Sorry for leaving. With about 10 minutes left in qualifying, the power went out in hour house for 10 sec. Computer was on a UPS so I stayed connected, but my wheel was not and it reset.
In the pits I could see the wheel moving in game so I thought it was ok (I didn't go on track to completely make sure). When the race started, I had no FFB at all. I tried to make do with it,but after a lap it just wasn't working. I should have exited the game and then rejoined, and I would have been OK since there was time left in qualifying. I learned to do that next time :/
