CMR3 Demo

A few other concerns about the Demo-- Mainly, the fact that split axis does not work. I have to go into my wheel settings (LWFF, Red) and set the axis for combined. That's the only way things work. If I don't do that, stages begin with the accelerator revved and the brake and gas are reversed. Doesn't matter if I flip the two in the settings in CMR3. Steering is awful, from what I can see. I haven't messed with the steering settings at all, though. Force Feedback is bad. Demo, I realize. Also, if anyone wants me to post the demo on, say, alt.binaries.simulators.autos I can do so. Thanks, Alanb

OMG...another title without split axis...the sure sign of a useless console port without even the slightest hint of realism.

Yeah, if this is 95% done as they say, then I won't be wasting my money. Too bad...I'm ready to spend :-) "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:y0xBa.44163$[email hidden]... > A few other concerns about the Demo-- > > Mainly, the fact that split axis does not work.

Granted, I've never programmed a full game before, but is proper controller configuration really that hard to program? I see no reason why split axis isn't supported in games if manufacturers are making split axis pedals... Analog Clutch support, I can almost understand... now that's something fairly rare. I love the way LFS handles controller config. You see all the axises (or whatever :)) and all their labels. You can move them realtime so you can see which is which. Then you can assign each to whatever function you want, and you can reverse and split the axis if it is wired in an opposite direction. That takes care of all possibilities as far as I'm concerned. Plus there's all sorts of other options to control deadzone, and rates and curves and all that. But I'm just talking about being able to assign the axis to the function and how easy it is.

Nope, not really. Mine is not perfect, but it works alot better than GP4 for example (i cant get my actlabs pedals to work at all). All the best, Ash http://www.siroccoracing.com

No it's not. Papyrus have had it right for years, Netkar has it right, Ash's Sirrocco (sp?!?!) has it right Doug

Yup.. Sirocco has it right too... There's a lot to be said for -NOT- having something so terribly dumbed down that most of the options are missing. Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "Doug Ellison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bb7jfl$6lk99$[email hidden]...

Yeah, actually you do make a good point. The LFS interface could really use a whole new layout or approach. But, my comment wasn't in that.. it was in the CONTENT and how things are done. It's -all- there and everything can be set up really well. But yeah, after spending tons and tons of time doing websites and trying to get the best and most logical layout for options and buttons and finding ways of displaying information without clutter, that LFS interface could use work. But hey.. it does work.. Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "ThermosBoy (TM)" <.@.> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
