Just shooting in the dark here based on my own personal experience...
When I feel like my chair seems to lean, or respond unevenly.... The cause always seemed to be an incorrect profile setting. At least if that effect was only happening in 1 game and the other games didn't experience the same problem.
Usually the cause was having 1 force set differently between left and right settings. For example, the percentage setting would be set 50% on left, and 70% on right for lateral force. When both should be set at the same percentage.
Another possible incorrect setting is not having mirrored force values with for left & right. For example...
Lateral Force
left is set 500,000 max (positive/negative) / 50,000 min (positive/negative) and
right is set 50,000 max (positive/negative) / 5,000 min (positive/negative)
Notice the max/min setting doesn't mirror left and right. This happens accidently when making adjustments to settings and not noticing the fine details. LEFT & RIGHT should be 500,000 max ( pos/neg) / 50,000 (pos/neg)
Also check and make sure you have the invert setting correct for left/right depending on which force may require a different setting between left and right.
The easiest way to check settings is to turn all forces to 0% and check 1 force at a time until you find the source of the anomaly.
Another issue could be your rig not being properly balanced. But you would notice this issue in all games equally.
Personally I experienced using a 2nd PC was only beneficial to improve performance becuase running x-sim on the same gaming machine was causing very poor frame rates in the game, or really choppy motion (or laggy) movement. Something I don't experience with a decent PC & video card. So I've had no benefit running a 2nd PC for X-sim.
