Microsoft FF Wheel and GPL: Does It Work???

4 posts by 4 people · 06 Apr 1999 - 07 Apr 1999

Mike, you have just made my day!! After reading your post about the MSFF and dual axis pedals I went back to read the instructions, and guess what!!! Previously I was reasonably happy with the wheel and pedal combo, and had read a few misleading postings saying that the MSFF couldn't support dual axis, so I never bothered. But buried in the Profile Editor there is the box to tick. Thanks. One thing I don't like on the wheel is the self centering action, but I think it slows down the 'feel' of slides and spins to much anyway, so keep it turned off.

This is my big handicap to fast times. After 30 years of braking with my right foot, how the hell do I tell my left foot to start doing it ? -- Alan Goss

Ask it nicely? Offer it a bribe? Mike.

Trail braking will give you an extra second (lets say). If you are not within 1 second of the fastest drivers, don't worry about trail-braking. Now just braking with the left foot is different and something I carried over from N1, N2, ICR2 ... It allows you to brake quicker by removing the time it takes to move 1 foot to the brake then back to the gas. Jason.
