i've obviously found the right place for help with this!

i tried your suggestion, using the control panel.. and that did lighten up
the steering.. but now i have no FF at all in the game, and the 2 lights
that are usually on on the wheel are now off.

i guess the problem is i really don't understand the realtionship between
the control panel settings, the logitech launcher applet, and the in game
settings.. they all seem to have simliar properties.. but which one 'rules
them all'?

is there an FAQ on this subject? i've looked but no luck yet.

thanks for any help
