Re: Another N4 problem-killed GPL

At ovals nascar cars have stager on the rear tyers (the left has a smaler diameter than the right) this makes the car pull left on the striaght, it takes a bit of getting used to but once you do you don't even notice it. At tracks like Daytona the only place you stear is on the straights ;-) Alex "D" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > I downloaded and ran the N4 demo.

This "turn left" deal is a new feature in N4 to mimick real cars. Arc "D" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > I downloaded and ran the N4 demo. First of all no matter how I calibratedmy

I downloaded and ran the N4 demo. First of all no matter how I calibrated my wheel, it would center about 30 degrees left, introducing me to the inside walls repeatedly. Then the scary part.... I went to check my wheel in GPL and it would bomb. I could get through all of the screens up to the point getting on track. Then the program would hang up during the transition to the game screen (I suspect the change of resolution) I went through this about 4 times....then deleted the N4 demo, voila! fixed. whew!....back to gpl. d system: Celeron 466 voodoo2 homebuilt wheel, CH non pro pedals

lol, I'm only guessing here but your wheel is calibrated fine, the drag to the left is the stagger in the car setup. D <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > > I downloaded and ran the N4 demo. First of all no matter how I calibratedmy

Slight correction... You will ALWAYS notice it, but you might get used to it :) Those with non-FF wheels will really be affected by this due to the continuous force-to-center tension springs. -Larry "Geordie Boot Boy" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9063gn$3v8$[email hidden]... > At ovals nascar cars have stager on the rear tyers (the left has a smaler > diameter than the right) this makes the car pull left on the striaght, it > takes a bit of getting used to but once you do you don't even notice it.At
