Slow Racecar! T2?? Help

6 posts by 6 people · 01 Oct 1997 - 05 Oct 1997

Hi Ya'll I've had this problem before but, can't remember how to fix it. I can't seem to get any speed out of my car, the fastest I can go at Talledega is 185. It also seems sluggish on the low end, too. Using a T2 Anyone have this??? Thanx Larry

What gear ratio are you using in fourth gear? Rear spoiler angle? Tire pressure? 3.40, 40, 60 respectively. -/- WW

Recalibrate your joystick, and don't quite push all the way down on the gas while calibrating. This will prevent a little drift from preventing you from applying 100% throttle. ---Jim

Alt-B toggles it while you are driving. Calibration: If you calibrate the throttle to it's fullest extent any "noise" during calibration can cause the 100% measure to be beyond that which you can normally achieve. This means while you feel like you have the throttle at 100%, the game is thinking something like 95% or so. Go back to calibration and only press the gas to about 90% of the best value you can comfortably reach. This will cause a "dead" zone above that position but the whole zone will be considered 100% throttle. Experiment until it feels comfortable. mykey
% Hi Ya'll % I've had this problem before but, can't remember how to fix it. I % can't seem to get any speed out of my car, the fastest I can go at % Talledega is 185. % It also seems sluggish on the low end, too. Using a T2 Make sure that you didn't turn on the auto-brake or steering help. Either of these will rob you of speed. Also re-calibrate your pedals. If necessary, only push the throttle down about 90%. As a last resort, get some "tuner" or switch cleaner and clean the pots on the pedals. -- **************************** Michael E.

Hi Larry, Try recalibrating your T2 but not moving the acceleration/brakes axis to their limits - say try moving them to about 3/4 of their limit and then see how you go. For a full explanation of this kind of problem see http://www.powerup.com.au/~philmak/GP2MAN/GP2MAN/fulthrot.htm Talks about a different sim ( gp2 ) but same kind of possible cause to your problem.
