Pedal Dead Zone With Ferrari Wheel in F12001

I guess I've gotten used to the pedal dead zone in F12001 with the F1 cars, but it's really bothering me with the GT mod. With both the F1 and GT cars, nothing happens with the throttle until it's pressed about half way. Setting the z axis (throttle) sensitivity to 100% helps a little. If I set it to 0%, it's nothing and then........blast off. This is the only game under XP that I've had the problem. The tach in the N2002 demo responds the moment I touch the throttle. How many people here have this problem with the Ferrari wheel, and has anyone heard of a fix? David G Fisher

Just when I thought I'd fixed every problem I had with XP, along comes this one. I've got ME on another partition and I was able to fix the deadzone using DXtweak. Strangely enough, I was so used to the deadzone that I couldn't drive without it! Unfortunately, DXtweak doesn't seem to have any effect under XP. I'm going to do some registry monitoring under ME and see which values are modified by DXtweak and hopefully find an equivalent under XP. I'll let you know how it goes... -- Damien Smith [email hidden] ICQ: 77028579 F1 2001 rank: +35.325

Is your wheel the Ferrari? Like I said, my Ferrari wheel is perfect under XP in other games like the N2002 demo. It's only F12001. If you're wheel is the MS, there is a known fix for it under XP even though DXTweak isn't supposed to work under XP. You'll have to edit the registry. Check the High Gear forums.

I've tried the Ferrari wheel with GPL, N4, the N2K2 demo, Rally Championship (which also has some controller issues of its own), NfS, yada-yada, and I think the problem yer having with F12K1 is in the game. Running under XP would probably only exacerbate the problem. Dual-boot? "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Kw%78.27188$[email hidden]...

I solved all my very annoying controller problems (Guillemot Ferrari) in F12001 by doing what I intuitively would have done from the outset had I not read all the advice columns :) Assuming your deadzone is OK in Windows (it must be if the other titles work well), in the game set EVERY deadzone to 0 and EVERY controller slider to 100%. All axes will work as they would in real life--100% linear. The only problem you will have is steering straight at high speeds, so you will have to use a numerically low steering ratio in the set-up itself. I use 12 degrees and it works perfectly in terms of enough lock to take corners or get out of the pits. God, the GT mod is awesome...

I think it may be a flaw in the way the game handles split axis. I don't think it's the fault of any particular wheel or Direct X.

What operating system do you use? I have those settings with my wheel right now and there is still a dead zone. When you sit in neutral and gently touch the throttle, you're absolutely sure you hear your revs begin to rise immediately? In F1RC and the N2002 demo, I have full linear pedal travel, but in F12001 it does nothing until the pedal is about half way down, and then the revs finally begin to rise. I'm definitely not the only one with htis problem. Others with the Ferrari and MS wheels have reported the same thing.

I just turned off split axis to see what would happen and all of a sudden I don't have the dead zone anymore. As soon as I touch the throttle pedal, the revs begin to rise. It sure is nice to have more than an inch of pedal travel to control the throttle (probably forced me to be a better driver), but I do want split axis.

Just turned off split axis, and now I have full linear throttle control. As soon as I touch the throttle the revs begin to rise. Whole new game. :-) Hope ISI fixes this soon.

I have the Ferrari wheel, but use CH non-pro pedals. They work great in every game I have except F2001. I've tried everything including DXTweak and Marc's solution below, and I still have that extremely annoying deadzone. What settings am I supposed to change in DXTweak? I set my pedals' deadzone to 0 but it made no difference.

Yes, it works perfectly for me with split axis on Win98SE. I am using the 1.23 drivers, which is likely what makes the difference. The later drivers for the wheel suck, but I am not sure what will work under XP. Marc "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Xr388.28085$[email hidden]...
