We NEED a patch or etc. to "uncheck" the boxes.I have been using keyboard for brake and gas(for years!!) even with Gpl,and N4 seems stupid when at a small track (with all that enabled),it KILLS lap times.I drive inside alot and it kills me.ANyone else? I really want a solution(like HEat,it has an adj for sensitvity for pads.etc.),before I can take online racing seriously.Its like having a MANDATED limiter because I dont want some slick,gaudy,expensive wheel taking up space on my desk.I do fine with a JSTICK and see NO reason to be "punished" for it.

Yes,Im patched,, My problem aint room..I have two AMD K7s and a 233 P1, Three puters,means three wheels for one game...(Ok 2,233 is my music server) besides,if I HAD to have a wheel,it would be Force FB,and they aint cheap. I just REALLY dislike being forced into a control option.I have fiddled a little bit with it since being patched,and it seems more stable(steering),but the intrusion of traction control is still a bummer.Abs is never an issue,just the tracion control. If there is an adjustment in an ini file,that is better than nothing.I have no complaints with the game(other than its gonna make me upgrade VCARDS(thats plural))as far as crashing,or online(im a dial up,so thats out for now) works great. Im really just looking for a tip on that,not on what I wish could do(In my dream world,I COULD have a Jstick(for my FSs and cycle games)and a wheel and pedals(for you know what)(at least pads are cheap)and those virtual reality pods Little E has four of,but since Im blessed with enough sense to buy real things that matter(gas,bread,kit kats,insurance,cableTV),I cant afford my own arcade heaven just yet. Tips on the problem at hand only plz
Um, like, pick one ?

If you need someone to buy a wheel for, buy one for my 3 year old son. I gave him my wore out nascar pro thinking no way he will notice it not working exactly right. Man was I surprised, after about a week with nascar heat he came to me and said daddy the car just want turn when I want it to. So I put him on my computer with nascar 4 and he ran a full lap at dega without crashing.So pitch in and buy him nascar pro digital or something so I can have my f^&*%%$32 computer back.

I will then just say that Im being discriminated against,lol! I run two Puters at once and I bought a wheel for PSX long ago,in a galaxy fa far away,and it was trash (peddles especially) in two months.Sticks last longer here(no pun intended),and I dont like to be forced into ABS,etc. SO....this be my last post unless someone has a remedy and emails me. HAPPY RACES ALL!
You can buy some wheels and pedals for LESS than a joystick. On Fri, 27 Apr 2001 04:26:29 GMT, "Jody Darnell" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Giving your 3-year old kid a worn-out, non-working wheel.. Tsssk sir, you don't deserve getting your f^&*%%$32 computer back for a long while! Andre
