Hi my F1 Sim wheel has broken tonight. When I try to use it it will only turn right!!! I have recalibrated using the win95, control panel, game controllers utility, and it calibrates ok, I went into GPL and ran for a bit and all was ok, then I lost it and crashed, and the wheel was out of calibration? I went to the GPL calibration screen in the options page and it would not calibrate (no left turn). I assume the steering pot is faulty, and I am about to take the F1 Sim apart, (not a problem as I've done this before) and have a look at the pot and possibly repair or renew it (I have a spare) I just wandered if anyone had any other possible causes? and any advice? There was no real clue before this happened indicating that it was about to happen. It just happened all of a sudden. I'm now stuck with my old T2 to use!!! 8-( Peter G

It was only the steering pot, I had a spare handy anyway, and have now swapped it over, and it feels like a new wheel!!! 8-) - (Happy again) *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html
