Dave, Well, Phantom is very easy to use. But dang, ran the Demo fine but the thing whacked out my sound card. Now I can't get it back working. I'm desperately looking of the Live 5.1 drivers (XP), which I think Creative has discontinued. I found them on some obscure Italian site (had to polish up on my Italian) but the link to the file I wanted didn't work. No other sound card drivers will work. This whole thing is starting to unnerve me. Alanb "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:1I059.49499$7n5.8380@sccrnsc01...

No offence :-) btw, I burned he ISO fine with Nero, but the game will not install due to a "corrupt" file. Dunno if I can be bothered again with d'loading it. All the extra's, movie, wallpaper, etc are working.

Codemasters, please improve this !! dunno about your setup, but something must be wrong. the first Race Driver demo has a hell of a lot more realistic handling than toca 2 on my computer. -- Gunnar #31 SUCKS#015 Tupperware MC#002 DoD#0x1B DoDRT#003 DoD:CT#4,8 Kibo�: 2 FJ�SE!
Well, the handling in the first demo was bad, but the handling did not improve at all in the new version. I tweaked the controlsettings (nullzone) but can not get the handling right. If you are driving with slow speeds the car handles totally unrealistic. It is like you are driving in a car which is drunk. It does not react as it should react. When you brake, the car comes to a stop very rapidly, and then when you are driving it slowly through the corner it is very unstable. I do not think it is drivable at all. But i will try it again Remco "Gunnar Horrigmo" <[email hidden]> schreef in bericht news:[email hidden]... > "R.Denessen" <[email hidden]> writes: > > > I hope they will improve the handling because the game is no fun at all.It

I downloaded the 5.1 drivers from Creative about 5 weeks ago. I had to, to fix the GPL sound problem. I then tried to get them again from a friend's house a few weeks later and couldn't find them anywhere. Anyway I have the file, it is just over 9 Meg, it is called SBLiveXPDrvUpdate.exe If you can't find it, email me and I will send it to you or post it here, if I can post a 9 Meg file here.

The steering in this demo is whacked. It wants to go all the way to the left or to the right with very little wheel movement. If you have a large dead zone then it just happens further into your turn. I tried taking out all of the dead zone and the game freaked out! The wheel kept sawing back and forth like it didn't know what to do :/ Unplayable. - David "R.Denessen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aj33fv$k3k$[email hidden]...

The handling in the first demo was pretty good for me. It was poor until I lowered to detail to get respectable fps, then controller input felt direct and responsive. -- Joe Marques "R.Denessen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:aj33fv$k3k$[email hidden]... > Well, the handling in the first demo was bad, but the handling did not > improve at all in the new version. > I tweaked the controlsettings (nullzone) but can not get the handling right. > If you are driving with slow speeds the car handles totally unrealistic. > It is like you are driving in a car which is drunk.
