F1RS: T3 (Pedals) Controller Problem

F1RS: T3 (Pedals) Controller Problem

by Marc Collin » Wed, 18 Mar 1998 04:00:00

I have a T3 and am wondering how to get a respectable pedal set-up. First
off, the wheel and pedals are correctly configured and
calibrated in Win95 using the ProPanel. The adjustment for sensitivity in
F1RS seems to do nothing of the sort. There is only precisely one spot for
each of the acceleration and braking that I can use to prevent the two from
interfering with each other.

The car will idle above its normal idle speed (as though the pedal was being
partly depressed) until I turn the sensitivity down to about somewhere in
the 25% range (thanks for no digital output of the setting, UbiSoft). When I
hit this point, I am left with a functioning but somewhat dull pedal
response.

The brakes are being applied (as though the pedal was partly depressed)
unless I turn the sensitivity down to about 20%. Unfortunately, what I am
left with is a pedal that needs to be depressed almost all the way to get
any braking action whatsoever. Perhaps this is 80% no effect, as the slider
would suggest--except that if I adjust it any higher, the brakes are on the
whole time.

I tried a test by putting both brakes and accel. at 100%. The car idles at
about half speed and I must press the brake all the way to the floor to get
the engine down to regular 1600 r.p.m. idle.

Obviously, something is getting criss-crossed, but all of the calibration
and test modes in both the ProPanel and the regular Win95 panel work
perfectly (no rudders selected, combined pedals). The wheel and pedals work
perfectly in all other driving games (DirectX and not). The steering works
fine in F1RS (set at 100%).

I know at least one of you F1RS gurus will be able to shed some light on
this as there is no way this sim. could behave this way and have all of your
accolades.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Marc.
