RAC Rally Championship Standard Joystick Question

1 post by 1 person · 09 Apr 1997 - 09 Apr 1997

Does anyone else using RAC Rally Championship with a standard joystick, using the set-up that allows for acceleration by pushing the joystick up and braking by pulling the joystick down (steering being left and right of course), have almost no variability in the acceleration and braking? The steering works perfectly, the calibration shows that it is working perfectly, but I get all of the acceleration and braking occurring in the first 10 degrees of joystick movement away from the centre position. Bottom-line: You can only slam on the brakes or gas with almost no ability for a refined action, particularly since you are also using the joystick to steer. I have a standard Gravis analogue joystick that works as it is intended to under NFS, GP2, etc. If you are not sure whether you are experiencing this problem there is an easy way to test it: put the car in neutral and then check how for forward you have to move the joystick before you red-line the engine. I would really appreciate a few responses as to others' experiences so that I can try to pin-down whether there is something wrong with my set-up (unlikely) or if this "flaw" is programmed into the game (either consistently or just for certain controllers). Thanks. Please feel free to e-mail me directly if you please. -- **************************************************************************** Marc Collins digital economies http://www.interlog.com/~digecon ****************************************************************************
