N3/NL and MSFF

Well, I put to rest my old Grand Prix 1 steering wheel and purchased a MSFF. What a strange feeling having to actually use my feet for throttle and brakes :) Anyways, I can't seem to configure (in N3 and NL) the new wheel to use the paddles for the shifting, and using the buttons for this are more ackward than the paddles. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Oh yeah, the force feedback is very good, and it makes a real difference in the game.... Dave

Use the profiler and map two keyboard buttons that aren't reserved in N3 or NL to the paddles. In N3 choose the buttons you mapped for shifting. This trick works with many old racing games, eg. GP2 and ICR2. Hope this helps -- Olav K. Malmin remove spam when replying

Any help would greatly be appreciated. Use the Nascar Racing 2 profile that comes with the wheel. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

You need to assign the game controls to keyboard keys, and then set up a profile in the SideWinder to assign those controls to buttons. Yeah, it sucks :) For example, in N3 I have upshift assigned to PgUp and downshift assigned to PgDn. Then, I created a profile in the SideWinder software that assigns the right paddle to the PgUp key, and the left paddle to the PgDn key. Repeat for each control you want to assign. -Larry

with the wheel? It may not suck so much if you read the instructions.
