Does anyone have recommended settings for the RS and N4, I downloaded the lightspeed setup for Vegas and I just spin out, barely turning the wheel. It just feels twitchy. The wheel just doesn't feel right.......any help would be greatly appreciated. -TAZ

You can try the setup that GTX_Slot put on his website www.slottweak.com. He normally puts up some pretty good stuff but I still didn't like it. But I, like you, have had problems with the twitchy steering. The recommended "fix" you're probably going to get is to adjust the linearity setting. IMO, that is complete garbage. A steering wheel is a linear input device so why make an adjustment that makes it non-linear. For all of the praise that N4 is getting, they can't get something as simple as this right. Go figure. Ok, I'm ready for the flames.......... On Sat, 03 Mar 2001 04:48:37 GMT, "TAZ" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I have act labs force rs. my N4 setting linearity = 95% Force and damping at 100% latency at 50ms In windows controll panel all 100 but NO centering spring. to get a good feel from the road you need to adjust your caster in the setup. a good setting will help you turn and give you alot of feedback. even bumps.

I have used that same setup with the ForceRS. It took awile but I got it so I dont spin. What you need to do is use the gasto help turn the car. go back to the site you got hte setup from and read a little about what they say about the setup. =================== Dwayne =================== "I told him he was number 1" (Dale Earnhardt) I will miss you Dale

LOL and I think its absolute perfection seems VERY accurate to me. :) "Dog-Leg" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3aa68ede$[email hidden]...
