Back to GPL

After a computer upgrade and GP3, I tried to go back to GPL to do a few laps. I find that now my wheel (homemade) steers backwards in GPL. (turn wheel right, car goes left). Fresh install does same thing. Wheel works correctly in GP3, and used to be fine in GPL. During my upgrade, I removed my AMC game card and now have my wheel and CH pedals plugged into my SBL value card. I use direct input for GPL. Any ideas on how to fix this for GPL without messing up GP3 ( I want to use both) Thanks, Steve

Try calibrating it backwards.... When it prompts you to steer left, steer right instead.... Ya never know, it might work?

easy , when gpl asks you to turn the wheel left in controls setup - TURN IT RIGHT ! sorted ps. no idea why this has happened - that's computers for you.

GPL doesn't ask for the wheel to be turned right, it says only move controllers to their full range.... BTW in the calibration screen the little pointer moves right when I turn my wheel right, but in the car when I move my wheel right the car wheels move left????

Seems to me you're calibrating your wheel, but not setting the controls. After you've calbibrated your wheel... see the list of controls, top left of screen? -Click on the "steering" one and when the game asks you to steer left, steer left. If that reverses the input do it again, but steer right instead of left. -Continue down the list until everything is set to your liking... Hope that clears things up for you.

Well you could try calibrating it in such a way that when the game asks you to turn left you turn it right, wouldn't that correct the problem?

After you calibrate it you'll see where on the left of the controller setup screen there is a place to assign controls, that's your man!

Silly me, I set the controls OK, but didn't notice it said "to steer left....." Thanks all, Steve GraDee <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8thpee$ic4$[email hidden]... > After you calibrate it you'll see where on the left of the controllersetup

The SBL must be reversing the pot movement try unplugging the wheel go into GPL which will default to keyboard control, exit then plug the wheel back in and recalibrate in GPL. This should fix it.

Yeah, but after you've calibrated it, still in the controllers setup screen, you'll see that something like "axis x+" and "axis x-" are assigned to steer left and steer right. If you click steer left, gpl will ask you for a controller input. If you turn the wheel left, gpl automatically assigns this to steer left and the opposite for steer right. So if you click steer left, and then turn the wheel right, that should solve the problem. I suspect the wheel may well be working fine and you could just have the wrong assignments in the controller screen, I could be wrong though. Either way the problem isn't with the calibration but the assignment.
