Sim

Hi all, here is something for you to try: http://www.camtp.uni-mb.si/camtp/veble/sims/SimEngine.zip be sure to read the Readme before trying it out: http://www.camtp.uni-mb.si/camtp/veble/sims/readme.html You are installing it at your own risk! Nothing should happen, though, but just to let you know it hasn't been tested much. It requires an OpenGL capable 3D accelerator and DirectX 8 installed. -Gregor

Yikes, I have to postpone that for at least a week, before I can afford to perhaps mess up my working system. ;-) I'm very curious. Perhaps it's a nice idea to put up some screenshots on your page?

Well I've tried it, but unfortunately haven't been able to get my MS Precision Racing Wheel [non-FF] set up properly. Gregor [or anyone with a similar wheel] - what settings would you recommend I use in input.ini? Thanks Jim "Ruud van Gaal" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hi Jim, I don't have that wheel, but do try to run the Joystick.exe program that is found in the same dir (thanks to Ruud for the idea!). You'll see which axis then corresponds to which input, and you may edit the input.ini file accordingly. One thing to check is whether some axes need to be flipped. Both the accelerator and the brake axis needed the command on my wheel (e.g. add the line FLIP Y_AXIS; if Y_AXIS is your accelerator axis that is interpreted badly). Unfortunately, if your wheel uses one of the Slider axes I somehow didn't incorporate those yet. However, I will during the weekend. -Gregor Jim L wrote:

Hi Ruud, trust me, the screenshots are nothing to write home about. It's currently all a physics model with a placeholder track (a simple constant bank oval) and car graphics, with only one camera (driver's view) available at the time. It's very ugly, but I think the physics feel rather good. Also, DirectX 8.0 didn't cause any trouble for me, and I heard good reports as well. Be sure to get the 8.0a version, though, I think it fixes some glitches with USB devices, although I haven't found any with the 8.0 version (and I have two USB controllers plugged in). -Gregor Ruud van Gaal wrote:

Ok, I'll try it after next week, when not everybody's knocking at my door with deadlines. Thanks for the credit on your page btw. :) >Also, DirectX 8.0 didn't cause any trouble for me, and I heard good >reports as well.

Ok, sounds good, I had been reading so many 'DX8 screwed up my computer!' things. I have an MSFF wheel btw so I'll try to work the controller thing out. Have been doing nearly the same thing myself with negating axes so must be possible. :) Thanks for putting it up, Ruud van Gaal, GPL Rank +53.25 Pencil art : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/ Free car sim : http://www.marketgraph.nl/gallery/racer/
