N4 - Still Turns Right

I've worked on several nice N4 setups. The only remaining problem is I must have the wheel turned to the right going down the straights. It doesn't matter which track. I understand setting the car up to have more emphasis on making it easier turn to left, but I have the wheel (MadCatz Andretti) cranked to the right going down straighaways. How have ya'll overcome this? Thanks, Martin

Use 100% linear setting in the controller setup screen. You still have to have the wheel slighty to the right, but not fully cranked. Jason. Rush wrote:

Thats the way it really is in real life as well, its not supposed to be straight going down the straightaways on most ovals if you're using a proper setup -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Rush <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Scns7.4$[email hidden]... > I've worked on several nice N4 setups.

If you get a FFB wheel you will find the left pull is much less noticeable.

Crank the linerity up, that will help with the pull (by decreasing required sterring travel). FF wont help much if the car and linearity aren't setup right, it can actually inflate the pull if the linearity isn't proplery adjusted to your taste, car setup, wheel, etc. I know, I have run this game with both FF (LWFF) and nonFF (TSW2 Cup) and both are affected. nonFF actually is "easier" to drive, you don't have to fight the FF in addition to other cars, the track and the weather.

I have a better one... TRIM TAB! Not everything real transfers to a simulation well... MGI listens. Does Papy? -Larry "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:2Uts7.42865$[email hidden]...

That is normal and the way it should be with a very asymmetrical setup. Also many straights are not flat and are banked. Set the car up symmetrical and it will not pull, and you will be dirt slow. make sure your wheel setup is 100% linear or very close to it to minimize the amount you have to steer left. If your wheel has a adjustable "dead zone", shrink this down some. You can slow down the steering ratio if need be to compensate for adjusting these other things. The way most real world oval racers handle this is their wheel is installed "turning left" (tires straight) so when they compensate for the pull on the straights the wheel is "straight" when in actuality the front tires are steering right a little.

Work around with your castor and camber angles.. and you should be able to get a better results... other than that I can only think of 3 other "solutions": a. Get a proper wheel b. Get used to it. c. If both a and b. fails... : N3! -- ed_ "Rush" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Scns7.4$[email hidden]... > I've worked on several nice N4 setups.

Speaking of N3, Ed. Do you have any TPTCC setups for Bullrun? :) dave henrie "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1XFs7.2420$[email hidden]...

YES! We were 'told' (ssshhhh this is a secret...) that we might get some testing done BEFORE the current TPTCC season ends. We WILL do a Bullrun 1000 this year ONLINE but with two drivers each running one very LOOONNNNG session. Methinks those of us who have stayed with the N3 TPTCC will have a hard hard time figuring out these N4 monsters... :) dave henrie "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:isGs7.2452$[email hidden]...

On the other hand if you have it set up right you don't have to fight the FF in the *turns*, which is part of the point of having to steer right to go straight. KFG
