Setup the axis in windows first.....

Ive got 2 controllers set up in windows. JoyA horiz, JoyA vert, JoyA 4 buttons as my first controller, and JoyBhoriz as my second controller. Now when i go into GP3 i can use the exact same setup options that i use in GP2.....JoyA horiz steering, JoyA vert accelerator, JoyB horiz brake. This works on my F1 Sim.... It should have been written in the manual or in the readme.txt.... Split axis works fine... pez Ian Evans wrote in message ...

Until then I'm sticking with the warez copy They should have release a beta copy and we would have ironed all this stuff out for them!!!!

I would appreciate it if you could tell me how you have set the the CH pro and pedals to work with GP3 Ian Evans Peter Holt <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

What sort of wheel and pedals have you got? I have successfully configured a CH Virtual Pilot Pro and CH pedals to work with split axis.

Hang on - the policy here is to completely remap the controller to cope with the nuances of one simulator? Err.. No thanks. You guys certainly are keen. Peter Holt wrote:

This is a pretty bad time consuming work around if you're playing multiple sims at once. Have to hope that hasbro actually gets their ass into gear and releases a fuctional, useful controller setup system. Z. Please remove my_pants when replying.

Thanks for your help on this one. I'll give it a go. Ian Zonky <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Czui5.2004$ly4.8753@NewsReader... > In article <[email hidden]>, Peter Holt<[email hidden]> wrote:

No problem Ian, GP3 considers that Joystick B is the second controller on your system so you need to make your wheel controller 1 and your pedals controller 2. 1/ Go to Control Panel/Game Controllers and remove all entries. 2/ Add a 2 axis, 4 button joystick, this is your wheel. 3/ Add a 2 axis, 2 button joystick, this is your pedals. Both entries should show OK. Select the controller 2 properties and note which axis, horizontal or vertical, is connected to which pedal. You don't seem to need to calibrate the controllers in Windows as GP3 does it's own calibration and it's difficult to calibrate the pedals since you don't have a button to press. If you want calibrate the pedals, go to www.stickworks.com and get the file joyregs.zip. There is a utility in that zip called joyclick which will emulate a button click on the second controller. 4/ Run GP3. Go to Options/Controls/Advanced. 5/ Select a slot in the users sets and control driven calibration (this is important). 6/ Set controller type to wheel, steering device to Joystick A Horizontal, acceleration device to whichever axis on Joystick B had your accelerator, on my CH pedals the accelerator was the vertical axis, and brake device to the other axis on Joystick B. Reduce low sensitivity zone on brake and accelerator to a low value, 4 or 5%. Set your gear change etc as needed. 7/ Select Calibrate Joystick and follow the instructions. When instructed to press fire for the pedal calibration, a button on the wheel will work. 8/ Save your control set. You should now have split axis control. I hope this helps people get the best out of GP3.

Just make *another* entry in the game controllers screen, for your controller working normally. All you have to do then is select which controller for each game. Its not perfect, but it will work! 8-) *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html

I agree, it's bad design. But the same setup works fine for GPL & Rally Masters which are the only other games I play much, so I'm not concerned.
