F12002 demo and clutch

by Ed Whit » Fri, 21 Jun 2002 08:12:52

Hi all, I've been tinkering with the F12002 demo and have been enjoying it,
with one exception, I can't get the game to recognize my MOMO buttons as a
clutch.....it works when I assign the button as clutch, it shows red in the
clutch area of the controller setup when the button is pressed, but hop into
the car and it's like I'm driving an automatic.....pressing the button has
no effect, car is always "in gear". This same button works as clutch in GPL
and N02 just fine.....my initial impression of the controller setup in the
F12002 demo was not good, it took me a while to get it all working the way I
wanted, but now I'm having fun and seeing some improvement in my driving,
just wish the clutch worked. Any ideas?

I was/am experiencing the same problem. Have you also noticed clutch help
turns itself back on each time you fire up the demo?

Anyhow, I don't know if you're actually using it, but someone suggested
turning off traction control. Haven't had time to try this fix, so be sure
to let us know whether it works or not.

Hi Jan, I have noticed several options re-appearing as if by magic, that was
one of the things that made me nuts during the initial setup of the game,
I'd make a few changes to the config, do a few laps, make some more changes,
and then find some of the previous changes un-done......!!!!! I figured it
was me, but now, I'm not sure. BTW, I have all the helps turned off, and
I've tried the clutch help both on and off, no joy, BUT at least the config
seems to have settled into the way I want it, and is staying that way. I'll
post back if anything works, Thanks, Ed
