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.

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 :)

Hi Larry
I notice the same thing as you at Daytona and Tally.
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!

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?

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! It just goes to show ya' that is why
they make Vanilla, Chocolate & Strawberry Ice Cream.. hahaha!!!

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!

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.

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??

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.
