anyone ever lose calibration in the middle of a GPL race?

It seems that in my GPL game, its best if i calibrate once per lap. I judge this because I cannot lock up the tires on braking sometimes. The braking is greatly reduced. I hit F3 and recalibrate and then resume the game. Braking produces locked up tires right away. Anyone have an idea what is going on here? I am using a UltraRacer PC controller. Thanks, Tom

I have the same thing as of late.. I'll calibrate the steering but after a couple laps it gets all screwy. I have never cleaned the steering pot, so, I'll just assume that it does this because the pot is bad(?) I have a home made wheel all set to go. But, I don't want to use it till I get the peddles done. Till then, I'll just run a couple hot laps then just watch everyone else race on GSB. Mike Barlow

Same problem here sometimes with my T2 (direct input) Well, at least now we know we're not alone ;-)) No real prob when off-line but major shit when you're on-line thoughg. Would appreciate a solution if anyone has it!! Jarno > It seems that in my GPL game, its best if i calibrate once per lap.

I never have steering problems, only braking. I can work around it but its such a pain. Steering would suck! best of luck.

hi guys......delete your control.cfg file.....gpl somehow corrupts the file after many hours of usage...why?....i dunno...but all you do is delete the controls file and once you restart the game...recalibrate your wheel and a new controls.cfg file will be created and everything should be fine.....
