Can't thank you enuff sir...that was the trick. Set my
ratio to 17/18 to 1 depending & the car felt
like it used to.
Reason I ran 20:1 initially was to help with
the full linear setting. Sorta forgot about it
having that much impact in that direction.
It still begs the question however, did Papyrus
change something in 1.2 that a affects the
steering ratio or is it the lack of DirectX 7 w/1.2?
Or the Wingman drivers?
Further investigation required.
Anyway, I owe ya one Don, ya saved my bacon.
>From the readme:
>By default, GPL uses a speed-sensitive steering ratio. At and above 60MPH,
the

the

by
