Just got GTR

Couple of questions. Loads of sites for GTR stuff, but basically all I want to do is upgrade to latest version/patch. I'm in UK - all the patches seem to be in German? could anyone recommend a site for the patches (in English?) or how to convert them Thanks guys btw I've been playing the Demo for a while and since installing the full game I've got a GTR widow in the house ;-) Clive

It is already patched out of the box AD "Clive" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8hzZd.4623$[email hidden]...

My guess is that he has purchased the English version and due to reading about the German version and the various patches fully expected to have to patch his version as well.In looking for these non existent patches he has come across the German ones.....and thus has posted hoping for the link to the English ones....those that dont exist coz its patched out the box...like i said....of course....i could have read his post totally wrong.....its easy done Steve ;) AD "Steve Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:w2AZd.138039$[email hidden]...

It's the English version. Only just noticed it's patched to 1.3 Thanks anyway guys. Logitech Wingman FF doesn't seem to work too well Clive

One-point-three is the latest ver. Yer LWFF *should* work just fine w. it. What's the prob? "Clive" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:FnFZd.4811$[email hidden]...

VERY sensitive in straight line, unless I turn down the FF amount running XP SP2. Don' have a problem with Framerate (around 37). Clive

I have xpsp2 and have run many isi products with FF and really don't see any slowdown. I can get over 100fps with small fields and average around 60 to 70 with a 36 car SCC mod field.(I'm aware that GTR will impact my system more than that, but again, FF doesn't drag down my system) Mirrors and Huds rob more fps than any FF) Next...there are several things to do to ANY ISI based sim to improve the driving. First, because you have a Logitech product, make sure you are using NEGATIVE FF values. THere should be a checkbox to reverse the slider percentages from positive numbers to negative number. now the whole enchilada. Outside the sim. Logitech Profiler...set the steering axis to near 50%. Slightly lower if you like less twitchy near the midpoint and over 50% if you want a quicker response near the center, but less as you turn the wheel to full lock. Windows Game Controllers...Adjust the FF effects to around 95% to 100% Spring Effect STrength to about the same. as FF. Damper Slider should be very low..0% or 1 or 2% Centering Spring should be set to off or, if checked on, set the percentage to a very low number. Right now I use Centering spring on but only 1%. Now in the program. Set the steering axis, again like the Logitech Profiler, to 50%(adjust to feel) Set the deadzones to ZERO Set Speed Sensitivity to near zero.(this is a damper for high speed smoothness, but setup should fix it.) In your car's setup, you have a steering ratio number. This is the opposite of Papyrus settings. Since about Nascar 4, Papyrus changed the setting so that the smaller the number, the quicker the steering. So for PAPYRUS products, 12 is great for road racing, but near uncontrollable on a Superspeedway, For those situations, you use high numbers to dull the steering. But for ISI stuff(and this includs GTR) you do the opposite. Low percentages produce slow steering and make it difficult to complete sharp turns(like pulling out of your garage.) the ISI F1 sims often defaulted to a value of 22% which was very twitchy at high speeds. I have run as low as 14%, but then I have to make several turns to exit the garage without hitting the outside pitwall. Generally around 16 to 18% works great. For best results, always calibrate your wheel in windows and also in your sim before each new session.(not necessary, but it can't hurt.) dave henrie ------ Washington State Govenor Gregoire, hundreds of dead King County Voters can't be wrong!

Incorrect, Dave. The old LWFF is about the only Logitech wheel that doesn't use negative values for FF in ISI games. It's also the only Logitech wheel which has major frame rate issues in WinXP with FF enabled in ISI games.
