I dont get how anyone can play this game unless there is something way wrong with my controller. I cant get the car around a corner unless i massively slow down, slower than a stock car. Anytime i turn the wheel more than a few degrees the front wheels seem to lose all bite and i hit the wall. Is it different with any of you?

Go into a testing session and set your wings to 11 front 6 rear. You'll be flat out doing laps @220 with no problem. The default setup uses 3 front/9 rear which is why the car feels like it wants to go straight, even through the doglegs. Also, set the wheel options to 0% across the board if you want linear steering. Jason

Good tips on the wing angles. Hadn't thought to look and see if they were *that* far off. Looks like you can even get away with 10/6 or 9/6 without too much problem. Just anything other than 3... Also found that setting the centering option (whatever it was) down to -2 or -3 made a vast difference in the twitchiness of the car with my Momo. Speaking of twitchy, has it just been so long since I've raced an open wheel oval, or are these cars way too easy to move around the track. Seems that there should be some consequences for near 70degree veering left/right... ;-)

I have the car fairly trimmed out--rear wing all the way back and front wing up a few degrees, and I can easily take the track flatout. You BARELY have to move the steering wheel--go too far and it KILLS your cornering. Also, make an early turn-in and stay in the groove. ----------------------------------------- Dan Belcher Webmaster, http://simcrash.fameflame.dk
