Have a look at my original sales receipt and the refund posted in
alt.binaries.simulators.auto.
Not the date of purchase!

Yes they do. And seeing how EB, Best Buy, and Circuit City a 1/2 mile down
the road sells almost all the same stuff for LESS, with better return
policies, its no wonder CrapUSA hasnt seen my money in a couple years or so.
My settings didn't show up correctly though using joystImm.exe program.
I have a TSW2 w/clutch kit. Running Split axis, using the RockFire USB
adapter on Windows XP.
Using the program, the following was detected:
Steering - X Axis (-1000,1000)
Brake - Z Rotation axis (-1000,1000)
Throttle - Slider 0 (1000,-1000)
Clutch - Y Axis (1,1000)
When I used these settings in the input.ini file, It wouldn't work. I tried
the ones you had listed, and everything worked except the throttle, which
was pegged either on the floor or all the way up, but in the middle, there
was no throttle.
Through experimentation I arrived at the following:
# Set this to 1 if you want to use following custom ranges instead of # (often brake) The Z - Axis turns out to be the throttle in this game, unfortunately, I Thanks for getting me headed the right way, now this can be fun again. I Glen Pittman
detected values
OverrideRanges = 1;
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--
# Steering input range
# (100% left, 100% right)
AnalogXAxisRange = {-1000, 1000};
AnalogYAxisRange = { -1000, 1000};
# (often acceleration)
AnalogZAxisRange = { 1000, -1000};
# Rotational
AnalogRXAxisRange = { 1000, -1000};
AnalogRYAxisRange = { 1000, -1000};
# (often a rudded control)
AnalogRZAxisRange = { -1000, 1000};
don't remember what was the brake, but it works now.
also have the Logitech Momo, but haven't been able to get rid of the TSW2
for it. The Logitech is distracting to me for some reason. I like the
extra buttons though, so maybe I will give it another try...

OK, now it makes sense. Of course they'll refund your money if you make
them bleed! <g>

I didn't realize you were in the UK. It seems that return policies there
are much more relaxed than in the states. If you buy software at a
retail outlet here, you can exchange it for the same title (such as if
the CD is scratched or something) but you cannot exchange for a different
title or return for a refund. Pretty much once you walk out of the store
it is yours. I guess they are afraid people would buy a game, take it
home and copy it, then return it for their money back.
Interestingly enough, I just looked at the return policies for
ebworld.com and gamestop.com (websites for Electronic Boutique and
Babbage's) and they are much more lenient than their in-store
counterparts. Via the web, you can return anything within 30 days for a
refund.

I think you just got your ego bruised after you posted criticism on THEIR

:-) And I'll have just as long of a post/sig as I damn well please,

I rarely see the same people in there when I return as I do when I buy.
Not like I tell them the real reason I'm returning it after all, cmon
now! Joker? Got a problem with me? I play by *their* rules pal.

CONTROLS:
- Input.ini file in the rallytrophy\data\settings folder has
descriptions for each parameter. Use only if you really need to
customize your controller values(and backup the original input.ini)!
That's should be enough to put the casual user off!
How about 200 words on what the input.ini does?
Nothing to do with 'ego', they just pissed me off. Never mind, I have my
money back now.
RT is ***anyway, IMO.
