LWFF Excessive Dead zone

I'm running NR2002 with the LWFF, and I'm noticing an abnormal amount of center dead zone. I'm just wondering if others are having this also? I know there should be some, but its making me have trouble in the sim. I'm having a hard time coming out of the corner, and having to steer way right to keep it close to the wall. I understand on certain tracks with a lot of banking it makes it difficult, but it seems a little excessive in my case. thanks

Set the linearity slider in the calib screen to a smaller value. I set it to 0, removes the deadzone completely but the car becomes very twitchy to drive :) Andre

Andre, Don't you have that backwards? With my LWFF, the _higher_ I set the Linearity, the smaller the deadzone I get and the twitchier the car gets. At zero, my deadzone is huge, while at 100, I wobble back and forth with the slightest input to the wheel. FWIW, I'm no hotshoe, but I have mine set at between 80 and 90. Bert Andre Warringa wrote:

Andre, thanks for the reply, but this didn't make any difference for me as far as the dead zone is concerned. thanks again

Oops, yes I got confused with GPL.. in GPL you have to set the slidebar to the left to get more linearity, in N2002 it's the other way around indeed. In GPL I have the slider full left, in N2002 I set it at 90. 100 is a bit too much in N2002. Andre

All I can say now is WOW, thanks a whole lot, now I can finally race competitively. Makes racing a whole lot more enjoyable, before I was all over the place coming out of the turns. thanks again!!!!
