Re: NFS:PU - Accelleration

If you're having a problem getting the acceleration you used to have with the keyboard after switching to a pedal or joystick setup, you might try this: When calibrating the acceleration axis, don't push all the way down/forward. It's possible that some software might not quite get those last couple of numbers the joystick/pedal puts out when the sim actually starts. So when you floor it, the sim may not actually be getting full throttle. When using a keyboard, it's easy to tell the program "full throttle when you hit the up arrow!" Just a thought.

Gents, After doing some online racing (and getting my ass handed to me) I'm wondering if others are having problems getting off the mark using a LWFF? I thought the AI was cheating by leaving me on the start like I was standing still, however, was getting the same treatment online with identical cars. 20 seconds into the race and the other cars are out of sight! Do I just suck getting off the line, or are others experiencing the same? Cheers, Rod.

As far as I could tell, you basically got the stock model, no ability to mod it. So the cars were identical. ;( Might try it using Auto and keyboard and see if I get off the line quicker. Cheers, Rod.
