Hi Guys,

I now have a sidewinder (complete with 1 year guarantee), if it is good enough for H...

Unfortunately I can't seem to calibrate the steering for GPL.  On the calib screen the arrow goes right, then moves but stays to the right side when steering left.  Pedals seem fine.  When trying to assign the steering controls, GPL doesn't recognise. 

When going through control panel\Game controllers everything seems fine, so must be a GPL issue.

Can anyone help?

Perhaps I should post on a different bit of the forum.

Cheers.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, I'll have a look on ebay.

Fun race at Kyalami?

Well done Hristo and Tim.  Thanks to the organisers for sorting the season out, the bit that I was able to make was great.

Unfortunately I couldn't make this one due a broken wheel, even after employing my soldering skills (gained from RC racing some 20 years ago), the thing didn't want to play.  Can anyone recommend a decent wheel?  Are G25s a default good choice?

Will there be plenty of fun races in the off season?

Is there any interest in a 69s championship?

Cheers, Bob.

Was surprised to qual 3rd but remembered too late that 1st was too tall, so bogged off the line (issue with using someone else's setup).  Started to catch the leaders but made a mistake and let nicky through.  Nicky then got onto the grass and I went for a pass into the final corner.  We made contact, cars dissappeared then reappeared, thought I'd got alongside enough but probably was still slightly behind. Anyways, sorry for my part in the contact, it looked like we could both continue...well in my case for a couple of laps, then I lost connection, d@mn it!  Two races on the bounce, may need to check out my German tinternet

Interesting circuit, which I seemed to make a bit of progress on but in the end was way off the pace.  I decided to stick with the trusty brabham safe in the knowledge I'd be at a disadvantage on the long straights!?  Had a good start but lost it a few corners later and rejoined last.  It was fun catching & battling with Goran, Steve and Phil, had some lag or summat and accidentally tagged Steve into the hairpin, sorry about that.

In the end my power settings turned off my monitor and I stacked it before it powered back-up.  At the time I wasn't too disappointed because I was the last runnerin 6th and couldn't catch Clive, but I have since read about the other retirees, so suppose there may have been a chance of 4th!!

I had a reasonable quali but then was caught short and missed the start, nice!  Started from pit lane which I think put me a lapdown on prib.

I was doing okay climbing steadily until I saw a car rejoining with flagrant disregard for anyone approaching (turned out to be Turkey) whilst Tim and I were ending lap 12.  Turkey, you say you had a quick look at prib, was that to make sure 2 drivers were approaching and drive straight onto the racing line? I saw Tim got past but I was pushed wide off the racing line.  I seemed to have warp or lag...whatever, on my screen you dissappeared, but you were actually there, reappearing on the grass as we spun across it.  You shouldn't have even been there though.

I carried on but couldn't go as quick, in the end my monitor turned off and I stacked it, quality end!!!

I had a shocker, kept hitting things and spinning. Was tempted to take the lotus, but thought I'd give the brab a try...bit of a mistake that.  Only got in at half 8 and didn't really have a set-up, decided to use a safe ish 'Dark' one.  It was alright for a lap or 2 but too much understeer meant red front tyre temps and I had to swing it into corners. My contacts on the barriers may have contributed to the understeer.  5th seems better than I deserve!  Well done JR, Jethro and Tim.

I had similar issues to most of the others.  With about 20 to go I was ejected and couldn't rejoin.

Wondered what happened to you kinghiro (Tom?) as you were setting a good pace then seemed to dissappear from prib.  I could see someone in front, which I suspected was you hence thought prib was wrong.

Surprised I managed to concentrate for so long, my car's handling changed quite a bit on 20-30 laps of fuel.  I had one spin apart from a few 1st corner issues where I could have been hit through warp.

Did anyone else experience cars jumping around like grasshoppers?  Was a bit tricky when lapping, did something happen to the server?

Interesting event, can we have some more 69s?

I would like to join the race, but realise I have missed the deadline....had internet issues.  Can I still be considered if someone drops out?

I had a grand stand view of Hristo disappearing into the distance...for a few laps at least.  Think my exit was also caused by a camshaft, was having a bit of a lonely drive.  For some reason my fastest qually lap didn't register.

Someone in an Eagle gave me the mother of all rear endings (ooh matron) at the end of the hangar straight, 8/10 for clearing the wall! I did brake a bit early, was being slightly cautious, least it was in qually.
