MOMO Force Question

I just installed my new Logi MOMO Force wheel, and I find that the wheel is turned about 5 degrees to the left when I'm going down a straight. It also feels that I get a bit more immediate response turning to the left than turning to the right, but that could just be my first impression as I've only run a few laps so far. (Note: This is in GPL and GTR2002. I have not tried it in any of the Nascar sims yet, where I would expect to have to turn it a bit to the right in order to go straight.) In fact, in GPL, while just sitting in the pits, the wheel slowly turns to the left by itself...... When I'm simply at the Windows desktop with no racing sim activated, the wheel still sits about 5 degrees to the left, but does not move any further by itself. I did calibrate within GPL (twice) and it still does this. Please note that I have not adjusted any Profiler settings or car setups yet, from what they were when I was using the MOMO Racing Wheel. (Note MOMO Force now vs MOMO Racing previously). Is this normal for this wheel, or is there some adjustment that I need to make? If I need to use DXTWEAK, I'll require some specific instruction on what adjustment to make, as I've never had to use DXTweak with any of my previous Logi wheels. I'm running Windows 98SE on an AthlonXP1700 w/512 Megs RAM, is that helps any. Any help/suggestions on how to starighten the wheel out would be appreciated. Thanks! Bert

Found the MOMOTweak utility on Logi's site. Applied it and it appears to have fixed the problem. Apparently, this is a known issue with this wheel. Thanks anyway, guys.... BRH wrote:

It sure is. It is not true-centered mechanically for some odd reason. We had to fight like hell for that utility, and finally got it. Before the utility, they just kept patching the drivers a little bit at a time and releasing a new beta with the wheel a little more corrected. It was maddening at first.
