Thanks for all the responses, guys. Unfortunately, I still can't get this to work right. But here's an inetretsing question: After trying the various suggestions regarding input.ini values, I found that changing the values didn't change the situation at all. So, I started to think that perhaps my input.ini file is either in the wrong directory or that there was something else wrong. So, I decided to start from scratch with a clean install. Well, after doing the clean install, starting RT up, setting my controller configuration, and trying a time trial (with the brake again reversed), I found that there was no input.ini file at all! So, exactly in what directory should this input.ini file be located? (Luckily, I backed up the one that I was manipulating.) And, any theories as to why there wasn't an input.ini file immediately after re-installation? Bert BRH wrote:

The input.ini file is added with the first patch. There is a line in the input.ini file that you have to change from a "0" to a "1" for these numbers to make any difference at all. The line is listed below: # Set this to 1 if you want to use following custom ranges instead of detected values OverrideRanges = 1; #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- "BRH @attbi.com>" <"bertrh<no-spam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
