Here's a question for the tech guys. (I know you're here. <g>) I have an Act Labs Force RS wheel that works great with all my Windows racing sims. Except one: Ford Racing. Here's the puzzler. It worked fine with Ford Racing until very recently. Now, though FR can identify the FRS wheel, there is no response to input from the wheel or the pedals. Instead, the car takes off at top speed into the nearest left obstacle. I'm using DirectX 8.0a and the latest Act Labs drivers in Win98 SE. Jokes about FR aside, anyone know what might be keeping the wheel from sending input to the title? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Remove "hi" from address or it will bounce....
Give it up, Mr. Lipid -- you're not going to "out" any Ford Racing fans around these parts! ;-) FWIW, did you calibrate in Windows and then try to assign things in the game? Also, did you try combined AND separate axis for the brake and throttle? I'm not sure if FR supports split-axis or not. Just something to think about -- TTYL! -- JB On Fri, 25 May 2001 15:03:34 GMT, [email hidden] wrote:
