Racer control set

by ayemdee.. » Wed, 26 Dec 2001 08:47:39

        I'm having a problem getting my setup to work with Racer.  I
have a MS non-ff wheel, ActLab pedals, and USB GPL Shifter.  Anyone
have a similar setup to mine and wouldn't mind sharing their control
set?

This is mine but it doesn't seem to work.  My AL pedals are ID#1,
Shifter is ID#2, and wheel is ID#3 in the games control panel of
win98se.

Try adding controller=2 here as well. Or set controller0 to use index
2, so the default controller (#0) uses ID#3 (I start counting at 0, so
this is index=2).

For example:

Will use controller #0, which are the AL pedals in your case.

Hope this makes things a bit clearer, until a complete controller menu
can be built,

I got all my controllers working now.  Thanks for the help.  

Does Racer support free-shifting yet with all 6 gears and neutral?
The Actlabs shifting util doesn't have support for Racer in it's list.
I'm currently using sequential shifting by assigning button 2 and 3 on
the USB shifter for shiftup and shiftdown.

Here is my controlset just incase someone else needs it:

;
; Controls configuration
;
; Settings for a Microsoft(tm) Sidewinder Wheel (no force feedback)
; Probably works for a lot of other wheels as well.
; Note the wheel worked funny (axis didn't reach full extent)
; until I plugged in a joystick and a wheel back in, upon which
; a new driver seemed to be installed and made it all work better
; (this was under Windows2000, no service packs, DX7)

Good to hear. :)

Not yet. I'm planning that for the next version (including the clutch
pedal).
