act labs RS + pedals + shifter problems

by Txl » Mon, 14 Jul 2003 18:05:36

Hello

I have the RS+shifter and recently I just got the pedals, in windows
everything is OK I can see both units and they are OK but in the games
(except LFS) they do not appear.

The prlkblem is that I also have a sidewinder USB for IL2 and a cheap pad
for FIFA and ISS.

If I remove both other controller and leave only the act labs things it
works, but how can I plu in my other controllers and tell GPL and F12k2 and
F1c that they have to look beyong controller 1 and 2 sionce the act labs
are 3 and 4.

Thanks for the help

What I do is change the controller ID's in *** options for the game I
want to play.

e.g.:

For GPL: ID 1 Redline Pedals, ID 2 Momo wheel, ID 3 actlabs usb shifter.

For IL-2 FB: ID 1 Saitek, ID 2 Momo (6 buttons and paddles used for
various controls), ID 3 actlabs usb shifter (used for engine selection),
ID 4 Redline Pedals (used for wheel brakes).

It's a bit of a pain but I've got used to doing it this way now. It
would be nice if we could just load a profile in *** options to do
all this ID shifting automatically!

Hope that helps

Sounds great, but under XP I cannot change controller ID, I can set a
"favourite controller" which I have set as ACT LABS but even like this the
controllers are seen in the order they appear in the control panel and the
games only see the 2 first ones....

I had that problem too, and never could get an answer from Microsoft.
What it does for me is 'break' the force feedback in GPL, because GPL
wants the FF device to be the first in the list.
