Hello, I've been trying to pracitice with the Brabham at Nurburgring, and while using the "default" car setup, and auto-shift, the car refuses to engage into 5th gear. Anyone else see this? It happens only while using auto-shift. Other tracks/setups/custom-setups work fine, but I want to use the default setup for a while at Nurburgring. Anyone know what I can change (some minute adjustment to the default file; then save it) so 5th gear will work? Also, the Ferrari will sometimes tend to pull hard to the left, for some unknown reason (calibration gets messed up). I have to use Direct-Input as "Generic" does not work. I'm using OSR2 W95 and DX5, and a CH-III gamecard. Any idea why the Ferrari only?

It "seems" that the default setup for Nurburgring has an improper transimission ratio setting. The default 5th gear is set to 25/24 (25 over 24). Setting to 24/24 (1 to 1) did the trick. Nice that GPL "remembers" the last setup, so it doesn't have to be reset each time.

(If shift-R doesn't correct it, or it does this from the pits onward, then this probably isn't your problem!). I had a similar problem though; and I thought it was my calibration... In my case, I had given the car a slight knock into the wall (or something). This had been enough to damage the suspension, and the car pulled to one side. This may be your problem? Pete Tabram
