I'm terrible with a wheel

How do you guys do it. I have a G27 my partner bought for me like 5 years ago that I never used (it was awkward to put on my desk, so I put it in a closet and forgot about it). Ended up buying a whee...

    @Albert_Park_ a polo shirt tucked in shorts always mean business. I'm not surprised he is the one holding up the trophy.

    @Nylink you've got a handful of good answers here already and they all converge on this: it is a slow process, but we always get there. I think you just need to find joy in it.
    Consider swapping another simracing title in the mix as I suggested before. Gotta have fun while adapting to the wheel to keep the frustration in check.

@Ultrasonic_77no, I don't find it as fun right now because I'm not as quick. It's just really frustrating at the moment. I've been driving for years in real life, it just doesn't feel the same in a game for some reason. I can't get the hang of it.

Right now I'm on medium TC (I don't spin out with it) and auto gears because I can't drive properly in the first place lol. My whole reason to switch to wheel is to stop using autogears and tc.

@mariohomohit's been about a week. I thought I would pick it up faster than I have so that's probably why I feel so frustrated. I think I'm honestly worse than when I started using the wheel. I play on PC, and I have a lot of other sims that I want to play that I haven't because they suck with controller. That's the main draw for me to these F1 games, since I can use a controller and have fun with it.

@Bauersomeyeah, the stand I bought allows me to adjust for my liking, which I think I have nailed at this point. I don't know if my wheel is acting right or that I set it up correctly because I find it super sensitive, which makes me twitchy when using it.

Tried the wheel again today and dropped it for my controller in Canada, I don't want this wheel to go to waste..

I had same issues before using analog sticks became I thing.  And numb thumb was all the rage from using d-pad.   Was useless when forced to use the stick but before long stick was the way.   Just a matter off getting used to it and muscle memory
