GP3 after a week: canned spins argument continues 2000-08-03 · 35 posts
Following a one-week review, Danny again claimed GP3's spins were canned and even suggested doughnuts triggered a scripted routine, which drew ridicule. Others described catching slides and explained rear weight bias and grooved tyres. Martin D. Pay listed good and bad points after a week, and users swapped tips on mapping buttons with the Logitech Profiler.
F1 2002 handling feels wrong to some players 2002-09-21 · 49 posts
Larry felt something was off in F1 2002's physics, as if the car pivoted around the front. Dave Henrie and Jason Moyer posted controller settings, including 0% speed sensitivity and 50% axis sensitivity, plus enabling full-rate physics, which several users said transformed the handling. The thread then examined periodic stutters and frame rates, with killing background tasks under Windows 9x helping some.
Mario Petrinovic's force feedback settings and clipping argument 2011-08-20 · 27 posts
Mario Petrinovic posted what he called the right Logitech force feedback settings for iRacing. Pat Dotson tested them and said they caused constant clipping, explaining that clipping is a loss of detail when motors stay at maximum force. Ken MacKay suggested Mario mainly wanted the right damping and that his points were lost in translation, while GaryR dismissed the settings.
