N3: Configuring Freestyle Pro?

5 posts by 2 people · 01 Oct 1999 - 03 Oct 1999

I have a Sidewinder Freestyle Pro, and I tried to get N3 to configure it, but it tells me to "steer left then right" and when I do that it just uses the Y axis (up and down) to steer left and right for some reason. Even turning off the sensor and using the directional pad doesn't work. Is there a way of manually configuring the Freestyle pro instead of their crappy "automatic" method?

Make sure you don't have any other controllers connected.

I've used the Freestyle Pro a couple of times with N3, no problems. It was just to check it out, I normally use my MS FF Wheel...

I had to calibrate it within N3 before N3 would recognize it, then set the left/right steering with the sensor off. It now works properly.
