Sitting in a late model with a full-face helmet and HANS device attached you can barely see the very front part of the side windows. That is why most drivers now use the little mirrors attached to the front windshield posts and wider angled rear-view mirrors. Ed |

I don't think the digital rate setting does anything if you are using a wheel or joystick. I think the digital rate only affects keyboard controls. There is another setting that might help your situation. I believe it's called steering sensitivity. 50% is essentially 1-to-1 linear response between your steering wheel and the in-game steering wheel. Lower numbers will flatten out response around the center of steering lock. Try lowering sensitivity to 20% and you should get smoother response in a straight line. I like to keep sensitivity at 50%, because otherwise the non-linear response of the steering makes it hard to control the car in slides or in turns with differing radii. But, 50% is pretty sensitive if you aren't used to it. I just reduce steering lock until it becomes comfortable. A G25 with 900 degrees of rotation comes in real handy for this. You can run high sensitivity with high steering lock, have comfortable steering, and still get out of a crowded pit stall. Pat Dotson |

With this mod and the TH2GO, the sides of the in car view aren't
completed far enough back. In other words when you look far left you see through the window without the window net because it doesn't extend that far back. On the right side, you see past the right head pad because it isn't drawn far enough back. Should be an easy fix if the folks at The Pits are aware of it. It is a fun mod though . |

I think the Pits released 5 with the mod, but are planning on releasing all
of the tracks for the full season pretty soon. -- David G Fisher "RickSweeney" > wrote in message nk.net... >I meant how many tracks for the Pits... > > "Uwe Schürkamp" > wrote in message > ... >> On Tue, 13 Feb 2007 03:14:37 GMT, RickSweeney wrote: >>> How many tracks are you guys seeing in RF? >>> >>> >> >> rF Rank has about 200, I believe. >> >> Cheers, uwe >> >> >> -- >> GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 > > |

Here's what I did. Bearing in mind that I "discovered" this late and had to go to work, and as such, it has not been fully tested and/or tweaked. It DID smooth out the steering, especially at Dayto....Florida. I don't have the game running right now, so I'll give you the two things that I changed. If you need further help or the rest of my settings, please email or post back here. I won't be able to get the info until Thursday however. Sorry... Go to the controller section. Set digital steering to 100%. Go to the axis' tab and set the steering axis sensitivity to 25%. That's it. YOu want to play around with the sensitivity setting. I intend to try a range between 20-35 when I get the chance. Has it set to 100% and dropped it to 50%. That was still too "loose" for me, so I went to 25%. Not sure if the digital steering slider is even needed to be adjusted (again, still testing this whole deal). I ran a couple PB laps at Fla with this setup and was able to hold straight and true line similar those I ran in NR2003. With the setups, I am using a range of steering ratios, but pretty much 19.0-22.0. Finally, my rig: TSW2 with rewired USB connection (not the Rockfire adapter). 13" wheel (this may mean my numbers will differ than what you need if you have a smaller wheel). Good luck! |
