hi.. for the past month or so i've been using an old (7 years approx) thrustmaster GP1 with the paddles behind the wheel for brake and accel. wheel has been fine, but the pots are beginning to go.. so bought a wingman formula GT (the yellow one) and immedialtly lost 2 seconds a lap (LFS for instance) the cars wont accelerate as quick in a straight line nothing.. i can't see any obvious reason for this.. anyone any experience with this?

Aside from calibration issues, your profiler software may not match the settings for your old wheel. So if you had a throttle response that hit hard with the TM, maybe the WIngman has a much softer pedal curve response. Go to the Team Wingman site...look for their gadgets and grab a utility called clear calibration. Run that...it will clean out all the old data that Windows used for the TM wheel. Then reload your Logi in windows and calibrate it in there...then load your sims and re-calibrate each one. good luck dave henrie
thanks dave.. i downloaded dxtweak2 and had a look at the responses on both wheels and the curve is markedley different. this is probably whats part of my frustration. will have to learn how to use dx and improve the curve on the wingman.. again thanks "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
