Hey everyone
I was able to get online.
Has anyone checked to see if it is only my Cayman S that does not have Works? It has a symbol w - but after upgrading everything I do not get asked if I want to upgrade to works.
About the settings on G25. When I start a race the wheel does not have the same firm feel before the race starts. In the time attack at Dakota GP and every other race, it is only after the race countdown has ended and you get control of the car that the G25 force effects is activated - before that I can turn the wheel like 90 degrees without any forces active/enabled. Are you getting this too?
Could Khekz and Tcrluca post a screen picture of the Logitech Profiler using the print screen tab? I have read that for the effect to be active in Logitech Profiler all settings needs to be more than 110% - anyone else read that too?
There is a Logitech profiler update 5.7 and this is for 64 bit OS and that I installed the other day, but not sure that made any changes.
I will of course test again when I get back home.
Poul

This is the way I've got my G25 setup: In game: On computer: For me it works like a charm, but that's just me.

Poul The Cayman S doesn't have a Works conversion, look: It says so on the bottom, but that's just an explanation of the symbols. If you look at the car itself, at the Porsche badge, you only see Nitrous. If you look at the Seat, it shows both Nitrous and Works. As for the feedback before the race, I have that too, but in race all is fine.

On the PS3 i dont know if its just me but the more powerful RWD cars steer like shopping carts The BMW at the begining did it really bad and my Challenger does it every now and again aswell, I think i might need to play with my suspension, I Love the damage graphics, and the winscreen shatter, gets annoying though,

Hey poul
i am out of the city at the moment....u got wait a week to get any update from me..... But use everything default in profiler.....Ingame settings r more effective and can give better control....Before i left i started testin a little....found out it was better....
Ingame i changed now
Speed steertin sen 60% Turning lock 50%
This, might help
A quick definition is provided below to help determine what's good to touch or best-left unaltered. Don't forget to use the DEFAULTS option if settings get tweaked too far.
Steering Deadzone - The smaller the value the smaller the deadzone. For steering wheels it is recommended to have this value at 0%. | NOTE: These next few deadzone settings for a gamepad are best-left unaltered.
Accelerator Deadzone - The basic description for all the deadzones are the same. For the initial range of motion no input is reported, and then starts when the end of he deadzone has been reached. On top of these additionl recommendations can be added.
Brake Deadzone - As above - For the initial range of motion no input is reported, and then starts when the end of he deadzone has been reached. On top of these additionl recommendations can be added.
Steering Sensitivity - This setting adjusts how sensitive the steering across the input span. With 50% sensitivity it is equally as sensitive at the beginning of the range as at the end of the range. This can make the steering feel twitchy on a game pad, thus it is recommended to have a lower sensitivy setting which makes the steering a bit less sensitive for small inputs. For a steering wheel it is recommended to have this setting at 50%.
Acceleration Sensitivity - Same as above, a value lower than 50% means the input is less sensitive in the beginning of the input span.
Braking Sensitivity - As defined above. If the default setting is not responsive enough (may well become car & performance specific), it's recommended to make slight adjustments & test.
Speed Steering Sensitivity - This setting reduces the sensitivity of steering at speed. A high value applies maximum effect to make the car stable to drive down straights with a gamepad. Lowering the value will make the car feel sensitive and twitchy at higher speeds. For a multiturn steering wheel it is recommended to set this value to 0%, for other wheels a value around 50% is recommended.
Inverse Shifting - Reverses the default controller shift buttons.
Camera Y Axis - Inverts the R-stick camera movement in game.
Wheel Lock - This determines how much of the available turn to turn lock to use for the steering wheel. On consoles this is set in degrees measured from lock to lock. On PC it is set as a percentage of the steerings wheels available lock. This can be fine tuned to suit the players preference, with less lock giving more sensitive steering, with too much lock the car will feel unresponsive.
FF Strength - Determines the strength of the force feedback effects, 0 means effects are muted, 10 gives the strongest effects.

Hey everyone
I wanna thank you all for giving all that information and in particular Khekz for explaining all these settings you can adjust - very helpful information to us all. I will be back home later today and then I will start testing this.
Poul

Hey all I have been at my sister in Copenhagen and dining at The Erimitage castle where she and her husband lives and looks after the place for the royal danish family. He is a chauffeur for the danish Prince Frederik - not a bad job getting to drive all their awesome cars This is a picture of the castle with some tourists and another one of me standing in front of the dining table if someone was wondering how I look. It was an outstanding dinner in outstanding surroundings. Poul Edited: Not much to do with Shift, I know

Automatic transmission as a driving aid.
I did some online races with my game set to automatic transmission, ABS on, all other assists off as far as I can tell. When I first played the game, I wanted to be careful not to end up flying off the road, so careful and early braking was how I approached all corners.
As I started getting a feel for how hard I could push some of the tier one cars, I played with late braking as a means of pressuring those just ahead of me.
Interesting thing I noticed was that auto transmission became a huge driving assist by giving you engine braking even when you keep the throttle fully open going into a corner. It's quite apparent on long, fast straights going into 2nd gear corners. Throttle is still wide open, but the transmission shifts down two gears and you hear the little throttle blip as the RPMs are relatively low.

Just finished tier 3, invitational events, and master all corners, driver level at 43, 740 stars. They made the career mode too long with all the side quests (badges). Right now I'm just working on getting all stars.

Now done with tier 4, but over a dozen invitational events I haven't done yet. 1046 stars and counting.
