N4 Car seems to pull to right

Doesn't matter if I use my Microsoft Freestlye Pro gamepad in Analog mode or my Thrustmaster Grand Prix wheel I always seem to have to have the controller to the left of centre to stop the car going right all the time. Any clues anyone

it is supposed to do that...The track it slanted to the left, the car has setup parameters that pull the car left, the whole purpose of a WC car is to turn left...so they exagerate the weight balance etc to help that. dave henrie "Stuart Nicholson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Doesn't matter if I use my Microsoft Freestlye Pro gamepad in Analog modeor > my Thrustmaster Grand Prix wheel I always seem to have to have the > controller to the left of centre to stop the car going right all the time. > Any clues anyone > >

Correct, except that he said it is pulling to the RIGHT. Maybe he's from Down Under.

Well that would be a good assumption since everything seems to turn the wrong way down under. Just look at a toliet. Dave Haqsau <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:T%Jb7.52077$[email hidden]...

In our everyday experience water running down drains does not spin due to coriolis force. Toilets flushing in oposite directions either side of the equator due to coriolis force is a fable.

Yeah. The Simpsons made a great point out of this phenomena in a episode. My problem was that when I went Down Under last year I couldn't remember which way the water went here, and vice versa when I got back home :) -- Olav K. Malmin remove .spam when replying

Indeed, that's true. On the other hand, as a point of relevance to this n.g.; the effect of the Coriolis force on, say, a Champ car driving at full speed in the North-South direction is indeed of the order of magnitude of a Newton, which could probably be even measured if one did it carefully. -Gregor Jan Verschueren wrote:

Now there is somebody with way too much free time on their hands. ;o) "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > In our everyday experience water running down drains does not spin dueto > coriolis force. Toilets flushing in oposite directions either side ofthe

Would you come & check my toilet for spin please Jan? :) "Jan Verschueren" wrote:

This works with weather systems, but at all with toilets ;) Gerry

Sure... but the call-out fee is gonna be huge. Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn. "Thom j." wrote... > Would you come & check my toilet for spin please Jan? :) > > <snip>

Surely that only works well away from the Equator though - otherwise you'd have no significant change in radius... Or have I got this totally wrong? Jonny

Absolutely true :). I just didn't want to make it too technical, especially as just the order of magnitude was of interest. Cheers, -Gregor Jonny Hodgson wrote:
