Re: Config stick with USB pedals??

I haven't played SBK 2000, but I think the game needs to support inputs from multiple controller ID's for that to work. Some games only support one, and some games go even further than that by only supporting the controller on ID1. I ran into this problem with Mechwarrior 3, and have to move my wheel out of ID1 to be able to play it with the joystick. Tim On Mon, 3 Apr 2000 21:54:52 +1000, "Capp" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Set the joystick as controller 1, the wheel/pedals as controller 2, then follow the setup in sbk2000. I have done this with my logitech pedals and seitek stick, it also works in gp500. Jim Tim O. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I am trying to setup my microshaft non ff USB wheel's pedals and a standard joystick that plugs into the gameport. I want to be able to use the joystick to turn and the pedals to accel and brake. Wot should I set it up in the control panel as to get this to work succesfully? I have found that using the wheel in SBK 2000 is too wierd for me and would like to try it using that setup. Any help would be appreciated to make this work. -- See U on the Track, Jon Campbell #46 N3AC Director http://www.ozemail.com.au/~koorie ASRG http://www.powerup.com.au/~philmak/ASRG.htm

It depends on the game. For Nascar 3 this will work if you configure your pedals as joystick ID 1 and your joystick as joystick ID 2. This is done in the Game Controllers/Advanced window. You have to do it every time because for some reason, at least with my Logitech WM Extreme Digital 3D, it always boots up at ID 1 and the CH Pedals come in on ID 2. So you have to swap them prior to playing N3. . Dirt Track Racing only supports one joystick ID so this combo can't be used. Whatever joystick is in ID 2 is ignored. In GPL, IIRC, you have to put your joystick in 1 and your pedals in 2. . Both my controllers are USB. I have the CH Pro Pedals. I wish I could play DTR with this setup :-( . www.chproducts.com has been promising a combo driver which will allow both controllers to appear on a single joystick ID. Bit they have been promising this for quite some time. . I wish Logitech would write one since they don't sell pedals separately, for chrissakes. BTW their "use external pedals" checkbox doesn't work for me. It is grayed out when I use USB for both controllers. When I put the joystick in the game port, it is not grayed out, but it doesn't detect my pedals when I check it. . But this is all probably some grand marketing strategy to make sure all your controllers are Logitech, or CH, or whatever. . I am hoping future games will provide multiple joystick support by default but we will see. . -- Doug Appleyard "Got us a Dirt Track Date! Demolition derby, figure 8!"
