steering

[Socrates Johnson]

does anyone know how to stop the car from wanting to go to the left on the straights? i have tried everything and cant seem to figure it out. any help is very much appreciated!

NASCAR cars, because of their setups (ie. tyres camber) and because of left-turning tracks, do not go straight when they are straight.

Hi Mudface,

One thing you can try is decreasing the Steering Deadzone (if its not already set to somewhere close to zero). That usually helps.

Marco? Would I like F1?

No Problem, and apologies on misspelling your username. My bad. :)

Difficult to say, but I think F1 2013 is a good game. Again, not a perfect one (well, they really exist?), but very nice to drive with a wheel. Moreover there are lot of mods for that game. Give a look to this site:

So... yes, I think you can like it. But I don't promise it!

Anyway, I think we are a little bit off-topic.

Can I ask what you are using to race? Controller? Wheel? Keyboard?

[Socrates Johnson]

xbox controller and/or DFGT

[TheFifthElement]

Gotcha, thanks!

I personally race with an Xbox 360 Controller. I have my own wheel but its not compatible. I have to get a new wheel though.

Let me see what I can find in terms of your issues with my controller for the time being and I'll reply back with what I find.

[MarcoCav]

I put steering linearity to 0 and steering deadzone to 5, with a very high steering sensivity. For me is OK using a Thrustmaster wheel. Try that.

I was wondering if that's the case, thanks for your reply.
