It's a flawed design that need to be fixed but won't because EA just fired a ton of their developers because they paid huge sums to Nascar and the NFL for exclusive rights to produce mediocre products. This after they worked them to death. I won't buy another EA product. |

Because there are some people who think it has to be done the way papyrus did it, or it's wrong. They don't bother to do a little exploration before they start complaining. Dave's right, there are far more options, and it's an all around better controller setup system than anything papyrus ever gave us. -- David G Fisher |

As one who has tweaked and tweaked the ISI controller settings without personal success I would take issue with that. Also it relies on the Windows game controller settings rather than having its own calibration routines which hasn't always suited. Finally I did have an unusually complex controller setup at one point (separate wheel, pedals and gear change on separate axes) which only the papy system could cope with. Of course it easy to forget that the linearity slider in GPL and NR series was critical to feel and worked opposite ways or was fairly hidden, so it is not all glory for Papy, but overall the system gets my vote as one that works well on the majority of machines out of the box. All IMHO of course! Cheers Tony |

Should they take GPL back because the sim did not work at all with their hardware unless they had some product hithero unknown to man except for here and the tsw support? Don't some Soundblaster users, to this day, have problems with sound issues, even tho SB is the worlds most common computer sound product. Should they take back GPL, and all the Nx series? ICR2, one of the world's first 3d racing sims, yet to get it to run in 3d, you had to have batch files and file swaps and all sorts of headaches...should they have not bothered with that either? Have not many 'high end' wheel users have had to resort to resoldering the polarity of the their pots? Surely sims should recognize quality wheels? If you don't understand something, fine. But to smack-down something just because it doesn't conform to your concept of perfect means just about everything eventually would fail some criteria. To this day I don't understand the delay settins in Papyrus controller routines, despite many users attempts to explain testing methods via driving over curbs etc. I know also that GTR has some GAWD=Awful copy protection schemes. I haven't paid attention to those discussions, but I know where to look for them when GTR finally gets to Washington State. I don't say ISI's controller routines are better than Papyrus, I do say they function like they are supposed to and do provide more options and possibilities. And I do race in a Papyrus online league...I don't currently compete with ISI stuff. dave henrie |

My response was to DGF's comment about the ISI controller being the best - which it clearly is for him. My point was my own experience was the opposite. Not quite sure where any "smack-down" took place but then as you kindly point out I don't understand anyway... |

[snip] > ISI's two controller limitation can be frustrating. > > Alan > This is exactly why Papy's is 'heads and tails' above ISI. Except ..... I have a momo force on ID1, Shifter on ID2 and BRD Speed7s on ID3 (all usb). With XP, I can find no way of changing the ID # of the latter two. On the F1C and NRS, it therefore means that my pedals are not recognised. With F1C I could get round it by unplugging the shifter and using the momo paddles. On NASCAR sims, I want to use the shifter but this means that I cannot use my pedals in NSR. This is stupid - particularly so as GTR and rFactor allow me to do this. It appears from the demo that little if any development has happened since F1C - we've even got a NASCAR sim without a solid rear axle. As a demo of a piece of 2005 software, it's about as bad as I've seen. However, I'll wait for reviews of the full package, particularly to look at the multiplayer, but I'm not holding my breath.

A very weak effort based on the demo. Ive not seen many demos change much to the full release so Im not holding my breath that this will be any different.

You can have every option in the world but if you still can't get a good
feel out of it then it doesn't matter. I've got dozens of hours on it and I _still_ can't get it right.

The Papy way worked It's not the fact that it's Papy. It's the fact
that they got it (mostly) right. -Larry "David G Fisher" > wrote in message news > > > wrote in message > ... >> On Tue, 01 Feb 2005 21:45:58 -0600, Dave Henrie >> > wrote: >> >> > But...it does work DIFFERENTLY than what you may be used to.

Which is why you and I are scrapping our MS wheels because they are not able
to be configured properly in a papy sim to work well on rc's. MS wheel works just fine in an ISI sim. :-) -- David G Fisher "Larry" > wrote in message news2PMd.54912$jn.26551@lakeread06... > The Papy way worked It's not the fact that it's Papy.
