Here's a couple of screenies to help you set up a DFP properly (if you need it)
Windows (http://www.finnglish.co.uk/Stuff/settings.jpg)
I've since changed the degrees of rotation to 720° as that is the most LFS uses. Also 100% FF not 115%. Make sure that the degrees of rotation is 720° in LFS and wheel turn compensation is set all the way over to the right, at 1.0. Set up like this you get the physics as the developers intended.

This racing lark is bit tricky, I can see I will need to put in a few hours of practice to master the handling. A lot more skill involved than PGR3! I shall keep on trying.

Skill!?? You don't need to practice :whistle:, just jump on the server and let us patronise you while you learn. Ron does a good line in patronising, he's been practising for years now. :devil:

I do not patronise, I offer sound advice and heartfelt commiserations when things go wrong.

We're environmentally friendly and have never killed any faeries, trollboggles or ghasts.

I think I clipped a hedgehog last night though, he got his revenge by making me roll.

Where can you get DFPs these days anyway? My Sidewinder FF smells of scalextric after a hard session, matron.
