Hi. Can yu help me with: - Calibrating a wheel? Done in Win95 no worries. Accellerator no probs. But the steering is not analog!!!! - Turning Traction Control off!!! Entering a 2nd gear corner, I floor it - no wheel spin just understeer into the gravel!!!! Ta Matt

>Hi. Can yu help me with: >- Calibrating a wheel? Done in Win95 no worries. Accellerator no probs. >But the steering is not analog!!!! What do you mean? I have a TM T2 wheel/pedals and it is fine. Please describe what you mean about the steering is not analog. It is for me... Didn't you claim to be a real driver or something? Anyway, this is not like GP2 or World Circuit. What I didn't like about those 2 games was that you could easily negotiate corners by going down to a gear and flooring it. You could nover go off in some corners if you were in a low enough gear. This is what gave the impression that GP2 and World Circuit were on rails at times. So... What second gear corner are you talking about? And why do you think you can take it at full throttle? Chances are that you can't do that and simply need to slow down. BTW, aren't you the same person who started 2 threads on F1RS Awful? At least you do appear to give it a decent chance. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

To turn I have to go to full lock, either way -left or right, for he car to turn! Yes. I am. You miss-understand me. In GP2 and in REAL RACE CARS with power, if you give it too much right-foot, the rear lose traction - (wheel spin) and you oversteer. You can't in F1RS. It must have traction control. It's completely unrealistic to have traction control (unless of course it was modelled on 1992/93 !!!!) Either that or it has a fixed rear axle with no differential - full slip or not!! Yea. They were my first impressions of the game and remain so. I've spent the money on the blasted thing, so I'm trying my best to suss it. Not that it should need sussing!!!! Ta Matt

>To turn I have to go to full lock, either way -left or right, for he car to >turn! Something is definitely wrong here. Did you calibrate the controller successfully in Win95 and does it move correctly in the "test" box that is provided in the calibration scheme. Also, you can change the steering sensitivity in the control menu in the game. I have mine set to 100% sensitive. I think if you set it lower, you need more steering input to turn the car. Also play with these settings for gas and brake. Make sure you have all of the aids off. In the menu screen, there is a scroll down button that accesses additional options. The wheels definitely loose traction when adding power. In fact, the major challenge is to go easy enough on the throttle so that the rear wheels don't spin. -- Kevin (Remove the "x-" prefix from my address in order to reply via email)

Any GOOD driver will tell you throttle control is MOST important. Esp Rally Drivers <g>
