You don't say anything about FFB (Ferrari wheel in my case) in the readme, but fixed it is. Huge improvement over 1.0. Thanks! For those of you unaware of the problems, it was very weak and would tend to lots of spurious quakes and motions. Others reported that it would conk out completely, though I never had that happen.

Ooops, I spoke too soon. The quaking/shaking is still there occasionally, although the general feedback is better--almost like it is being polled more frequently than before. Marc.

Unfortunately, I haven't noticed any changes. Talladega still feels like I'm driving a 1966 Chrysler Town & Country Station Wagon. Anyone who has driven one of these knows what 'light steering' feels like :) -Larry "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Gr4H6.653281$[email hidden]... > Ooops, I spoke too soon.

Try this, turn the latency in the FFB option up and/or turn the steering ratio in your set-up down, I found that these help a lot. The down sides though are that turning up the latency causes controller spiking so experiment until you find a happy medium, also any new setting you arrive at for Daytona and Tally will be undrivable on the other tracks, I start to get spiking with my MSFF after about 125ms, and turning the steering ratio down makes the steering quicker so you have to use a lighter touch with the wheel. Mark
Mark, I have experimented with the Latency, and you're right. It does help. I can't see myself changing the ratio, though. I already feel like it needs to be raised to 45:1. It's way, way more sensitive than it ever was at setting 5 in Nascar Racing <4. I was really hoping for that in the patch, but didn't get it :( Does anyone know of a way, maybe in DirectX, to kill off the steering sensitivity _before_ it gets to N4 ? I always felt that Papy's SIMS had the best controller code going. Unfortunately, I feel they have taken a huge step backwards in N4. Thanks for the idea! -Larry "Mark Aisthorpe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:KzjH6.24696$HH6.54837@news2-hme0...

FWIW & My 2cents, When I first got my FFB wheel I felt that most of my sim racing steer "lock" had to be dropped! I have always raced with a low lock from World Circuit Racing by Micoprose {without FFB} and nothing has changed with FFB except I have dropped down further! In ICR2 I used a 14:1 to 12:1 and GPL I used the same but when I got my FFB wheel I dropped it more! For me the super light touch is the only' way to go! But many drive differently and I can see how many want the higher steer lock.. The lower 'lock' has always let me acquire faster lap times and with the FFB it is even better! Especially in N4! To be honest for a long time I thought everyone used at least a 14:1 lock in all sims...duh!!! Soon I found out otherwise. "O" Well different strokes for different folks..eh??? Happy Racing.. Cheers Thom_j. P.S. Gee I never messed with the latency setting before. I wonder if I could 'squezze' another sec or 2 from Dega & Tona? Hmmm?

& FWIW <g> This is really odd Larry...lol.. Read my other post and you will see the lower the better for me and you prefer higher.. Much! Higher! Wow!! I barely move my wheel in N4 2"s {either way} from top dead center at any given time and I prefer less!

I think the force effects in N4 are perfect! I use the Act labs force rs. Yiou guys having problem ...have yall tried adjusting the castor settings in the setup. More positive caster wil give you a heavier wheel. I can even feel a diference as to how much air is in the tires! "Thom j." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:dkkH6.39883$[email hidden]...

Some of us try to use the amount of castor that optimises the speed and set-up of the car. Why would anyone want to adjust it just so that you can get appropriate FFB? Shouldn't Papy design the FFB to work with all set-ups and tracks? Does a real car steering wheel lose all the feedback with a castor adjustment? It should feel different with the castor adjustment, not make the difference of being there or not there. Marc.

If you get the castor set good it makes the car drive a little better but it also gives you better feel. Its just like any other part of the setup and ther always are chioces to make. I have some very good setups for speed and wear and they all have alot of good feel through the wheel, so we already have what your talking about. If you find a good ratio that you cant live without then all you have to do is keep the same ratio and adjust it that way. Castor is not gonna make a drastic difference in speed though.

Ronnie B, I understand what you are trying to say but I have no problems with my FFB wheel and I can feel every little change I make in N4 or any other setup in other sims that have FFB. I feel that you can and should do your FFB setup within the controller setup in any sim/game with FFB.. So I get what you are saying but I have never needed to change a 'castor' setting just to feel or not to feel something in mg FFB.. Its all subjective I guess?? Cheers Thom_j.

I had the same concern when I first started playing N4. Now however I really love the fact that you can feel the changes in the setup it is extremly useful as you can tell whether or not the setup is good by how the car feels in the wheel! I think all force games should reflect setup changes in the car ..this seems to be in line with what id expect in real life.

That's easy, set steering linearity at 0% if that's your bag, personally I'm of the least movement in the wheel the better cam :o) Mark "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Cz_H6.64215$[email hidden]...

As has been brought up before, Liniarity won't do it. It just doesn't feel right. It has to be Linear. The RATIO range needs to be increased. Anyone used to running 5 in N3 for steering is gonna have a fit with N4, even at 32:1. -Larry "Mark Aisthorpe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ao1I6.4$mB4.1047@news2-hme0... > That's easy, set steering linearity at 0% if that's your bag, personallyI'm
