Phil -
The answer to most of your questions lies with JoystImm.exe a little utility
that comes with Racer and gives you accurate raw data from your controllers
so that you can plug the values into RT's input.ini. That plus a little
reading on the JW forums to get the optimal values for the other settings
and you and your readers should be off to the track.
You can get JoystImm.exe here (I up'd it to my site for you)
http://www.racesimcentral.net/, it is a
Logitech Momo which I wired to my TSW2 pedals (took about 15 minutes) along
with an RS Shifter.
The raw data looks like this in JoystImm:
Throttle (Z axis) 0 up to 1000 down
Brake (Z Rotation) -1000 up to 1000 down
Wheel (X axis) -1000 left to +1000 right
Here's how my input.ini shakes out with those numbers:
# How many control events are buffered
BufferSize = 8;
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Converts analog steering to digital
# (for gamepads that are reported as analog)
ForceDigitalSteering = 0;
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Minimum & maximum values for input devices
AxisMinValue = -1000;
AxisMaxValue = 1000;
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Values for exponential functions
# ( 1.0 = no effect, bigger values give less sensitivity, smaller more)
SteeringExponent = 1.2;
ThrottleExponent = 1.0;
BrakeExponent = 1.5;
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
# Set this to 1 if you want to use following custom ranges
OverrideRanges = 1;
#----------------------------------------------------------------------
AnalogXAxisRange = { -1000, 1000};
AnalogYAxisRange = { -1000, 1000};
AnalogZAxisRange = { 0, 1000};
# Rotational
AnalogRXAxisRange = { 1000, -1000};
AnalogRYAxisRange = { 1000, -1000};
AnalogRZAxisRange = { -1000, 1000};
#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those settings along with my***driver, wire cutter and electrical tape
allow me to use my TSW2 pedals in split axis mode with RT (and all other
titles). I used feedback from other drivers on the JW board to come up with
these settings:
SteeringExponent = 1.2;
ThrottleExponent = 1.0;
BrakeExponent = 1.5;
They work very well for me and others have posted in agreement.
Hope this helps!
