What are the differences between the two drivers? I've never understood why
there are two options.

I know this is a "common known problem" but i've forgotten the fix..

When i select "generic" driver (so papy driver), then the calibration
screen shows no input (i have a TM supersport, 3 axis). I just can
calibrate when i select the Windows driver. What's the problem???

I need this papy driver because all my setups are developped with this
one (the other one feels different and not so good).

Thanks

In you GPL/Player/<your name> directory delete controls.cfg. Then reboot
your system and start GPL. It should work then.

I don't know exactly what, but i can guarantee you that there is a difference
between the drivers. To me, the generic one has a linearity curve (i usually set
the linearity button in the mid position) smoother than the "Windows" one.For
instance, with the regular one, i have more difficulty to counter steer without
having a strong reaction from the car . With the regular driver, i also feel
more entry understeer than with the papy driver, everything else being the same.

It's just my feeling. What other people think about it?

With my TM Formula Sprint (aka Nascar Sprint), the only driver that works ok
is "generic".
The "Direct Input" is twitchy and unpredictable.
For instance, when going round the slowest part of Parabolica it sometimes
makes
the car suddenly jump up on the cerb without any change in steering input.
