WOW! I just discovered this newsgroup and there is tons of great stuff here. Anyway, I play a lot of racing titles and often my experience/fun is spoiled by my inability to properly configure the wheel (Logitech Wingman F1 Force Feedback). I can certainly configure the basics under Gaming Devices but when it comes to tweaking more tricky settings such as "Dead Zone" "Sensitivity" or "Saturation Zone", I am not quite sure what they mean? For example, last night I was playing TOCA Race driver and I found that the steeering was TOO responsive: I would turn my wheel left or right and the car seems to react too quicky creating unwanted spins or contacts with other cars. At the end of the day, for most games, I would like to setup the wheel so that it feels like a regular car`s steering wheel but most of the times, the game settings give me a wheel that is too...loose (for a lack of a better way to describe it)... Are there good WEB sites that explain what these advanced settings mean (either generally or for specific games) and how to tweak them to get a better "feel" during gameplay? Andre By the way what is: Life for Speed??? Never heard of this game! Stuff I like to race: GP4 NR2003 Good ol`Viper Racing GT Sports Racing TOCA Race Driver etc...

<grin> Hey Andre, try Grand Prix Legends. I'm sure TOCA will feel pretty darn smooth after that ;) Regards, Rudy
