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. misc { displayname=My Setup } controllers { ; How many controllers to use from this list? count=3 ; Define all controllers controller0 { ; Main controller ; Index in the list of game controllers index=0 force_feedback=0 deadzone=0 } // Other controllers you want to include controller1 { index=1 force_feedback=0 } controller2 { index=2 force_feedback=0 } } controls { ; Vehicle control steerleft { ; Index intro controller list from above section (default is 0) controller=2 axis=x min=0 max=-1000 } steerright { axis=x min=0 max=1000 } throttle { controller=0 axis=y min=800 max=-800 } brakes { ; RvG, 8-8-01: the non-FF MSFF wheels seem ; to use axis Y, not RZ ;axis=rz controller=0 axis=y min=800 max=-800 } shiftup { controller=2 button=7 } shiftdown { controller=2 button=6 } clutch { controller=0 axis=z min=800 max=-800 negate=1 } }

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: > throttle > { > controller=0 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, Ruud van Gaal Free car sim : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/racer/ Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/

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) ; Created by Ruud van Gaal, 15-12-00 ; misc { displayname=MS Precision Wheel, Act Labs Pedals, USB GPL Shifter } controllers { ; How many controllers to use from this list? count=3 ; Define all controllers controller0 { ; Act Labs Performance Pedals ; Index in the list of game controllers index=0 force_feedback=0 deadzone=0 } // Other controllers you want to include controller1 { ; USB GPL Shifter index=1 force_feedback=0 } controller2 { ; Microsoft Precision Sidewinder Wheel index=2 force_feedback=0 } } controls { ; Vehicle control steerleft { ; Index intro controller list from above section (default is 0) controller=2 axis=x min=0 max=-1000 } steerright { controller=2 axis=x min=0 max=1000 } throttle { controller=0 axis=rx min=1000 max=-1000 } brakes { controller=0 axis=ry min=1000 max=-1000 } shiftup { controller=1 button=2 } shiftdown { controller=1 button=3 } clutch { controller=0 axis=z min=-1000 max=1000 negate=0 } }

Thanks for the help. Good to hear. :) >Does Racer support free-shifting yet with all 6 gears and neutral? Not yet. I'm planning that for the next version (including the clutch pedal).
