Need help with F1RS control setup

Hello F1RS fans, I amd running F1RS with the latest patch (v1.09) and also the patch to remove the "dead zone" that DirectX (and Win95) impose on you. I have this now set on 1% instead of 5. Also I'm using the T2 wheel that I've been using for years. The Steering is perfect, but I cannot get the padals to feel progressive and linear. To me they feel very digital (on/off) and I cannot get the linear "feeling" in the pedals in order to drive the car well (I've had the game since December so I had plenty of practice). My wheel is properly calibrated in Windows (I do so frequently) and I get the feeling I'm after in GPL or ICR2 so it is not my controller. I am interested to hear what kind of sensitivity settings for the controller do you have in order to get the progressive/linear" feel that I'm talking about. At the moment I have the throttle at about 85% and the breake at about 90% but that doesn't do the trick for me :-( Any help with this would be greatly appreciated 'cos I love this seem I just don't feel like I can balance the car with the throttle and break. Thanks for your help, David Mocnay

I'm having the exact same problem. I know the T2 is fine because all my other games (both win95/DOS) the pedals are fine. Any hints? -r.a.

Get rid of the DirectX patch and it re-install and all will be fine--for F1RS. Too bad for the other ***games that are so poorly designed they need the patch.

Thanks for the tip, but the DirectX patch improves the steering; I am able to catch slides that I was never before. It's just the throttle that feels non-linear... though this has been the case even before the DirectX patch. It's just that before I wasn't 100% happy with the steering either. Now I am, but bot the padals. I'm hoping someone out there can tell me theys sensitinity settings that work for them. By the way, I have re-installed F1RS or re-built my machine at lest once every 2 moths (yeah... that's 3 times in the last 6 months). I would just like to have the progressiveness, sensitivity and "feeling" of the pedals ithat I have in ICR2. Is that possible... or am I asking too much? Thnaks for your help, David Mocnay
