Hi Y'all I have a Logitech Wingman Formula GP (the yellow one) and it does not have it's own software. Any ideas on how to decrease the sensitivity as I find the steering far to loose for my liking. I thought DXTweak may help, but I have no idea how to use it so downloaded it and left it at that for now. Am only managing 1:33's at Monza. It may be my average on the joystick, but the car was all over the place with the wheel and I was almost sweating trying to pull a lap like that out of my bubble butt!! -- Snappin' Away, Andrew Mercieca VFT Member, Licensed CAMS Official F3, O3, U3
Good idea Steve, but this device does not have any Logitech software, it uses the standard MS provided Joystick drivers. Any idea if DXTweak would solve problem & if so, how do I use it? -- Snappin' Away, Andrew Mercieca VFT Member, Licensed CAMS Official F3, O3, U3 "Steve Whitty" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3b04f052$0$25472$[email hidden]... > go to Logitech and download the software for the wheel and adjust the > sensitivity with the Wingman Profiler. > hope this helps > > steve > > http://www.logitech.com/cf/support/logitech_wingman_soft.cfm > >
Steering's too "loose"? Not sure what that means, but if your GPL settings were optimized for a stick before, you might want to first try tweaking things in GPL like linearity and steering ratio. Closer to linear generally works better with a wheel, and higher ratio numbers (20:1) will make the steering less sensitive. DXTweak can take you further, even with the standard windows driver, but odds are that's not your problem. But if you do use DXTweak, look for the deadzone in your steering axis and reduce or eliminate it. With a deadzone and non-linear response curve, you have to snap the wheel around a lot and end up oversteering. You want smooth, even response with a wheel. Cheers, Steve B.
