Very interesting Dave. I know that I have never been able to match the times I
used to turn with my old TM Pro non FF. I am at best a backmarker using FF
where I used to actually win now and then :)

Sure, drop me an e-mail. I have July 26-30 as vacation. <g>

Yeah, I need to add "install TS" on my to do list. I usually forget about it
until someone asks when I join the RASCAR race.
I'm sure it's at least 'Two Things', but I agree with you.

In the Daytona race, I was dropping to 28FPS coming off T4. Boy, *that* was
fun in traffic...*sigh*.
I think it dropped to about 31 at Chicago - I was too busy turning to notice.
What FPS do most of you get?

I turn off shadows, sun-flare's, etc... and leave the important stuff like
drawing distance, quality, trackside objects, etc... all cranked up.

I have *most* of it turned down(or off). Which means I lose brake markers that
others take for granted. I'll eventually find a happy medium between framerate
and adequat feedback...<g>

Same here, that's why I'm a happy non-ff racer. whenever I try my
mate's Momo force, I simply cannot get anywhere near the laptimes I
manage using my home TSW setup, and the controls feel much less
accurate. Cheers,
uwe

That's probably because the default settings for the momo are far too strong
and are almost undrivable.
If you're talking GPL, then GPL's FF isn't particularly good compared to
more modern games. You can make it so it's not too bad with a lot of
messing around...
No matter wether it's GPL, F1C, N200x, I'm slower with ff, simple as
that ;-) The springs in the tsw give me all the force feedback I need,
although of course it's rather "linear" ;-)

That teacher was sure right way way back when he told me the importance of a
proof read *before* submission not after :-)

Thanks for the comment, but I think I have all the FF I need with my
TSW. Anything more would surely kill my old, arthritic shoulder
joints.
all the best,
