NFS:PU FF tips

So I broke down and picked up this game today (F1 2000 was no where in sight) and at first play it seems a little arcadey - especially the force feedback. I'm really spoiled by GPL and did not realize how much I depend on this extra information. The default setup is ridiculous and the instructions for tweaking it are non-existent but I think I figured it out. Here are my settings. I use a Logitech FF Wheel, btw. Stick Volume - 80 ;this seems to control overall effects Road Effects - 30 ;this is for the shake you get when cross a wooden bridge, etc. Collision - 100 ; self-explanatory Engine - 0 ; this is to feel the engine vibrating - mimics shot wheel bearings and out of balance tires extremely well, but worthless for this game. Road Grip - 100 ;this is the important one - steering feel With these settings, suddenly the game isn't too arcadey anymore and much more satisfying so far. Why EA couldn't just include some defaults for Sim and Arcade is beyond me. Race On J

I just tried out your settings, Very nice! I couldn't feel the movement of the car over that constant rumbling of the wheel in the default setting, now I can feel the car moving about on it's suspension much better.

Thanks for the tip, I was trying the demo and the constant rumble that I thought was from the road I guess was from the engine FF setting. Now It feels smooth and much better. Lutrell James Harmon wrote in message ...
