Need help with GPL controller setup

Hi folks, I have three USB controllers connected to my machine: - TM HOTAS Cougar - Logitech Driving Force Pro Wheel (just the wheel, no pedals) - Plasma Lite USB V2 Board connected to my TSW pedals Now, when I try to assign controllers in Grand Prix Legends, GPL only seems to detect two controllers (the cougar stick and the pedals), but not the Momo DFP wheel. All other racing sims work fine with this setup and allow me to assign the steering axis to the DFP, but not GPL. I'd appreciate any hints on how to make GPL see the DFP instead of or in addition to the Cougar. Thanks in advance & all the best, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

What order are they listed in Windows Control panel? Is GPL seeing only the first two devices? Andi. "Uwe Sch�rkamp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Hi Andi, they're listed in the above order, and the pedal axes work fine. I'd rather not crawl under the desk and unplug the cougar every time I might want to fire up GPL, and as other sims have no problems finding the DFP I wonder if GPL can be brought to do the same?

You have scrolled through all the pages on the GPL calibration menue?

The wheel may have to be the first device, which I think you can assign in the control panel. There's also a selection there for which device to use with older games, it may be that needs to be set differently. I bet our friend Bernd would know the answer. Andi.

Uwe, the simple solution is to use GPLShift which allows more axes to be recognized. Find this utility at http://www.gplshift.dk/ The line Share_All_16_AXES = 1 that you need is near the bottom of the ini file. It's not just for enabling an H-shifter in GPL. You can use it to change FOV too. Bob Simpson

Hi Bob, that worked rather nicely, but now I cannot assign the shifter buttons to *any* button on the wheel. The steering axis is detected ok now, but not the buttons. Any ideas on how to fix this one? Thanks for your help, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

Buy a USB extension cable, so you can more easily unplug the cougar.

What do you mean by "assign the shifter buttons"? You mean the paddles? In GPLShift.ini set the first option to None since you're not using an H-shifter. Otherwise it expects to be detecting a shifting device, I think.

Hi again, I just tried setting the shifter to NONE, but still none of the wheel buttons work. Do I have to re-run gplshift after making changes to the gplshift.ini file? Cheers, uwe -- GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61

No, you shouldn't have to. First check that in the Control Panel > Game Controllers window, the buttons are active. Could it be that the Logitech Profiler has conflicting button assignments? Try turning the profiler off if it was on. If the buttons are active in the Game Controllers window, but not in GPL, I'm stumped for now. If you run GPLpatch.EXE again, you can unpatch GPL (rerunning it will repatch it later) and you can see if the buttons can be configured.
