DTR Controller probs

5 posts by 4 people · 05 Nov 1999 - 06 Nov 1999

I have the TM F1 (NASCAR Pro in the US) - the one with the switch on the pedal base to choose between combined and seperate axis. In DTR, RC and SR (all demos) I get no joy when using split axis. GPL, N2, ICR2 and even SCGT are fine. Basically, I can select my inputs OK but when it comes to driving, I get no power. Full on the loud pedal - nothing. Can't figure this one out. Only seems to be this newer stuff. Do recent FF wheels have some sort of differing tech for split axis that this new stuff is supporting at the expense of my kit? Any help is much appreciated.

Mark, I've got a similar problem with my setup. I'm using a CH Flightstick and CH Pedals Combo and in DTR I can get it to recognize the gas pedal and it seems to recognize the brake pedal when I calibrate and assign it, but once I get on the track only the gas pedal works. I finally had to resort to braking with the Joystick, but would really like to use the pedals. I hope someone has an answer. Later, Joe

I have a customized TM GP1 dual axis setup, wired like a TM F1. Is your DirectX setup OK? I believe most of the newer stuff uses Direct Input routines. If you calibrate and test ok in the Windows Control Panel controllers app, then you should be ok. It is important that in the test, you should not see the crosshairs jump around too drastically. I found the DTR input routine to be a little finnicky.. Try holding the pedals down half way while assigning them.. and check that they were not 'auto-re-assigned' before you exit.. worked for me! =rez=

I tried what you said, fully expecting it not to work, but you were absolutley right. Recalibrated, held pedals half way when assigning and hey presto! I guess I was thrown by other Direct Input apps working fine. Thankyou very much indeed! Mark Reading, UK

I was afraid of that, as PowerSlide didn't have split axis either. I'll see, just about finished downloading the demo, finally with 6kb/s, not 2... l8er ronny -- The box said "Windows 95 or better", so I installed LINUX! |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
