Hello Using the new pedals from Act Labs and the shifter how do I configure them in RT ? Right now clutch is throttle and one button on the wheel makes the car move for about 1 second then go back to neutral... I have restarted this and I remembered why I had given up, the controller setting is the WORST of all games, even worse than F1 2001. Thanks for the tips

Well, the problem for me is that the pedals do not appear on the controller settings in the game, and if I try to calibrate and go back to the "windows" controller with the act labs picture I don't know what to do... Nobody has done a controller patch editor for this game ? Thanks

Interesting...Andy Mahood of PC Gamer magazine specifically recommended Rally Trophy amongst a list of games in an article in the December issue. Maybe you could send him some flame mail over it? :-)

Well, no doubt the game is good, but the controller seting issue is such a piece of crap Frankly with GPL being released in 98 I don't see why ANYBODY would use a different system than the one used by papy....

Agreed. The RT pedal setup is a pain but what you need to do is set your pedals to 'separate mode instead of 'combined' mode. I have a MSFF wheel and the only way to do this is through their config software so hopefully your Act Labs setup allows you to change your pedal mode and then you should be good to go. -Tim "Txl" <txl@@free.fr> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hello > > Using the new pedals from Act Labs and the shifter how do I configure them > in RT ? > > Right now clutch is throttle and one button on the wheel makes the carmove

It's been a while, but I remember battling this one out, and eventually finding that the only way to do it was by editing input.ini in the Settings folder. Then the problem was that the labels in the file for the X Y Z axes were in the wrong order. A lot of trial and error needed! HTH, Laurence

Do some more searching on this NG. I had this same problem, and eventually sorted it out from posts here. You will need to edit the ini to make it work with the Act-Labs unit. Every once in a while I think of installing RT on my new rig, but it is just this issue (having to figure out again how I made it work the first time) that makes me not do it. Just no time to fool with one more thing lately. I got a LOT of mileage out of the game, once I figured it out, so it is very much worth it to persevere if you've never played the game. Good luck, Gerald

Simple. Either they think they can do better on their own, or they don't want to ask for help. It's strange though that there were very few complaints(that I can remember) about Papy's controller setup, but a BUNCH about others(notably EA). But, since I'm not a programmer, I have no idea how difficult it is to program that. It might be a total BITCH to do, and Papy just got lucky.
