Since I've been getting kinda bored lately, I decided to try the other cars in GPL aside from my little Brabham.... AND EVERY FRIGGIN ONE (from the Lotus to the BRM) PULLS HARD LEFT!!!!!!!!!! What the heck is wrong? I've recalibrated my wheel a billion times, and my Brabham is perfectly fine...and no I didn't hit anything yet, I don't even have damage on :P -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time I write everything down except what's on my mind 'Cause my greatest fear is the sucking sound And then I know I'll never get back out" -'Narcolepsy', Third Eye Blind

That happened to me once. I think I was in a Brabham originally, too. After rebooting, the problem was cured. Jonathan Bishop remove "nospam" to reply

You've just become used to the Brabham's superior characteristics. Ben

Do you mean steers hard left, or is it the torque effect from the differential? If it steers hard left I can't help. But if it is the torque effect, be smoother with the right foot. Grand Prix, or any high performance car without traction control and rear wheel drive will do it to some extent, and maybe the effect was masked in the Brabham with it having such a smooth power curve.

Well, I managed to make the Eagle drive straight after rebooting...havent tried any others, 'cause with some tweaked Red Candy, that thing is awesome!!! (Consistent 1.08's at the glen, where my best is a lone 1.07.77) Guess there's no cure but just to drive the eagle (and what the heck's wrong with that? :D -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "I read dead Russian authors volumes at a time I write everything down except what's on my mind 'Cause my greatest fear is the sucking sound And then I know I'll never get back out" -'Narcolepsy', Third Eye Blind > Do you mean steers hard left, or is it the torque effect from the > differential?

Well, I went to do a race today at the Glen... I checked the garage settings... I realized I had been doing 1.08s - not with the tweaked Red Candy, but with the DEFAULT setup!! Loaded the correct setup and ripped off a 1.07.75, 1.07.00, 1.06.83 (!), and 1.06.60 (!!).
