Neutral settings in LW Profiler?

Does anyone know which settings, for steering, brake,and throttle, you would
select in the Wingman Profiler to have it do nothing to the linearity and
response?

Every time I've loaded the Profiler with previous releases, it has screwed
up my GPL driving just enough that I fall off the track even more than
usual. This hasn't been too big of a problem in the past, because I didn't
need anything the Profiler did too badly. Although I did miss those shifted
buttons to make lengthy apologies for crashing into people, without having
to stop and type....

But now the Profiler now has the ability to set combined and separate pedals
for each game. This would be real handy since I'm running GP 500 (can't use
separate pedal axis), and GPL (need separate pedal axis). But I don't want
it introducing non-linearity in the controls, which is what the Sensitivity
setting in the Profiler seems to do no matter where I put it.

Any suggestions?

I don't think it's non-linearity that the Profiler introduces. It's the 2%
dead zone that ruins your driving (that's the minimum setting in the
Profiler). Use DXTweak to set it to zero and see if the problem has gone.

Good luck,

With the previous profilers, I found that medium settings were the same as
running drivers-only.  Also, while it's an extra step, using DXTweak to
modify your end-values for steering before playing GP500 will make the wheel
much more responsive and you can still run it fully linear.  I close the end
values in by about 150 on each end for GP500 (with my modified 270degree
LWF).  BTW, if you max out the end values for the Rally Championship demo,
the steering actually works pretty well; I went from about 3:3X to a 3:12 by
doing
it.

Cheers,
