Still being new to NR2002, I find that I often have a heck of a time
keeping my car from drifting from side-to-side. I'm talking about
during hotlaps, so I know that going two or three wide during a race
would be a problem. On certain tracks it's worse than others. For
example, this problem is rather severe at Indy, but not apparent at
Daytona.
I know that part of the solution is configuring the controller properly,
but I don't think mine is off by much, since on some tracks everything
is fine. BTW -- I've been using the stock Papy set-ups (easy,
intermediate, fast), so I haven't made any adjustments there.
I guess the simple answer is that some tracks are tougher than others.
So, on which tracks would you recommend a novice (but not a complete
newbie) start out, and which ones to avoid until getting a bit more
under control?
Thanks!
Bert

Try going a bit more non-linear on the controller setup - and similarly try
upping the steering ratio a little.
I managed to find 0.5s on a qual lap at Daytona just by doing that - just
from smooothness.
It's a kind of pilot-induced occilation.

What's your linear/non-linear setting?

wheel. Usually when people have had your problem, it was becasue they had
too much non-linear steering. I run 100%. Anything less with my Ferrari
wheel and the car is hard to keep in a straight line.

I had it on once
and it seemed like the car was fighting me everytime I tried to steer,
especially on straights. It would not allow me to hold a steady line at all.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. I'll play with the Linearity settings.
Hey, nobody addressed the question about which tracks are easier. Any thoughts
on that?

They are all difficult in their own way, but you'll find that most of the
bigger tracks are much more forgiving to errors. Still, if you overdrive
the car, whatever track you are on, the track won't miraculously save you
;-)
Doesn't the LWFF suffer from a default 5% deadzone or something like that?
I thought I had read that somewhere.
