SCGT HELP

hi all Just bought SCGT, ***y good I say!! Anyway, i've beeen trying to set the controller properly, but even if I set the controller sensitivity right down, I can still get around the hairpins using about 10 degrees of steering lock. If i turn any more, the car understeers straight off. If I increase the deadzone, it just doesn't steer until I turn about 30 degrees. This makes it rather weird and unrealistic. Any help? I wish you could adjust the steering lock in the garage like Papy sims, that would cure it..... Cheers

No offense, but try slowing down for the turns. If you are understeering, then you are going to fast for your given setup. For reference, I have the deadzone slider all the way to the left. The sensitivity is set at about 1/3 from the left, and the speed sensitivity is also set at about 1/3 from the left. 10 degrees of wheel angle for the hairpins sounds a little off to me. I can only assume the controller is calibrated correctly in windows?? Hope yo figure it out. SCGT is awesome. Steve

Try putting deadzone to full left and sensitivity to the full right (that's where I have it and it's ok for me). -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Adam Zerlin GT Insider Webmaster www.gtinsider.com ------------------------------------------------------------ GT International Championship Organsier http;//spcargt.sports-***.com ------------------------------------------------------------ >On Sun, 25 Jul 1999 20:56:53 +0100, "Andy Marson" >>hi all >>Just bought SCGT, ***y good I say!! >>Anyway, i've beeen trying to set the controller properly, but even if I set >>the controller sensitivity right down, I can still get around the hairpins >>using about 10 degrees of steering lock.

I've tried everything but I can get the lock I need to get around hairpins by moving the wheel about 15 degrees. This makes the game very fiddly. If I turn the wheel all the way, the car turns around 180 degrees in about half the width of the track! I've tried increasing the deadzone so I have to turn more, but that means I have to turn a lot to make small direction changes on the striaght. I've got speed sensitivity to zero. I have an F1 SIM wheel and its fine in other games. Seems very strange. In GPL you can adjust the steering setup brilliantly, in SCGT its a bit wierd. You should be able to alter the cars steering ratio or lock, its set very high in the game. > Try putting deadzone to full left and sensitivity to the full right (that's

I can take the very last corner of Road Atlanta at full thottle by cutting the corner. There is a little strip of green grass and the wheels on the grass and the pavement grip enough to not slow down at all. However, later in the race when the tires wear down, I have to start slowing down for it. -Tim > I've tried everything but I can get the lock I need to get around hairpins > by moving the wheel about 15 degrees.

Well its actually faster to keep two tires on the track and two on the curb. Also I find even with slick grass its tends to really want to over rotate the car in the turn.

Well it is catchable, Ihave had some really lurid slides trying to get inside guys thru there. You end up just hoping the guy is still ahead of you instead of beside you when you end up on the curbs at start finish.

Hi Andy, I have a T2 and set the deadzone to 0 (full left). To adjust the sensitivity set it to full right then go into practice mode at a track and move to the swing-cam view (V or C). Then press INS,HOME,PGUP,DELETE, END,PGDN to move the camera until you get a good view of the front tires -- zoom in close. Now slowly turn the wheel to the left. If the tires on the car stop turning by the time you hit full lock on the wheel, turn your sensitivity down 1 notch and try again. Turn the wheel to the right to check as well. My controller is perfect at 3 notches from the right. I figure if the tires on the car match your controller linearly then you have total control of when you turn too much. Furthermore, be sure not to set the "adjust with speed" bar too high. You will not have enough steering lock at high speed to catch those *** slides if you set it .... say above 75%. Mine is, I think, 60% and I've caught some major slides coming into the last corner at Road Altanta going 150mph :-D Just try to set it as low as possible without making the car weave on high-speed straights. Jason.
