I tried to use a racing wheel (Trust Force Feedback Racemaster II) in Star
Wars Racer. But the game does not respond to the wheel. First there is a
little bit of FF action (vibrations at the start of the race), although it
is not possible to use throttle or steer. When I use the cursor keys to
steer (and throttle), after the first corner or so the FF action stops and
there are coming strange noises from the wheel: a buzz like there is a
short-circuit (no smoke...).
In Settings it is possible to set some parameters for FF, but there is no
way to assign throttle, brake and steering.

Anyone ideas on how to make this wheel work in Star Wars Racer?

Thanks in advance,
Andr�.
