Tips - We run a fixed setup so that everyone is pretty much equal. If you are having problems controlling your car or it pushes up real bad in the turns, you might try adjusting your wheel. We have a good starting point that we give out.

1. Go into Options and Calibrate your wheel.

2. Click on Advanced. Set the Steering Assistance at 15%, Set the linearity at 75-80% and check the box for Boost steering at low speeds.

3. If you are still chasing the wheel and the car is still pushing up the track in the turns, go into the garage and turn the steering ratio down to 20 and test it. You might want to adjust it up or down from there until you get the feel that is right for you.

4. If your steering is twitchy, try turning down the linearity alittle or turning the steering ratio up.

 

Running the game in a Window - Running the game in a window let's you jump back and forth to your desktop without getting of the of game.

1. First, you have to run the game at the same resolution as your desk top.

2. Run the 3D config and check the "Run in a window" box.

3. Go into your game folder using Windows Explorer and find the app.ini file.

4. Open the file and look for the 2 lines like this:

windowTopLeftX=0
windowTopLeftY=0

5. Change the "windowTopLeftX=0" to windowTopLeftX=-3

6. Change the "windowTopLeftY=0" to windowTopLeftY=-23

7. Start the game, you only want to see a small line at the top of the screen. You don't want to be able to see the boxes to minimize the screen, but you should still be able to find them.

8. To raise the window higher, raise the "windowTopLeftY=" number.
