GP500 Control Help

Hi All, I've just DLed the GP500 demo & love it! I am having a tuff time with control & was wondering what you folks are using for control settings? I am using a J Stick. What is the best starting point for dead zone & sensitivity? Also as far as braking goes are you folks using 1 j stick button for both front & back brakes<linked>? Last but not least under difficulty settings what is best for lean? What is.... Lean : Man A/B, Man L/R, Man Full & Auto? Thanks for any help given. This is by far the best MC Sim I have tried.

Thanks Eric, I'll give that a try. How about the lean settings under difficulty? I have been having best results with either Full Man or L R Man. Thanks again btw I remember you had one of the best GP2 sites. I cut my teeth with your excellent set-ups. Mike

Mike, i use a steering here, what you want to do is put deadzone to 0, then play with sensitivity, on my machine i like +20% sensitivity Cheers, Eric http://www.simracingmag.com

I use a actlabs eaglemax flight stick. accel - flipper up breaking (front and back) - flipper down left - left rigth - right gear up - b1 gear down - b4 look back - b2 or is it b3? dead zone - 2 sensitivity - (minus 2 notches, whatever that equils.) Thats about all i can say i guess. and manual lean means you have to move the guys body while your turning the bike. I heard its really tough, and some ppl use it. DjFIL

Are you actually using a joystick to play this game. I find that with my joystick I have so many buttons to remember to press that I'm all fingers and thumbs. -- Peter Ives

Yes Im using a J stick but I use the space bar on my K board for brakes. Mike Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Share what you know. Learn what you don't.

Oops!! Just discover that there's an option for AUTO lean. I had it set to MANUAL. Still can't keep the bike on the track though. :-( I must have started nearly 100 races - don't bother with practice and qualifying - and I've only managed to finish once without falling off. Can't say its 'coz I'm going fast either: best of 1:55. I just can't seem to get the bike on the right part of the track. By the time I'm out of a lean I'm completely off the normal line. In fact something seems a bit odd. For instance, going into the last chicane, the one before the 180 hairpin that leads back onto the start/finish straight, during the first part when I lean left I often find that I run too wide so that I'm about to go off the track on the right. However, if I start leaning the bike to the right without even slowing up, it takes the bike's wheels well away from the side of the track and I am able to take the second part, of the chicane, the righthander, without any problem. Surely I should end up in the dirt? -- Peter Ives
