N4 Wheel Sensitivity?

During my first night of play I noticed that my wheel seems way too sensitive. A small nudge will send turn me way too much. I tried playing at Daytona, but I only get about an inch of play in each direction. Even with my steering ratio set at 32:1, I have very little control over the car. My System: Dell Dimension Intel P3-800 mhz Geforce II Act Labs Force RS Wheel Do I need to recalibrate somewhere? E-mail response preferred. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

Well the default setup at Daytona is like that.. try playing around with some of the setup options such as tire pressure, etc.. Also you can change the Linear Steering settings in your Options menu. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:95udok$qb2$[email hidden]...

I already changed it to 100% linear. I'll try altering the tire pressures. Does anyone have a good Daytona setup for N4 yet? Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
Try 70% Linear or something like that.... <[email hidden]> skrev i meddelandet news:95ul3e$1u8$[email hidden]...

The Linear does nothing for me. The car is way to sensitive to wheel movement. That is why I loved the JOYSTICK/KEYBOARD option of N2. The other option was unusable. I switched from my Digital Pro to a Digital Pro 2 and it seems to have helped with N4 a little. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:95udok$qb2$[email hidden]...

Are you basing this on one track or all tracks? The reason I ask is because the default setups that come for Daytona and Dega are VERY Sensitive, but can be tweaked. "Lannie Schafroth" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:95upq8$iss$[email hidden]...

Play with the linearity setting. On my TSW2, I ran my linearity at 60% and get good results. -- Don Burnette D Burnette in N4 <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:95udok$qb2$[email hidden]... > During my first night of play I noticed that my wheel seems way too > sensitive.

I've got the same problem. The ratio is as "slow" as it goes at 32:1. Using the linearity to solve this problem doesn't seem to work real well. Once linearity is adjusted to less than 100%, the center area of the steering arc is less sensitive but then while turning into a corner the sensitivity shoots up at a critical point in the turn. Naturally that causes the car to swap ends...... Maybe there is not going to be a real honest solution to this problem. Obviously, steering using a wheel should be linear from lock to lock. If N4 had a larger available range of ratios, that might solve the problem. It would be nice is someone could figure out how to hack the set up files to allow a different value to be entered.
