GPL and thrustmaster T2

I just got GPL, and I'm trying to get my T2 to work with the game. The game recognizes the pedals, they work just fine. However, it refuses to recognize the wheel for steering inputs. The wheel does work in other windows games, including SODA, so it isn't a windows problem. I have the thrustmaster propanel and everything. If anyone has any input at all, i would highly appreciate it. This is driving me absolutely nuts!

Try the "Generic" setting instead of Direct Input on the control setup screen. That is what I had to do with my T2 and it worked fine. Todd Walker
Hmmm ... my T2 works just fine with DirectInput driver, plugged to a PCI soundcard. In calibration screen, do you see wheel axis? Or do you see just one axis for the pedals? Hena

Thank you to everyone for the responses...I am currently using the integrated yamaha soundcard on my dell computer...I have a thrustmaster acm in the computer but it is not currently installed. Direct input doesn't seem to work, and I can calibrate two axes. However, when I go to set the steering inputs, GPL won't recognize that I am turning the wheel, although it will calibrate the steering axis. Is there an .ini file I can manually edit? Thanks, Mark Haseltine

When you say it refuses, to accept steering for input, does this mean that it does calibrate the wheel? Did you only turn left when you selected steering? Are you using direct input? Is the box for poll with interupts unchecked in the game controllers applet? What range are you getting when you calibrate the wheel and pedals? Both direct input and generic. -- **************************** Michael E.

Thanks for the interest, but I got it to work. I just plugged in my MS Precision Pro and set up the steering with that. Seems to work fine... btw, I was using the direct-input, since generic didn't help before. Yes the poll with interrupts check-box was cleared. I'm not quite sure why you asked which way i was turning the wheel. Anyway, it works now. Mark Haseltine
