When I use the anaylser on a generated perf file, there is no steering
data displayed, it just appears as a straight line.

Has anybody got any ideas on whats wrong.

You've got to use GPperf 4.0, 2.0 doesn't generate steering/... data.

If you play with the keyboard, you won't get much useful data. Three
positions - left, center, right. (Can a keyboard driver confirm that it
works like that?) I've had no problems with a joystick. Perhaps you,
should check the message when you load GPPerf to make sure it really is
2.0 and not 1.1 or 1.2?

You confusing GPPerf and GPAnalyser. GPPerf 2.0 is the latest and DOES
generate steering, gas/brake, and position information.

You also need GPAnalyser 4.0 or 4.1 to handle GPPerf 2.0 logs.

As Dave said, both GPPerf 2.0 and GPAnalyzer 4.1 are needed to generate
_and_ display steering, gas/brake and position information.

Another problem could be that you _are_ using these versions, but that
you're comparing old .prf files with new ones, or that you've generated
two .prf files which are equal in steering or gas/brake. I've come
across these situations myself quite a few times.

I have the same problem. I _am_ using GPPerf 2.0 and GPAnalyzer 4.1. And I can
see gas/brakes graphs to compare them, but I cannot see steering - just
straight line. And I am using keyboard to drive. Both perfs are written with
GPPerf 2.0, and I _am_ sure that steering there is different.
Maybe it is really so that GPPerf writes steering log only if you use joystick?

I just examined some of Ivanhoe's .prf files and it appears that you
are correct, no steering data is logged if the keyboard is being used.
Gas/brakes are logged. Any mouse drivers know if it logs mouse data?
