It seems that in my GPL game, its best if i calibrate once per lap.  I
judge this because I cannot lock up the tires on braking sometimes.
The braking is greatly reduced.  I hit F3 and recalibrate and then
resume the game.  Braking produces locked up tires right away.  Anyone
have an idea what is going on here?  I am using a UltraRacer PC
controller.

Thanks,

Tom

        I have the same thing as of late.. I'll calibrate the steering but
after a couple laps it gets all screwy.  I have never cleaned the
steering pot, so, I'll just assume that it does this because the pot is
bad(?)

        I have a home made wheel all set to go. But, I don't want to use it
till I get the peddles done.  Till then, I'll just run a couple hot laps
then just watch everyone else race on GSB.

Same problem here sometimes with my T2 (direct input)

Well, at least now we know we're not alone ;-)) No real prob when off-line
but major shit when you're on-line thoughg. Would appreciate a solution if
anyone has it!!

I never have steering problems, only braking.  I can work around it
but its such a pain.   Steering would suck!  best of luck.

hi guys......delete your control.cfg file.....gpl somehow corrupts the
file after many hours of usage...why?....i dunno...but all you do is
delete the controls file and once you restart the game...recalibrate
your wheel and a new controls.cfg file will be created and everything
should be fine.....
