have you got the wheel plugged into a usb 2.0 port?

Anyways, I checked the net and people who have problems with this wheel in XP or vista 32 bit then the wheel is most likely defect.

However if you use windows vista 64 bit then the wheel will just not work at all!!

I have this wheel and use it on XP and it's really good price/performance.

Quote from teedot :

If you are blocking drivers unnecessarily (making more than one move off the racing line) anyone will get quite fed up being behind you, so you can pretty much guarantee that they will move you. This would happen in the real world too... if you were blocking me unnecessarily (and im sure there are plenty of others here who'd agree) I'd be sure to give you a good bump or spin you out... since blocking unnecessarily is just as unsportsmanlike.

If the driver behind you is faster, it's not a free ticket to continuously block them.

I agree with you on that and that is what I do. I only move once to defend my line and I never cut back or weave intentionally to block the faster driver. I always defend cleanly. But these guys I'm talking about didn't care if it was clean defending. They just said that because I was slower and even if I was on racing lap I should move over because they are faster!!

I always know my limits to defending cause I know the one move and stick to it. If the guys passes you then you've made your move, don't do a sharp cut back to block his move, this is illegal. All I did was make my move, stay on the inside so they have to overtake on the outside and make it harder for them to pass. If they make it stick then I let them go. But all I'm saying is don't intentionally bump me out of the way just because you think I should just give you my position because I am slower than you!! No, fight for my position, that's why it's called racing!

Also the times this year in Formula one that the slower guy on the same racing lap has let the faster guy through has been twice. And they were both team mate related. One was Heikki letting hamilton through and the other one was Kimi letting Massa through without fight. Apart from that everyone has fought and defended their positions cleanly. No faster car has bumped a slower car out of the way. If this happened they woulda got penalised and that's what I think LFS should start doing!!

I was racing on the demo servers last night and some drivers who are clearly S2 drivers comes on and starts bullying slower people in front of them, who are on the same racing lap, to get out of the way because they should pass by default only cause they are faster. And if the slower racer in front tries to defend their position the faster guy just bumps them out of the way. The faster guy expects, just because the slower dude (whos on the same racing lap) is so slow that he should just let him pass!!

So I just want to say to these "faster", but ruder, racers that if you're faster then find a way through cleanly!! It's the proper way to race. Because you are faster doesn't mean the slower guys have to move out of the way for you. They are racing you for this position. They might defend but you have to find a way past without contact!! This is what makes racing fun and exciting!.

I admit I'm slow with a 113:88 lap time but if you are quicker then I will defend my line cleanly and fairly. But if you start bumping me then no matter how fast a driver you are you will always be a poor racer!! Fast don't mean nothing if you aren't a clean driver. So next time you are behind a slower guy look for an opportunity to get through instead of pushing the slow guy in front off the track. That's not racing!! Just look at some F1 races in Monaco where the faster guy is stuck behind a slower car but on the same racing lap, the faster guy doesn't push him off he either finds a gap through without crashing or waits for the pit stops.

So stop bumping us and find your way through!!!
