help with Microsoft SideWinder Precision Racing Weel

i have just but Microsoft SideWinder Precision Racing Weel witch is the best setting in GP4 for the racing weel

I have the MicroSoft Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel.

If that is similar enough, I can tell you what I have. It really depends on what YOU want. Do you want the wheel to self center ? How much FF action do you want ? Do you need the brake and the throttle on separate axis ? How much "low sensitivity zone" do you want ? What about max lock ?

CHEERS.

For the wheel, make sure the max lock is set to 20°.

Its a good idea to open this thread.

I use the ms ffb wheel (usb) and can drive very fine with it.

But i have a problem - most time if i brake my front tyres are blocking. Its not a question of braking ballance its a question about wheel settings.

So please - post your gp4 settings in here.

And: How did you make to use 2 axis for brake and accelerate. Even if i tried this cursor in menu are jumpin around. But joystick using is deactivated in gp4 menu.

So tell me how you did this plz. Thanks.

CDN_Merlin:

with my wheel the max lock is 16 degrees. if i put it anymore, it bears no correlation with the wheel on the screen and it is confusing when trying to piece a lap together if u are second guessing each corner.

with 16, i can take lowes hairpin at monaco reasonably well (as fast as the other cars) so i cant complain.

Thats funny...i also use 16degrees max lock.Have tried it at 20degs but suffer the same problem....doesnt show same as on-screen..

CHEERS.

I have the Sidewinder racing wheel without FF and friend Morbid helped me with setting mine up.

I can send you my .CON file if you wish, but you must make sure you have the Sidewinder software installed and configured for brake/accelerate on separate axis.

Also, calibrate it in there before calibrating in game

I know this thread is a bit old but any chance of e-mailing me the settings too?
