I would just like to know what kind of wheels you guys are using? I under no circumstance can keep the back end from coming around in turn 1, only in qual setup. In race setup it is totally different, I feel loose more out of turns rather than in. Which i have no problem with. I am rather new to this site, not the game. I am using a (nascar pro force feedback from thrustmaster). I am seriously wanting to upgrade to a tsw. I was just curious what you were using?Thanks again for this awesome setups

I have been using a microsoft sff for about 2 1/2 years now with almost no trouble at all. It is THE best wheel under 150$ that you can get. Infact its only 90$ lol.

That sucks.... The only thing I would like to change on mine are the pedals. Could someone email with any pedals that would work with my wheel? Thanks.

Mines a red MOMO, I don't have any probs yet (knock on wood) started with a sidewinder.


VH, What is your steering latency set at? I can't hold the line at LOWES. (I know wrong thread) Watched the 5 lap replay over & over and I cannot get the car to come down to the bottom in T1 before accellerating into T2...don't have any probs with T3 or T4, it seems to hook up pretty nice. Although I'm not to happy about the push in T4 after about 5 laps and don't say I'm pushing it to hard. My best lap is a 29.313 but I average about 29.5's and 6's.

Latency? You mean linearity, don't you? Linearity is set to 100%, but that doesn't play a role I think. Just make sure that you lift early and quickly enough entering turn 1, that will bring the car down. And don't get back on the throttle too early in T3/4, that's usually the reason for the push out of turn 4.

"MY BAD" I do feel a difference between 75% and 100% Linearity. I was running 45% for so long that when I found out it was set at 45% and change it to 100% I felt like I had more control or "feel". Thanks for the tips!

I run 20% linearity with the FFB disabled on my Momo wheel (black) lol

guess it's only a matter of personal feel.

I'm probably going to increase camber to +7 / -7, but I don't know yet if I'm going to change anything else.

Have you tried the good old 6/-2 caster settings here? I seem to get around better with that but have not changed the camber from 7/-3.5 as there already is a 20 deg spread on the RF. With a -7 on the RF I would guess you would see a 30+ deg spread. Seems like that would just melt the tire.

I started to practice today and could run no better than a .5 but kept at it not really trying to go fast but working on my line. After turning 500 laps got VH's set down to a .425 but another in the practice session ran a .349. My lap that was that fast was wild a@@ out of control and I dont think tires would last long at that speed. Drive and work on consistant times, theyll beat one or two fast laps every time.

Not for me...at Richmond, I have the impression that the car becomes hardly controllable with it. It doesn't get loose, but you never know how quickly it will follow steering input.

I don't think so...you're using short track chassis at Richmond, and with ST chassis, you can use max. camber without harming the tires, even at a tire killer like Indy.

When will the truth be revealed? stay tuned for the next time LxMartini shits out of his mouth.

Thanks for the responses. I will practice some more with the camber settings as I see your point about the ST chassis, but I'm sold on the the 6/-2 caster setting. Thanks again!

not sure how it would affect the tires though on the race set, so far i only ran it on qual set for a few laps and went faster.
