FF set to FULL Sensitivity set to 100% on the three axis that matter (X = steering, and whatever the two are for brake and throttle) Dead Zone set to smallest value (10% I think) for the three axis In my setups, I find setting the braking pressure to about 80-90% helps with brake "feel". There's one other value I can't recall, something to do with steering as well, I have it set to about 60%. The wheel itself is set to 100% FF effects, centring spring is ON and SPLIT AXIS is checked.

Thanks, I will try your suggestions.

Can someone please explain that Digital Rate stuff? I still don't get it.

Yea, are all the different control variables documented somewhere? I'd
also like to know about all the sound variables too. |

About all you need on that page is the speed sensitivity...<exact name is blank right now> I turn that off. It is designed to help smooth out high speed driving..so OBVIOUSLY I don't need it... No really, it's like a filter that averages out your inputs, and thus crops off some of your input. You can mollify a nervous car in the setups with the steering lock percentage. Smaller steering lock % is a less twichy car. |

So if you are using an analog device, do the digital settings even do
anything? If not, they should be blacked out when an analog device is chosen. If the digital "delay" is being applied to analog devices that would be a bad thing... Pat Dotson |

Cool, so set all the digital stuff to as low as possible, right?

You could try a little experiment and set them to full on, then drive some then go back and set them to zero and see if anything changes. Except for the Speed Sensitivity, they shouldn't affect a wheel. Pat's idea about greying them out is good, he should post that in the requested features thread at RSC. dh |
