Re: GP3: Hints and Tips.

What checkbox? How and where do you map the y axis onto x axis?? I don't see anyway to do that -- what am i missing? Richard S Beckett wrote:

I, too have had this problem, sometimes. If you exit and re-start the game, the PO returns to normal levels. I don't know why this is. You can tell when this problem is occurring, as the menus fade really slowly. If the menus are normal speed, the game runs fine. > > FF won't work with the MSFF wheel unless you check the map Y axis onto x axis (?) check box.

It is in the MS SW profile that you must make for GP3, under the settings tab. So not in GP3 itself. Bart Westra "White Hill" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > What checkbox?

Please don't post gripes in this thread, let's keep it informative. <snip> I'll give you the biggest tip for GP3 ..... dont moan about the handling of the car until you put a bit of effort into getting a decent setup. Once you get a decent setup, this game really kicks ass and a steering wheel and pedals also help enormously. Cheers.....Ken
