F1RS - Monaco Steering Problems

Has anyone experienced problems going round the Mirabeau (the section just before the tunnel)? I'm using CH Flightstick PRO and pedals which are fine on every other circuit. I've set steering angle to max 25, but still can't get round without hitting the wall! Any ideas? Iain

Iain Mackenzie heeft geschreven in bericht You must take this the following: Go down to Loews coming gear 1-2-1 almost standstill, corner Loews, get down to the corner in 1/2 take the corner in 1 and accelerate down the tunnel. You can't take the corner before the tunnel faster than gear 1 or low 2. "On 5 August 1944 in the vicinity of St. Sever Calvados, France, witnessed a German Mark V Panther tank knock out three M4 and three M5 tanks during and after being hit by at least fif*** rounds of 75mm APC from a distance of approximately 700 yards. All of these shells had ricochetted, with the exception of a six***th round which finally put the Mark V Panther out of action." Sgt. Thomas P. Welborn, Germany's Panther tank, the quest for combat superiority by Thomas L. Jentz [link lost in import] [link lost in import]

Iain, I drive with a GP1 wheel and while you do have to go slow the car will certainly turn. There is one thing I can think of to try. I know the stick uses a wide deadband at center so the car (or aircraft) wont be all the place at center. Have you tried to short-calibrate the stick? In other words don't move the stick all the way to the right and left in Win95 calibration routine. It may work, it may not, easy to try. Best of luck, all the best, Mike Davis -- Michael S.

Thanks Mike, it worked! I short calibrated, and now I can turn in! Thanks a lot.

Is it the steering lock? or are you getting lots of understeer? If it's understeer you want to increase front grip, and/or reduce rear grip, by adjusting any or all of the following..... Front and rear wings (increase front/decrease rear) Springs (increase front/decrease rear) Brake balance (increase rear bias) Also check that you are not simply driving too fast? and that your Flightstick is calibrated properly? 8-) * Peter * 8-) Please remove asterix from address to email.
