Eldred, the 'wandering' of the car on a straight can also be setup
dependant.. A couple of days ago I mailed you my Monza replay with
Leonardo Grandis' Monza setup. Try that one, do you also have the
wandering with that setup? If yes, then there is a problem with your
wheel I think, because that setup doesn't result in wandering on my
system.
This could be interesting Eldred..

I haven't tried it yet. That was a Lotus setup, right? I had two league races
I needed to practice for. One was at Brands Hatch, which I *hate*. My Monza
league race this past week was in an Eagle, which I needed practice on. I'll
try it this week.

Ok, I just tried Leonardo's setup. Straight out of the box, I kept spinning on
the first lap. Finally got 2 laps put together, but the car was all over the
place(I would have been pulled over for drunk driving...). Laptimes(including
outlap) - 1:51, 1:31.9, 1:31.6. I ran CTFJ and changed the deadzone from the
10% that it was to 5%. Tried the setup again. 1:44, 1:39, 1:44, 1:32.
Better, but not comfortable. The car swapped ends on braking at Para the first
three laps. Loaded up Alison's setting that I changed to a 18:1 ratio. 1:35,
1:30.8, 1:30.1. Although I just realized while posting this that I should have
tried the first setup again, but maybe changed the steering ratio. I don't
think that would have helped the braking, though.
What's your linearity set at? Mine is set under the 'E'. Also, what's your
deadzone set at?

Linearity completely to the left. And it was a while ago that I played
with the deadzone settings, but I vaguely remember using DXTweak to
alter the deadzone and using 2 variables -2 and -2 somewhere.
I'm at work atm so I can't check it for you.
The setup from L.Grandis is ofcourse more difficult to handle than for
example Alison's setups, Leonardo drives a 1:26.49 with this one, so I
can imagine this setup is a tad more difficult for you than Alison's
setup. Brake bias is more to the rear so you have to brake real
carefully and press the throttle just a little bit under braking to
stabilize the car.
But the point I was curious about was: does the car weave on the
straight, after Ascari for example? On my system it doesn't, as you
can see in my replay.
Too bad you live so far away, I'd love to test your system to see if
you have been driving with a bad system setup..
Perhaps you can visit a GPL'er in your neighbourhood to test GPL on
his system to see if there are any differences?
A friend of mine has allmost the same system as me, same wheel, but he
hasn't fine-tuned his settings and I'm 1-2 seconds slower on Monza on
his system..
Do check out Nunnini's and Alison's site, they are full with system
setup tips (I remember I got my deadzone tweaks from
www.simracingmag.com).

Man, full linear would drive me crazy, I think...
Yes, quite a bit.
1-2 seconds sounds like a LOT of time at Monza...
I'll see what I can find.

I use full linear as well, someone told me during my first week of GPL'ing
that that gave better control of the car. I think once you're used to one
way though the other way seems impossible, no matter which you're used to.
Erm, hope that made sense...
