TSW users and brake not being recognized in GTR

GTR demo not recognising TSW brake pedals

Kevin King could not get the GTR demo to recognise the brake on his gameport TSW wheel under Windows XP, and a BRD pedal owner had the same issue. Suggestions included the TSW USB upgrade kit, holding the brake at startup and Uwe Schuerkamp's tweak. A fix from TSW was eventually posted: lightly hold the throttle while assigning the brake axis.

anyone find a resolve to this issue for GTR? -- Kevin
I have a TSW2, had no issues with cailbration. Running XP, TSW is already configured in Windows controllers as 4 axis. Launched GTR, assigned controller functions.. I have the non USB version ie; 15 pin gameport old school edition, lol On Mon, 10 May 2004 13:08:06 -0700, "Kevin King" <[email hidden]> wrote:

Man........see I have a TSW 2 Stock with the gameport, I've had it since N4.

I only ask as I have a TSW2 Cup, older, gameport model, that just would not coexist with WinXP Pro worth a darn. Had to order the USB upgrade kit, and once I got it and installed it, everything went back to working fine. Calibrates fine, works fine now. This is really just FYI, I haven't tried GTR and all my experience thus far with the TSW2 has been in NASCAR Racing titles and GPL.
My BRD gameport Pro Pedals (which are configured as 4 axis in windows) cant get GTR to recognise the brake pedal either. :( pez "Kevin King" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:vURnc.14060$A27.12183@fed1read06... > Man........see I have a TSW 2 Stock with the gameport, I've had it sinceN4. > When I go into GTR I have everything but brakes, it automatically assignsit

im on xp pro, my accel is the vertical axis in the first two axis thing in the controller config, and my brake is one of the rudders. n2003 can see my brake, but f1c and gtr cant. pez "Pez" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:LLSnc.1675$[email hidden]... > My BRD gameport Pro Pedals (which are configured as 4 axis in windows)cant

Then that may or may not hurt him, but mine wouldn't calibrate properly, and was jittery/twitchy when it did work, in any sim/game. USB upgrade fixed it. TEI has some info on gameport/TSW/WinXP issues on their website the last time I checked, though I'm not sure if that alone would fix his issue with a demo. >"B Wegner" <[email hidden]> wrote in messagenews:aPadnWA_8dRsnD3dRVn->[email hidden]... >He's got XP....

I think that's what he is gonna have to do - that upgrade is worth the money. Wag "SimRacer" <nospam@[email hidden]> wrote in message news:KyTnc.11248$[email hidden]...

I run XP PRo and use the onboard gameport.

I think the clutch is helping you, due to how it sees the axis.

Did you try holding the brake pedal down while the game was starting? I haven't played any EA games in awhile but I think I had to do that to get the brake to work in the game... Steve Bycroft "Kevin King" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:caXnc.14249$A27.8319@fed1read06...

Not *all*, and not for everyone. I had the problem with F1 2000cs(F1 2001 maybe?), but I haven't had it with any game since then... The controller setups all worked perfectly. I've had the same wheel for all that time. Like any other game it's pretty weird that some people have problems, and others don't - even with the same hardware.

My joystick is setup as a 3-axis device, not 4 as others have stated.

Hey Kevin, Try this. When setting all the axes in the GTR game controls, slightly hold down the gas pedal, and then assign the brake pedal control by pressing the brake pedal. I was having the same problem with the game not seeing the brake pedal, and a good friend of mine called Dave @ TSW and they came up with this fix. Apparently the slight jitteriness of the gas pedal axis "throws off" the GTR calibration.....hope this helps... TSRanimal Proud member of Team Stealth Racing at www.teamstealth.com
