NFS6: Custom Controllers and definitions.ini file ?

The NFS6 demo doesn't recognize my brake pedal (custom 3-axis controller
under WinXP).  It looks like it may be possible to edit the controller
definitions.ini file manually to get it to work, has anyone figured out the
format?  thx much!

Good news, managed to edit definitions.ini to make it work with
split-axis. For my MSFFB I changed the entry to:

[joystick 5]
name = Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel (USB)
button0 = kTxtAButton2
button1 = kTxtBButton2
button2 = kTxtCButton2
button3 = kTxtXButton2
button4 = kTxtYButton2
button5 = kTxtZButton2
button6 = kTxtLeftPaddle
button7 = kTxtRightPaddle

axis0 = 0,left,127,0,kTxtWheelLeft
axis1 = 0,right,127,255,kTxtWheelRight
axis2 = 1,down,255,0,kTxtGasPedal
axis3 = 5,down,255,0,kTxtBrakePedal

This now assigns axis3 to be real axis 5 on the wheel, which is my
brake pedal.

Hope this helps,

Ade.

Is anyone having pedal issues with a Logitech MOMO?  I need help :-(

Okay, I tried playing with the definitions.ini file to make the split
axis work with a TSW2 stock wheel. No luck.

I thought I had it figured out, but it doesn't work.

From the in-game config. menu, the steering is on axis0 right and
axis0 left.
The brake is axis5 up and the gas is axis 6 right.

From looking at the other entries in the file, it appears that "left"
and "up" have values of "127,0" and that "right" and "down" have
values of "127,255". However, when I plug these values in, I get the
same response from the game.

I start a race and the tach is pegged, like the gas is floored, even
though the pedal isn't depressed. Once the race starts, the car immed.
goes into reverse and accels quickly. If I press the brake, the car
slows and then stops and goes forwards. The gas pedal is acting like a
brake.

Can anyone offer a solution for the TSW2? Also, can the Act Labs
shifter be used with NFS6?

Just a thought, but try this...

Go into controllers settings in the game, but when defining the
accelerate and brake hold the pedal down fully before clicking, and
then release so that the game recognises the pedal moving back up as
being the control you wish to use.

Worked for me...
