I am having problems steering with the gamepad. Its too sensitive when taking high speed corners, cause one little movement of moving left/right can spin me out. Does anyone have a good setup for the gamepad? -- -Andrew-

ON/OFF. do you drive? as in, do you have a license? if so, imagine driving down the road at 100+mph... now, turn the wheel all the way as far left as it can go, INSTANTLY (i know, you cant cuz it turns several times around, just pretend, or try your hardest), ok, now, decide you've turned just a bit too much and try to correct by turning FULL right lock INSTANTLY, as soon as you hit full lock, return to center INSTANTLY. If you aren't dead yet, congratulations. my point is, cars are not meant to be driven this way, it makes no sense since joysticks are very cheap (i have a $10 kraft stick i use for rudder on some flight sims) and most soundcards have joyports. This goes for keyboard players too. If you're at all serious and even want to begin to have the right to complain about realism in these games, i suggest you get an analog input device to drive with. btw - the above was not a flame, if you think it was, read it again. ------- Carlos Ribas MalSoft http://www.nol.net/~draconis
