GP2 and wheel/joystick: good setup??

What is a good setup for the Thrustmaster GP1 for use in GP2? Steering Lock? Reduce with Speed? etc etc email me

> What is a good setup for the Thrustmaster GP1 for use in GP2? > Steering Lock? Reduce with Speed? etc etc > email me Try these: Steering;Low Sensitivity-85%;Steering help-off;Opposite Lock-off;Max lock-18 degrees;Reduce with speed-65% Accelerator and Brake;Low sensitivity-100%. These are conservative settings and shouldn't take long to get use to. If you have been running with steering help On, you may want to leave Opposite Lock On until you master using no steering help. Also, you can reduce Max lock to 15 or 16 if it is a little touchy but when you get use to it you will want to go to 18 so the car will turn when you want it too. Hope this helps. Paul

> What is a good setup for the Thrustmaster GP1 for use in GP2? > Steering Lock? Reduce with Speed? etc etc Max. lock at 10-12deg (more will cause understeering at high speed corners and increase front tyrewear) reduce with speed about 20 to 30% low sens. zone about %12 (this is a dead zone, use more if you find it hard to stay on the track on thr straights ;) ) brake low sens. zone 0% accel. low sens. zone about 10% Unfortunately, these settings are very personal and depend on your driving style. Although it woks for me and our simracing team. Regards, Tadej Krevh TSW Monkey Grand Prix

Well, these settings are for rookies ;) (except for the opposite lock help) But you should try all the settings you get and decide which one suits you the most. Good controller setup could gain you few hundreds :) Anyway, the controller settings I posted few moments ago, helped me do 1.29.5xx on Suzuka yesterday (unfortunately in quals, else it would be new WR :))) Regards, Tadej Krevh TSW Monkey Grand Prix LFRS (http://www.lfrs.com)

That was one astounding observation, who would be asking such a question about controller setups other than rookies? Hell I thought a super ace was asking for my opinion, I'm crushed! :-)

Haha, well, I posted what kind of settings make you fly ;) But it's better to have 2 setups to choose from then rather just one. My setup may become handy in a month or two, while your's might be better to learn ;) Tadej Krevh
