MS Force Feedback Wheel Centering Problem

Hello all, I've had an MS Force Feedback Wheel for about a year and a half and have no prolems with it until now. After hooking up my wheel/pedals and installing Rally Championship, the wheel no longer returns to a correct, upright center positio; instead it's tilted to the left to about 10 o'clock. Needless to say I'm not very fond of holding a wheel that should be dead center with the shift paddles at 7 o'clock (left) and 1 o'clock (right). Does anyone have any idea what might be going on and how I could correct this problem? Thank you, Mr. kemper

I'm not sure what causes that, but I found with mine, that if I shut the power off, turn it past 12 to about 1 o clock, then unplug it, and plug it back in, that it will center itself in the correct position. Hope that helps, TK
Hmmm. The wheel searches for center during power up by turning the wheel clockwise. If it doesn't find it, it returns the wheel to about the 11 o'clock position. (Is this what you meant?) Cycling the power again from there centers it everytime. The trick for mine is to turn the wheel to left of center before plugging in the power. I believe this is true of all MSFF wheels, and your 1:00 was a typo for 11:00? Michael. Tony Kelley <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:38a0aa3b$[email hidden]...
