GPL -- Reversed Brake and Throttle

2 posts by 2 people · 10 Dec 1998 - 11 Dec 1998

Can anyone tell me why I am getting a reversed throttle and brake in GPL, when it calibrates correctly in Windows95 Joystick? I am using Joystick 1, Standard Gameport settings with a Gravis Grip in Pass-Through mode. I have reinstalled GPL and the Gameport Joystick several times, but they doesn't seem to be the solution. The problem is a persistant one and every so often, I stumble into the solution, but I can't recreate it. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, Keith Kramer

I am assuming you want to brake and accelerate using the same (throttle) control where:- Forward position is accelerate, Central Position is neither accelerate nor brake, and back position is braking. When you begin calibration, have your throttle control dead centre. Move the control to throttle forward position FIRST. Then move to brake position. Calibration label should now read: Throttle/Unassigned. Calibrate the other controls then press ok and in the new window assign the "Unassigned" (brake) by clicking on "Unassigned" and then slowly move your throttle to the brake position. This might take a few times to get it right. Robert
