Just got N4, looks great. Is it possible to make a fast setup that
does not pull to the left? Can't get used to turning right going down
the straights.

If you have a FF wheel, this is a reasonable statement.
But, if you have a non-FF wheel, or use a FF wheel in non-FF mode (which I
do), then until a Trim Tab is added to the setups you will either have to
fight the wheel, or fight the car, depending on the setup.
The reason I don't enable FF in N4 is because the FF programming for Dega
and Tona is screwed up, IMHO. It is WAY too loose around the center, and
with the more aggressive ratios for steering in N4, it's hard not to wander
around on the track. There just isn't enough tension in the FF centering
forces at these two tracks.
The best balance I've found is to use the SideWinder Software, set the
Centering Spring to Medium, and set N4 to FF Disabled. At least I can drove
at the superspeedways without it feeling like I'm driving a 1966 Chysler
Imperial (the true "finger-steer" car).

No real hidden meaning :)
Just don't breath on the wheel too hard. With it set that touchy at Dega or
Tona, you might end up driving 5 miles per Lap instead of 2.5 miles :)

"O' Duh!! Color me idiot!! phew!! You typed "Breath, turn left" like in
"breathe"..lol Sorry I wasnt awake I guess? Yea I love the tight feel of
a 12:1 lock in at Tona & Dega! Damn I'd take 10:1 or lower for the 2
RCs too..lol Thanx for clearing it up tho' Larry. Just goes to show you
how dumb I really am.. eeeeecccckk.. :o(.. hahahaha
