Well, after finally getting RBR to run on my system (which runs every other known racing game and sim right out of the box), I am experiencing a strange issue. I am using the black MOMO wheel which luckily detects and works well in RBR (unlike just about every other controller). I have patch 1.01. I can see the calibration of my wheel and pedals on the controller set-up screen and the wheel and split axis pedals all operate smoothly and exactly as one would expect on that screen. I have adjusted all axes to completely linear operation (thank you SCi for providing decent adjustment capabilities). But, in the game, the throttle reacts much to quickly and sensitively. It reacts as though the first 15% of pedal travel contains all the throttle. Am I missing something (I hope!)?

Rallying only uses foot to the floor techniques ;-) I haven't noticed that, I'll go check.

Marc, did you experiment with the filtering?

What filtering do I need to be 100% linear? I thought I had set everything to that--straight lines, no curves in the graphs. All "curvatures" off. Completely smooth linear reaction in the calibration window. Jerky, almost digital reaction in the game itself. Marc "Pete" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:seX6d.20497$[email hidden]...

It takes a bit of fine tuning to get the wheel and pedals just right. If you want I could send you my profile and start from there. I know before I played with the filtering I was finding it very difficult to get the wheel and pedals right for me.

I can't check at the moment, but when I was messing about with the brake & throttle I found I had to change the "2nd curve" (or whatever it's called) to very curvy indeed before I got a longish throw throttle response I was happy with.

Am I missing something (I hope!)? I had exact same feeling of over sensitivity on brake and throttle. Adjust the Curvature filtering to how you like the throttle and brake to feel. Takes a bit of playing to set it up so your control behaves properly but then its all pure fun racing after that. :)

Pete, Would you be so kind to send me your profile? I am also struggling with the curves to compensate for the sensitivity. And as of yet I do not feel a difference of anything I do cause I really suck at this game :) Can't drive for more then 1 min before wrecking the car and certainly can't take the corners at the gears that are given by the co-driver :( I do however have almost finished the school with all gold stars Greetings and read you later! * Live never to be ashamed if anything you Arjan "Sharkey" * do or say is published around the world- [email hidden] * even if what is published is not true.* bom=com :) Richard Bach; Illusions
Why would any fiddling be required when it shows and allows one to adjust it to 100% linear (which is what I want)? Marc "Andrew MacPherson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
