F1RS & T2

4 posts by 3 people · 02 Jan 1998 - 06 Jan 1998

Hello, I have bought F1RS from UbiSoft and T2 from Thrustmaster. I have calibrated the T2 in Win95 and It works OK. When I run F1RS the car jumps around or pull to the left... What can I do to fix this ? I have tried playing with the settings regarding sensibility My T2 is connected directly to my SB16.. should I need an other game card ? Thank's -- *************************************************************** ** ** ** "And then it all comes back and I remember all of them ** ** all we've been through and had forgotten, all the vales ** ** of Maya, false worlds, false gods, false highs ..." ** ** ** ** -> Rogan Gosh Star of the east <- ** ***************************************************************

Salut I had exactly the same problem with a Virtual Pilot Pro calibrated in win95 Calibration and tests in win95, steering is smooth and regular. Once in the sim, even playing with sensitivity settings at length, the car is hardly driveable. The steering is not regular. It is as though you have about twenty degrees steering on the left, and ten on the right. Even at slow speeds, there are some right hand corners the car won't take, it is just not steering enough. I tried everything I could think of, to no avail. Did you download the patch ( 1.05 ) from ubi's site ?. Before I did, the sim did not recognize the brake pedal at all. The patch cured this but not the steering problems. Also the two Lesmo curves at Monza are totally wrong, you actually have to take the second right hander slower than the first, and that's not the way these curves are at all. They are correct in GP2, but that is another story. Anyway, I received it as a Christmas present, but finally took it back today ( at Club Price ), after I tried the sim on the Monaco track, and couldn't take most of the righthanders because of understeering. Maybe we need a different game card, or something to stabilize the steering, I don't know, but I felt I had spent enough time with it that I knew the problems were severe. Good luck anyways, and let me know if you can correct your problems A la prochaine Guy Brosseau LAPLACE Jean-Baptiste a crit dans le message ...

I have a T2 also and it works fine. The one thing I can think of that might have helped was my downloading of the thrust master pro panel. TOCA was doing what you described and it worked fine after pro panel. I am not sure if that did it, but it can't hurt (at least I don't think it can) :-)

Hi Marc I downloaded a small file from CH Product. It added the virtual pilot pro in the list of available game controllers in win95. I used this to calibrate the wheel, but it did not help What I would need is another utility, I read somewhere that Microsoft has something like this, that would allow me to adjust the sensibility of the wheel. Maybe this would work, but it still was odd that the left and right steering were so different, enough to make the game unplayable. My experience with this wheel and sims is mostly with NFS, ICR2, N2, and GP2 Allways in DOS. It works well. Only in GP2, at first, I was running allways with steering help on, it had this on rail feeling sometimes, and it didn't matter what the steering lock was set at, it kept turning with the same radius. Eventually I turned the help off, it was a *** to keep the car on the road ( that was why I had used the help in the first few months ), but at least I was improving and I could feel that the car was responding true, even if it was very tough. No such feeling with F1RS. It really is too bad. I was looking forward to playing this sim, I was even considering getting a 3DFX card, or wait for the new version of the card. You guys seem to think well of this sim, a lot of good reviews, but I just could not keep this thing on the road. It has allways amazed me that the steering could be so easy to set in ICR2, and N2, and so tough in GP2. I mean in N2, you can put the car where you want on the track. It doesn't jerk around. Maybe I'll try to get my hands on a US version of F1RS, and see if the situation is different >I have a T2 also and it works fine.
