VROC Settings Question....

Sometimes when racing VROC online, I find that my wheel feels very different from its feel when racing offline. I double-check checked that I'm running the car set-up that I want to run, but the "feel" is different. So, the only explanantion I can come up with is that something is wrong within my VROC settings. When joining a race in VROC -- and you're presented with the pop-up with 5 tabs asking you for a password, etc -- under the Force Feedback tab, should I or should I NOT have the "Override Force Feedback Settings" box checked? If the answer is YES, I assume that I need to have the values for Latency, Damping, and Max Torque match what's in my core.ini file, right? (Assuming that I want the wheel's "feel" to match it's feel when running offline......) Thanks, Bert

I think you need to have the profile enabled (or a copy of it) for GPLlauncher.exe. HTH All the best, Ash http://www.siroccoracing.com

If it's a Logitech wheel, like mine, it's important that you don't click on some other application during the load of GPL. If GPL looses focus, the profiler unloads the profile for the wheel, giving you default settings instead. The same thing sometimes occur when a popup pops up, or when windows mediaplayer in "toolbar mode" displays the songtitle for an example. :-)

Are you referring to a profile in the Logitech profiler? If so, Yes I do. Although I've never gotten it to work with GPLLaunch. I point it at WinVROC.exe. For some reason, I can't get it to "keep" when editing the profile....... Ashley McConnell wrote:

I have only a profile pointing to GPL.exe Works fine.

Here's a possible work-around, but it may be inconvenient for you: Make a profile for GPL, make it active, then enable the option for "Apply Persistent Profile". That way that one profile is active at all times. Of course, if you change games, you'll have to go back there and change the profile to the game you are about to play manually.
