Re: 2 Problems or Questions with FIA GTR

 On the shifting issue, the switches in your wheel may just be dirty -
same thing happened with my old Act-Labs wheel until I cleaned it
(sprayed a little contact cleaner).
On the Spa stuttering - there are lots of slow 256MB cards out there ;)
- try reducing your visible vehicles. Do you notcie it more in
practice where alot of cars are in the pits? What video card are you
using?

HTH,
Kendt

Same here, with a TSW2, usually on downshifts, less often on upshifts
and also quite nasty when you're trying to slow the car down for
chicane #1 at Monza.

First I thought that my button cables on the TSW2 had gone bad again
(Thomas replaced them free of charge once before), but it only happens
in GTR so I guess it's not the cables this time.

Cheers,

uwe

Same trouble here with Momo Force! I re-mapped from paddle shifters to top
red wheel buttons and still (less-often) it happens. Can't say I am glad
others are having the same problem, but comforted in knowing it might be a
software issue. I did notice it more however, with the right paddle or
button (upshift). Thought my wheel had a stroke and the right side was
partially paralyzed. Paddles work fine with NR 2003, NSR, RBR, GPL & F1C.

Any ideas??>

 Sounds like a software issue. At least I'm not alone in the wilderness..
I was fully expecting to buy the US version also, so hopefully it will be
resolved by then...
Thanks for the help all, thats why I read this stuff everyday,
Timmy

1.) Shifting problem

The logitech wheels certainly aren't affected by this. Do you have problems
in any other DirectInput games?
2.) Significant Frame stutter at Spa on the front stretch.

If you're running a full field then that's the part where the pitlane is and
it's going to slow down on ANY PC except maybe an AMD FX55. With a 2.6GHz
PC you should probably stick to fields of about 20-30 if you want to
maintain a decent frame rate. Also, if you're running a low-spec video card
like a 9600XT then you will get a big performance hit in those
circumstances. My 256MB 9600XT struggles in areas that my friend's X800XT
simply breezes through. (Same CPU too)
