Can any of you help me with this? I use a keyboard, and I cannot stear left or right, no matter what setup I use. The keys are assigned and all that, but I cannot get the car to actually, gasp, turn left when playing Daytona. I run straight into the walls. I mean, I can turn left, but only effectivly at 60 mph. Is there ANY cure? A cure, that is, that does NOT involve "Getting a driving wheel". -- Michael Adams, Editor, The SF Commentary Site-- http://www.mindspring.com/~sfcommentator/index.html Email: [email hidden]
To be honest with you, even if you figure out how to make it work (steering sensitivity, linear settings maybe..) I do not see how you will be actually able to drive the car. N4 takes very precise controls compared to earlier games. "Michael Adams" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wphk6.753$[email hidden]... > Can any of you help me with this?

Getting a joystick Heck, you can get a 5-dollar cheap joystick and it would be much better for you. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you... -- http://www.ymenard.com/ -- People think it must be fun to be a genius, but they don't realise how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.
At least get a joystick!!! I can't understand why people would want to play a sim with a keyboard. It's never going to be enjoyable just with a keyboard. Michael Adams wrote:
