I'm playing Viper Racing 1.1 with a Logitech Wingman Formula Force. I've been doing some quick races with the default setups. The slightest pressure on the brake pedal starts the tail wagging. If I don't let up, the car will spin. The default brake bias is 65% front. Changing it to 70% helps, but that seems awfully high. I don't have much experience tweaking car setups (neither in sims nor in Real Life). Should I be playing with other settings to make the car more comfortable? --Jon
Haven't played Viper for a while but there are still probably some good sites with downloadable setups. Do a search of Viper and I'm sure you'll come up with some. -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C.

I think I had the same problem... Somehow I had the brakes linked to reverse gear ?. If thats it the car will select reverse gear as soon as you touch the brakes !

Do you have ABS on? I have found that without it, the slightest touch of the brakes and wheels lock up. I then put it on and, hey presto, the car stops on a pin! If anything, this will improve lap times not harm them. BTW: Real vipers have ABS as standard so it won't effect your simulation.
