I recently started playing GPL again, on a newer system. What I'm noticing is that the virtual steering wheel in GPL doesn't exactly match my controller inputs. For example, while on the main straight at Kyalami, I hold the controller wheel still, but the virtual in car steering wheel will move around a bit. I switched from using a twin joystick setup to using a Logitech momo racing wheel and pedals. The joystick I used for steering was getting noisy around the center, and a new one had the same problem. One wierd thing I saw was the virtual steering wheel would turn all the way left with the stick just a bit off center to the left but noisy. I don't know if it's the stick, the software for the stick or a problem with GPL, but since I don't see this problem with the momo, I'm guessing it's the stick. Getting back to using the momo racing wheel, I haven't figured out the right values for core.ini with force feedback enabled, but the wheel moving on it's own also happens when I have force feedback disabled in core.ini. My new system is a Core Duo Extreme (2.93ghz), and setting the BIOS to run single or dual core doesn't make any difference.

It's probably just indicate some "nervousness" in the wheel rather than it being just static. For FF settings, I use a pretty small latency - about 0.001, about 20 or 30 for the damping which is said to bring up the forces felt hitting obstacles like curbs and walls at higher levels, and about 250 for torque. My wheel is an Act-Labs Force RS. Putting the torque lower gives higher forces BTW. In control panel > game controllers, I put everything to 0% except for Overall force. Try starting with lower forces (higher torque number) and change slowly to increase it. I fine tune with the Overall force in game controllers.
