Problems: steering wheel and powerslide

by Joey & Harriet Millar » Mon, 25 Jan 1999 04:00:00

I can get the wheel to work steering left and right, but I'm having trouble
with the brake and gas pedals. The game automatically puts the gas wide
open, and i'm having to press the gas or brake to make the engine idle.
Thanks, if anyone can help.

Problems: steering wheel and powerslide

What an awesome game, but I'm having the same damn problem.  Is your
steering wheel/pedal unit able to split the pedal axis?  I'm using an ECCI
unit which does have a switch on the pedal unit to split the gas and brake
into different axis.  I tried setting up the joystick in win98 as a three
axis contoller, and Powerslide even has the option of either two or three
axis controls, but it doesn't seem to work.   I'd be curious to know if the
proposed patch from Ratbag will address this issue, or if we're just doing
something wrong.  The patch has been over five weeks in the waiting.

I also have a problem with the rearview mirror.  I'm running two Canopus
Voodoo 2 cards in SLI mode and when I activate the mirror the scenery gets
all screwed up.  The textures of the mountains, and road surface become
large blocks of black polygons.  Then I tried using just the TNT card on my
system as the D3D accelerator and I still have the crazy scenery.  Have you
had problems with that as well?

I have logitec formula force, but also got the problem. I cannot assign
gas and brake pedal at all except just click on default. And still cannot
play it anyway.
