Just tried the test server and I can report that the server works fine....unlike my D-type
Actually, Mr Microsoft kindly installed a Win 10 update on my PC last night ( awfully generous of him eh? ) and today my G25 had lost all of its settings. Yeah, yeah, I know that I should have made a note of what they were in case of just such an eventuality....but I didn't
. I had to modify/experiment with the various Logitech sliders to recreate what I think I had before.
I have more or less got things back to where it "feels" like right, but I am experiencing something that I have not come across before. The wheel appears to work OK in GPL under all circumstances.
I had previously done a couple of laps offline at Dundrod in the D-type just to see how bad it could be on Friday and it was more or less as I expected, but no sign of the following issues
So today in GTL, both offline and on Matts server for Dundrod, all feels fine as I leave the pits and wind the D-type up to max revs along the straight. Negotiating those fast left- right- left sweepers is OK ,allowing for my lack of ability and a few marks in the grass verges
.
Then we come to the first braking zone, down the hill to that tricky right hander by the gate. The first time I know that I was just approaching too fast and did not expect to make the corner, so a return to the pits and another try...this time a little more cautiously.
I braked early and downshifted to 2nd ( nice shifter
)….lift off brake pedal….turned on a handful of right hand lock....and the car simply continued straight ahead with what was now full right lock applied??? it did not even turn the nose of the car when we were at walking pace?? and one could see that I had simply continued in a straight line right through the fence to where I stopped??? The best way to describe it, was as if the steering column had become disconnected.
But, when I restarted the engine and drove back onto the tarmac/road the steering appeared to function just fine. So I continued my exploratory lap and everything worked fine until we reached the next big braking zone at the bottom of the long hill and another tight right hander...…….brake early....downshift early.....lift off brakes.....apply right lock...….and exactly the same result...straight on through the hedge with no attempt to take the corner??
I don't think that Tony would provide me with a dodgy car and I doubt that Matt has somehow rigged the server, so my hunch is that something is amiss with the settings on my G25 wheel OR I have somehow created a conflict with the in-game CONTROLS options and that major steering input is not being recognised?? but why only at those corners? I tried several times and was only able to negotiate those corners at around 10 mph and even then I put a wheel onto the outside grass verge.
A long tail of woe here, but is anyone aware of any of the in-game GTL controls settings that limit/block/negate steering inputs??
I don't have time right now but I intend to test this issue on some of my other GTL installs and will report back.
