MS FF Wheel settings with GP3

I'm just starting to try out this game, but I'm really a GPL player nowadays. I like having the separate gas an brakes in GPL, so I'm trying to do the same with GP3. I think I've managed to separate them out; gas on the Y axis, while brake is on the IRZ axis. Good so far, but now I'm having some trouble in the calibration stage. When it asks you to put the pedal all of the way forward and then all of the way back and then in the centre, I tend to use the centring position as the same position as the all of the way back position. Is this wrong? Should I try to find a middle position on the pedals and take that as centre? The reason I ask is because I tend to see the car creeping forward when my foot is off the gas pedal. Yousuf Khan PS-Is anyone else disoriented when they try to do Monza in GPL vs. GP3? I don't recognize the place between the two games. It's also strange because I got used to Monza under the original GP1 and GP2, and Monza is the same between all three versions of the game. But after doing Monza in GPL, I am not used to modern Monza anymore.

Don't use the calibrate controller button in the first controller options screen, use the one in the advanced controller options screen, when you calibrate the pedals it should ask you to apply full throttle then apply no throttle, ditto the brake.

But it asks for a full forward, a full backward and a centre settings. For both pedals. Yousuf Khan

In the advanced controller options, first select Control Driven Calibration (lower right of the screen), then Calibrate. Also you may need the FF fix at http://www.alphaf1.com/stats/gp3download.php3?file=misc/wheelfix.zip Bart Westra

What were the problems found with FF wheels that required this fix? Yousuf Khan

this > fix? > > Yousuf Khan The wheel was pulling to the left a lot. I would suggest that you only apply the fix if the FF is not ok, and fiddling with the FF percentage or the Sidewinder profile does not help. Then if you want to apply it, you can do it by editing the registry manually and rename the key instead of deleting it alltogether. Like I did here bye prepending XXX (this is the actual key no kidding - it's default value should be "Raw Force"): HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\MediaProperties\PrivateP roperties\Joystick\OEM\Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel\OEMForceFeedback\Effects\XXX{e84cd1c6-81fa-11d0-94ab-0080c74c7e95} That way it is easy to restore :) Bart

There's no reason for any registry hacks. GP3 patch 1.13 addresses the wheel-pulling-left issue. -Jari Please remove SPAMLESS before replying via email.
