GP3: Patch Controller Setup

Hi, Well I've patched GP3 and it is very nice indeed, if only I know what to do with being able to break and accelerate at the same time. Anyway, on of the thing that does annoy me is that you can now set the pit call button to a button on your wheel, but what about some of the other controls? The gap indicator would be nice. Oh well, Bob

(but i only have 4 on the LWFFGP) Pause, Replay, Pit Entry Toggle, Return To Pits (basically the keys I use most so I don't have to lean over to reach the keyboard!!) In GPL, I have PO[Enter], Shift-R, look left and right etc... Scott

Which controller do you use? I use he MS Sidewinder Wheel an i configure the bottons (exept shift up/down an pit call) through the menue. To use x, y and z-axis, you first have to configure the wheel through the windows menue. Then start GP3, go to options, controllers (or whatever it's called, I have the german version). Make sure the "controller calibration" button (or similar) is marked. Choose the "braking device" button and double click "device B". This opens a menue showing the different axis you may use. Now make sure that the check box on the left of the axix you want to use for braking is marked. I hope this helps. To me, slit axis makes a hell of a difference, braking and accelerating is much smoother and the car more "driveable".

Yes, split axis is invaluable - to me anyway. Just bought the Act-Labs wheel and didn�t do a thorough before-buy-check, it has no split axis-option! I don�t know what to do, stick with it and try to get used to it or return to the MSFF.

I have the "x" button set for uninstall ! I get very frustrated with GP3, you see. It just doesn't quite convince me that real F1 cars are remotely like the cars represented in the game. Also, I have a serious grievance with the controller se-tup and my Microsoft FF wheel .
