Steering wheels and dos games

ACTLABS Force RS, Logictech WIngman Formula Force, Microsoft FF and Saitek R4. These appear to be the wheels of choice. Obviously GPL is one of the most used games (at least on this NG), but I also really want to play GP2 with a wheel, and be able to enjoy gear-changes and brake/accelerator with no problem. So, which of the above wheels are happy in the dos environmont? Thanks all, Craig **** Posted from RemarQ - http://www.remarq.com - Discussions Start Here (tm) ****

The MS FF works great in a dos-window. And with todays perfromance i guess the performance hit in GP2 isn't that big from running it in a dos-window. It won't work with N2 though. Pretty sad because i like the game, just have to wait a few more months for the new one whatever it is called. -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

The logitech works fine in Indycar Racing 2. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

The MSFF works with GP2, but I haven't worked out how to make it work with split-axis yet, anyone got any ideas on this. Mark London UK (tm) ****

You need to make a profile and set split axes in the Settings screen. Bart Westra

Yes I worked that bit out ok, but I cant work out how to set it up in GP2. it only allows you to set functions to X and Y axis.

Ok. In GP2 in control method make the following settings: Steering: Joy A Horiz Acceleration: Joy A Vert Brake: Joy B Horiz Clutch: Use gear change Change up: Joy A Fire 1 (represents the top left button on the wheel) Change down: Joy B Fire 2 (top right button) And select Control driven calibration Then calibrate. If you want to use the buttons on the back: Change up: Space Change down: Alt and assign those keys to the correct buttons in the Sidewinder profile. Good luck! Bart Westra

On Fri, 16 Jul 1999 15:23:34 +0100, GP2 can use more axes than that. It even supports an analog clutch axis. I suggest you try again. -- * rrevved at mindspring dot com * unit.26 - s.p.u.t.u.m. * http://www.cabal.net * http://www.sputum.com
