I can't seem to find a setup for my Act Labs wheel that feels right. The number of possible settings is making my head spin, not to mention my Ferrari ;)... Anyone want to share thier core.ini and control panel settings? Don't worry - nobody's GPLRank is at risk. Thanks very much in advance! Kendt Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

You really should take out the spring value (control panel). GPL doesn't use that value to anything and maybe lower the damping, I think... On my Ferrari wheel I have set the force 100% and zeros on else, works great, then again it is a different wheel...

These are mine, taken pretty much as is from GPL Foolishness [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 force_feedback_latency = 0.000005 force_feedback_damping = 093.000000 max_steering_torque = 75.000000 my control panel settings are : overall device gain... 80% - 100% spring gain...... 100% damper gain 100% default spring.............. 0% 'always on' unchecked.. I turned it down from 100% to 80% as my arms where getting tired and wrists a bit sore. I've not really played around with altering the spring and damper gain so they may improve matters, still pretty happy with my setup though, the key is to get the latency right although I feel it does vary depending on whats happening (i.e. slow sharp turn, fast long turn). MaXX PS. Tracks like Mosport and the Ring are good for getting the right feel as they provide a lot of feedback. On Fri, 11 Aug 2000 03:18:51 GMT, [email hidden] wrote:

This is what I'm running with, Core ini. settings [ Joy ] allow_force_feedback = 1 ; Use FF if device has it force_feedback_damping = 80.000000 ; force feedback damping coefficient force_feedback_latency = 0.000000 ; force feedback latency (secs) max_steering_torque = 75.000000 ; steering torque in N*in giving max device force Control panel settings overall device gain 90-100% Spring gain 100% Damper gain 25-35% default spring gain 0% GPL in game settings full linear (slider full left) 13:1 or 14:1 steering ratio Just yesterday I tried to change the damper settings in the gpl core.ini so I could keep the control panel setting at 100%. However I couldn't get the same feel doing that. The forces felt about the same on the track, but when I ran it off the track, I noticed I couldn't feel the bumps and curbs as much. Jim D.
