WARNING:

I can't find any. Many say the multiplayer is dead.

I picked up a Microsoft sidewinder FFB wheel at a local thrift store and have been trying to set it up for SCE. The force feedback works great, however i cannot get the wheel to both give resistance when turning the wheel and give force feedback. If I set the FFB setting to off, then the wheel will center itself and give resistance when turning, but obviously then has no FFB.

I have never had an issue getting well over 60 fps on my setup in SCE. However the other day i went and loaded up a session and now i cant get over 20fps in game. I tried following the "optimize your graphics" guide. Nothing changed FPS wise. Anyone have any ideas?

edit: I seem to have located the issue: had to go into my user data folder in the game folder and change a 0 to a 1... back to getting normal frame rates.

I'm learning how to sim race and I find the in-game minimum difficulty of 70% just a bit too high. Is there a file that I can edit to make it lower? Thanks.

As much as I try to google it, I can not find a list of real life aids used on the default cars in SCE.

The only one I know of is the lancer cup which have TC and ABS on low because the 1.50 update notes suggested it.

Does anyone know where I can find this information or if you have a list you can share that would be great! I just want to drive the cars like they do in real life. Thanks!

I cannot see any servers when I go to Multiplayer. It comes up empty and shows No Games Available. I turned off my windows firewall with the same results. Rfactor and RF2 are not having this problem. I even tried to manually enter the ip address of my leagues race server with no luck. It also makes no difference what cars I choose. I don't know what has changed because I was able to see servers after upgrading to 1.50 and even connected to my leagues server. I've searched the internet but I haven't found anything yet. Any ideas?

Are there any steering settings I need change in the Garage now, or can I leave it at default? (Apart from "Custom Steer Rotation" being set to "No").

What about the "Steering wheel rotation" in the options menu? Can I leave at 900 along with the profiler, or do I have to limit it to the value found in the garage for each car-class?

EDIT: I found a thread on RD explaining pretty much that there needs to be no fiddling in the garage with steering locks and so on. Also - the "Steering wheel rotation" in the Option menu can be ignored if "Custom Steer Rotation" is set to "No". (http://www.racedepartment.com/threads/stock-car-extreme-v1-50-released.112891/).

Having issues with racing AI in the Lancer, they slam on the brakes on green when doing rolling starts and have been driving into me as if they don't realize I'm there some times. Issue on my side or is it a bug? I have the strength at 85% with (I think?) 25% aggression.

Also don't know if this is just the game or these cars but the AI seems slower in races compared to in practice where I'm climbing past the field with ease during races when we were running very close times in practice.
