Problem with my wheel

TitanicG · Post by **TitanicG** » 26 May 2005, 05:15

Hi all. Wondering if theres a fix for this; my wheel has a HUGE deadspot right in the middle, so that in order to turn the car I have to crank the wheel all the way in order to make the car turn, while jabbing the brakes to get the rear to slide around. Is there a way to change the deadzone in the controller? Thanks

p.s. I just got the game today, so maybe I just haven't played around with it enough to have found it.

Well i dont know. You got any ideas?

Probably adjusting the sensitivity would work, if there is any...

O well. Try it dude.

Go into control panel and click on gamepads/controllers. Find the racing wheel. Configure it using the configure button...

If this doesn't work, do it manually and increase sensitivity

thanks, but it isn't a prob with my wheel. I play 7 or 8 racing games regularly, including NFSU (the first one) and don't have this problem in any other game. I had a thought today about maybe lowering the LOD's, because maybe there's a delay in the signal because of my cpu, but I don't know that this would be a prob, since I'm running an XP 3200+ with a FX5900 vid card. But gonna try it and see. I was hoping there would be something in the config file or something where I could play with the numbers. But I don't see anywhere that I can adjust the steering sensitivity inside the game, which you would think would be a standard thing

OK, I figured out the problem; Rachel's car just SUX!!!! I've been playing around with my own car, and have almost all the first level performance upgrades, which means I have been able to set my car up the way I like it, and it handles like a dream. No deadzone at all, although it does feel a bit different than the first NFSU, like it takes a bit to respond, more like a real car than the first one. Just took a bit of getting used to is all, but now I'm driving the way I did with the first one. Thanks for the responses though

what company is the controller Wheel? Logitech? If there was any drivers with it, there should be an application for adjusting the sensitivity and dead zone for indivual programs and games.

It's a Thrustmaster Ferrari FF wheel. It did have a utility that allowed you to do the individual games setups, but it only worked with the first set of drivers, and there have been a couple sets since then. If you try to use it now it messes everything up.

Its probably not suitable for NFSU2

Maybe he needs a wheel with a little more rice. Try buying the Thrustmaster Acura RX wheel...

As I said, it works fine now, just had to use a different car, one that handles decently.

If i was a moderator, I would lock this up right away. Or at least put your acout on a suspension till your down to 3 posts a day.

I suggest you start using AIM or MSN or learn how to use the Private Messanger.

if I can get bintex to work I'll be doing some vinyls, not too sure about cars though. If the vinyls work how I think they will I'll probably do some real liveries of cars from race series around the world.

BinTex will only work fully on NFSU1,

There are some files that open up with NFSU2, e.g. custom HUD pack

AH, ok, that explains it then. I thought it was for both nfsu games.
