SCGT How do I remove dead zone completely?

Hi, Can someone help me out? I can reduce the dead zone but I cant seem remove it completely. I found a little program that removes deadzones in windows but my computer or MSFF wheel dont seem to like it. Im using windows98. This is quiet a good sim(porsche's are a *** to drive) but I cant stand dead zones on my wheel!! It sucks so much it puts me of the game completely! :( why cant all drive sims be as good as GPL? Thanks for any help. -- Gadget???. http://www.i-r-gadget.freeserve.co.uk UIN 862812 Please remove the "NOWT" from email if replying. soz bout tha speeling.

Did you find the control section in SCGT? From the main menu goto OPTIONS. Put the mouse a the bottom of the screen to pop up the other menu. Choose OPTIONS. Now choose the controller tab from the top. Slide the deadzone to the left. Isn't that easy? Sheesh.. why didn't they just keep the menu buttons on the bottom showing? I find the steering is ok -- no dead zone with the 1.2 patch and Advanced options program set to pure Sim mode. Jason.

The 1.2 "Patch", is not a patch - it is a very good fan created update that puts in the names of real drivers, and adds better (for the most part) sounds. An official patch hasn't been released by either ISI or EA yet, though the "Friends of ISI" seem to've been very very busy...

Im using windows98. Go to www.wingmanteam.com, Logitech's unofficial support site, and download their nifty DXtweak utility. It reads directinput's settings and allows you to modify the parameters for each axis of your controller, such as deadzone, center point, end values, etc. Be sure to read the instructons first, but this is the best such program I've run across yet.

Blankenship) dribbled the following: Yes! Thanks, it works great. :) But I think you have to revert back to 5 if you play MGPRS2 as the sensitivity is reduce.....or is it because im getting too used to one sim and find the other undrivable. eg. GPL :) Thanks again. -- Gadget???. http://www.i-r-gadget.freeserve.co.uk UIN 862812 Please remove the "NOWT" from email if replying. soz bout tha speeling.

Hi Gadget, Well to be a little more specific. Move the deadzone slider full left. Move the sensitivity slider full right. I have the "adjust with speed" slider full right in case that makes a difference. I tried moving the sensitivity slider a tad from the right and the wheel acted like having a deadzone -- kinda like how the demo drove. Jason.

gadget.freeserve.co.uk says... I'm also using the MSFF wheel with SCGT and there's practically no deadzone at all if I don't wish there to be. Are you sure you're not accidentally using some preset profile which has DeadZone set to something other than minimum. Take a look at the MS SideWinder Profile Activator. Each profile has the "DeadZone", "Pedal Range of Motion", and "Pedal Separate/Combine as Y" settings in addition to the standard programmable actions. --- Antti Markus Peteri 15 miles. your dim light shines from so far away - Soul Asylum, Promises Broken

(Antti Markus Peteri) dribbled the following: Yes Im sure about the right profile. It okay now, its gone, Im happy, no DeadZone, non at all. -- Gadget???. http://www.i-r-gadget.freeserve.co.uk UIN 862812 Please remove the "NOWT" from email if replying. soz bout tha speeling.
