N4 and Logitech Driving Force [blue] help?

by Tim » Sun, 06 Jan 2002 00:23:05

My brother has the Logitech Driving Force wheel [blue] for Playstation2
which is USB.   I gave him NASCAR 4 for Christmas and set it all up on
his PC but had some difficulty with it.  

We had alot of trouble getting the peddles to be recognized in the
config screen- seemed like it would only recognize one peddle or the
other when it finally did.   Trouble getting many of the buttons to be
recognized as well when we tried to assign them.  

He said the wheel worked fine with NASCAR Heat on his PC right off the
bat.   However, no force feedback in anything yet.

Any advice for a non-sim head on getting his particular wheel to work
with both N4 and GPL?  
[I don't think he has even tried GPL with it yet]

Thanks for any help you can lend.

I believe I read somewhere that there registry edits you have to do to get
that wheel to work on the PC.

FYI,

After intalling the latest 4.11c Logitech WingMan Profiler from
www.wingmanteam.com , I used regedit to rename the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\control\
MediaProperties\PrivateProperties\Joystick\OEM\
VID_046D&PID_C294

to

VID_046D&PID_C294a

I used the registry update file from the last post of the thread at:

http://www.racesimcentral.net/%7Ehg/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=150...
293#post150513

to add a revised VID_046D&PID_C294 key entry.

The Control Panel->Game *** Option recognizes the wheel as a "Logitech
Driving Force for PS2".

However, the Wingman Profiler (4.11.332) does not recognize the wheel.  As a
result, the gas/brake pedals are always COMBINED on the y-axis of joystick
1.

Force feedback works on all the PC games/sims that I have installed.  The
button mappings are:

Button
ID#  Driving Force
=============================
1 = X button
2 = Sqaure button
3 = Triangle button
4 = Circle button
5 = Right spoke top
6 = Left spoke top
7 = Left spoke bottom
8 = Right spoke bottom

Good luck,
Brian
