RC2000 & steering sensitivity

1 post by 1 person · 15 Dec 1999 - 15 Dec 1999

I know this topic has been discussed already but, I don't know if the following already has been discussed... sorry for bringing it up again if is has been. First I would like to say that I'm enjoying Rally Championship immensely! But, like many others, I've had some major problems with the steering sensitivity. I found out now, that the steering sensitivity is directly related with how far the wheels actually turn (I don't know if others are/were already aware of this). To test this is simple: just select a time trial rally and once you get the setup screen, put the sensitivity slider full to the left. The wheels won't turn very much, it's just enough to go around corners. But when you are put in the wrong way (i.e. after hitting something etc.), you just won't be able to very easily get the car in the right direction again. The outside views show this too, the wheels don't turn very far. Now do the same but put the sensitivity-slider in the setup screen full to the right. Now the wheels will turn fully! Just test a bit and check the outside views, major difference!!..... just try to make a 360 on the spot! What needs be fixed is the relation between the joystick/wheel deflection and how far the wheels turn. FYI, I'm using a Thrustmaster Force GT and, after calibrating it with full (!) deflection (using the Thrustmaster Propanel for calibration), I'm able to use full sensitivity now. But with a joystick, the deflection of the joystick is just way to little to be able to use full sensitivity.... and thus less steering. Gert
