Interesting, Mark -
Since you only mention GPL and N4, something comes to mind. Those two sims
use in-game controller calibration, whereas most do not, only allowing
tweaks to the directinput values (ala NH). You might play around with
sequence; set DXTweak values , recalibrate in-game, then drive, or;
recalibrate in-game, set DXTweak values , then drive without recalibrating
again in-game.
Do the raw values reported in DXTweak from the MSFF pedals still move at the
extremes of travel?
Hmmmm......
