Here's the situation. I am trying to help my father get his new (from me! :) Sidewinder wheel set up on his computer. Problem: I live in Ontario (Canada eh?) and he lives in Nunavut, which is kind of far away. Now, based on what he is telling me,. everything is set up fine in Windows, and the wheel and pedals work. However, when he tries to set up the wheel in Burnout:PCE it doesn't seem to recognize the pedals but the wheel is fine for steering. When he is on the calibration screen, the wheel itself calibrates and can have the left and right steering assigned to it. However, the pedals dont seem to work at all. I have had him set the pedals to both combined and separate axes under teh Sidwinder profiler, and neither seems to work. He presses them but they just won't calibrate. It's like the pedals are not even plugged in or something. Is there some issue with Burnout and the Sidewinder wheels? I can't think of anything that would cause this, and it sucks that he is 2000 kms away. Anyone have an idea? Thanks.
What port does that wheel use? I found out that if it uses a USB port you cannot use the wheel in the game. I found that on the games wesite somewhere. I would like to use my ForceRS with it to but it just wont happen. =================== Dwayne =================== "I told him he was number 1" (Dale Earnhardt) I will miss you Dale
It might be the Pedal mode. Go to the control panel and then choose settings. Try it with 'combined' or 'separate' pedal mode. combined should work with all games. But if the games supports 'separate' axis, that's the best mode to use. On Thu, 22 Feb 2001 03:03:09 GMT, "Aaron Menchions" <[email hidden]> wrote:
