GPL : Prob with direct input and ActLabs Force RS Wheel

3 posts by 2 people · 01 Jan 1999 - 03 Jan 1999

Hello. Just purchased this wheel 2 days ago and I cant calibrate it in GPL using direct input. The wheel works fine with other games like F1RS. I'd like to know if the prob comes from my config or from GPL. Could another Force RS owner tell me how it works on his own CPU with GPL. I had no prob with my former Thrustmaster GP1 Wheel, using direct input in GPL. Thanks a lot for your help. Thierry Cailleteau

If you have the Force RS configured in your win95 joystick panel, it should work in GPL. In the GPL controls menu, pick "direct input" and calibrate. It should let you calibrate both axes again, and assign them. I never had any trouble calibrating or assigning in GPL, but the auto-centering never worked. Do the latest drivers make the wheel auto-center in GPL? -- ------------------------------------------------------ IMPACT Motorsports http://www.impactmotorsports.com/pd.html ------------------------------------------------------
I just received the following answer from ActLabs techsupport : "Hello, At this time, the virtual spring feature becomes disabled by most non-FF games as they take over the controller driver from windows. We and Immersion are working on a fix (updated driver). I cannot really speculate as to when this will be available. Regards, Zenon"
