My online racing teammate has this setup. If anyone else has this steering wheel (no FF), what are your control panel settings for it for NASCAR 4? (Mainly the sensitivity setting, but any other settings you have for it or any tweaks/tricks would be appreciated). TYIA Todd
I had the ms wheel, and stupid me thought Id like a Thrustmaster Pro digital better... DOH, that is slowly becoming a bad move! anyway there is a profile for GPL that can be found, has separate pedals, and set buttons for the wheel... came on the cd, but If I remember you can make the profile thing check the net for more profiles. In my experience, the spring was much stronger on the smaller diameter MS wheel, and I set the in NASCR sensitivity settings anywhere from 90 to 100%. I never messed with the windows control panel setting once I had the gpl profile (separate pedals) and in most all game I used a bit higher ratio for wheel ratio like 24:1 for most all tracks, except Bristol... ALSO of note, IN my experience the MS wheel, was a lot more precise and never in 4 months had it spiked, or as you THrustmaster people know, ever turned the car's wheels back to the right, as you turned to the left... I have used the Thrustmaster products since the T2 were new, and pots always went to shiit, I guess though I thought "digital" was somehow going to eliminate this problem... Now the Digital is as bad (almost) as the plain Nascar Pro gameport version I had (2 of before) The only thing missing on the MS wheel, is the dammable lack of shifter... I had to use paddles... (sometimes hard to remember right is up and left was down or such nonsense!?) But heck, for those with unlimited supply of money, the USB GPL Shifter by act labs, (69 us) could fix that? hmmm bought, and can still find either the sidewinder, or the Thrustmaster for around or less than 40 US, wonder if I would spend nearly double that for just a freaking shifter??? YEAH RIGHT.... If I could I would trade back... "Glockenspiel" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
