F12002 Throttle Dead Zone Fix

First go to your 'save' directory and then to the 'your player name' directory and open the file 'yourplayername.PLR' in a text editor. Scroll down until you find the section starting with [ Controls ]. In the section, you will find lines like these below. Axis [00, 00] Dead Zone="0.00000" Axis [00, 00] Sensitivity="0.79717" Axis [00, 00] Center="0.50000" // 0.0=min, 0.5=center, 1.0=max (use to correct centering or split-axis issues) There are 48 lines in this section. The first number in the brackets is the joystick, 00 for Joy1 and 01 for Joy2. The second number is the axis, 00 is X, 01 is Y and so on. The line you need to change is the one labeled 'Center'. This is set to 0.5 by default, which is appropiate for a centering control like steering but for a non-centering control, like the brake or throttle, it needs to be set to either 0.0 or 1.0 depending on whether the control sends increasing or decreasing values. Which axis is which is a bit hard to figure but I think that the [xx,00] axis, where xx is the joy number, will be the steering in most systems so leave that at 0.5 and change all the others. Try 1.0 first and if your pedals don't then work, try 0.0. I hope this helps any one having problems. David G Fisher

Great detective work David. Have to try it when coming home from work. -- Olav Malmin remove .spam when replying

Well actually all I did was copy and paste from a post I found at one of the forums. High Gear probably.

It doesn't work for the F12002 demo though (just the full game), which is what I think you were referring to in your thread you posted this morning. David G Fisher "Richard S Beckett" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:adncds$[email hidden]...

Nice find David :) Now if only they would integrate that into the menu system within the game, most of the bickering here could end ;) -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:YPFL8.125189$%[email hidden]... > First go to your 'save' directory and then to the 'your player name' > directory and open the file 'yourplayername.PLR' in a text editor.

Were these settings also available in F12001? If not I assume this is ISI's way of correcting peoples deadzone problems with F12001. Logitech has maintained it is a DX8 problem so it looks like they built in a workaround. Should be in the menu though, not just in a config file.
