Wheel calibration in GPL

Hi, I've been experiencing GPL with an Act-Labs Force RS wheels for a few weeks now. I love the wheel and the strong FFB. There is one thing that bothering me... Evrytime I start GPL, I have to go in the options to calibrate the wheel? Is this normal? Or should GPL keeps the calibration values between each start-ups? BTW, I'm using Win95 and the wheel is connected through the serial port. I haven't play any other games with the wheel yet. Should I expect the same problem with all the games? TIA Frank [email hidden]

I have a logitech ff wheel and also have to recal everytime I play, otherwise my brake pedal travel is halved and if I brake the tires lock up quicker. The problem went away after a fresh install of windows and everything but then it came back without touching anything so I guess it's here to stay unless someone has a reason for it. I've made the file that keeps calibration data read only but it still does it! Vintook "Francois Veillette" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:gAsZ5.8473$[email hidden]...

You could always make the controls.cfg read only in the GPL\Players\PlayerName directory. I have made another player for F2 and F3 and when this sometimes happens I just exit and copy the files. SLG "Vintook" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Did you read my original article??? Can you read the last sentence again???? Now what did you have to say? Why exit and copy files when you can just go into the options and calibrate the wheel again, then you don't have to exit at all.

Ooooooooooooooops been busted for reading the first few lines and spouting off. DAMN there goes my internet reputation . . . For me it is easier to exit and copy the file as I am rather picky about my brake pedal and if it feels the slightest bit different, I have trouble driving just right. To each their own.
