GP3 car jerks to the side

This is a GREAT drive! Unfortunately for me as I go down the straight and at other times also, the car jerks to the side with an input that I didn't initiate. This keeps putting me into wall or sign, even causing excursions in turns. The 'spikes' can be seen in the retrieved lap info. They don't always occur in the same place but sometimes there are also spikes in the throttle at the same place. This never happened to me in GP2 but I know it used to happen to others. Is there a fix? Win ME Dx8 GP3 1.13 Logitech Formula Wheel

Hi Dennis, try going to your Game Controllers panel, and find the option Poll with interrupts enabled. Uncheck it and see if it helps. -Gregor Dennis wrote:

There is an option in the config screen that talks about FF and pulling to the left, check that box. SLG Gregor Veble <[email hidden]> wrote:

That box is for MSFF wheels which constantly pulled to the left in GP3 (rather than trying to centre), I doubt it would affect spiking. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> Steve Garrotto <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > There is an option in the config screen that talks about FF and > pulling to the left, check that box. > > SLG

Gregor, I just removed the 'check' from the box and drove a Quick Race. The game is now, not just GREAT but also smooth, which means its now FABULOUS!! I also took a second off my best time[which is pitiful] in that short run. I look to really getting the car setup right now and learning to drive this beautiful, BEAUTIFUL game! Thanks you very much!! -- Dennis

me too using win98se... uncheck the "poll-box" doesn't help. Sideshow Bob wrote:
