VROC & GPL problem

Hi all, I did a Google search and checked the help file but didn't see this addressed. When I join a game from VROC, in GPL my controller settings get messed up -- it gets thrown into single axis mode from split axis. Even if I try to recalibrate in-game I can't get throttle/brake working. However, if I join GPL normally the controller works fine. So VROC is screwing it up somehow. I am selecting the correct driver profile, and in the area where it says "override force feedback settings" I am NOT checking that. My wheel is a Logitech Momo (original version). Anyone know what's going on? Thanks!!

I've seen this problem brought up here before I think. IIRC it is down to the wingman profiler, which is set to gpl.exe, but when entering a race from vroc you need to point the profile at something else. Sorry I can't be more specific :-( Malc.

I've just done a quick google groups search on "vroc wingman profile*" (without the quotes). The first couple of hits suggest creating a profile for vroc itself: _______________________________ On Sun, 23 Jan 2000 10:50:10 -0800, Phil G. <[email hidden]> wrote: I had the same problem which was quite annoying, and my solution to it was to create a profile in Wingman Profiler called WinVROC and pointed it to the Winvroc.exe file in the Winvroc folder. Now everytime I execute Winvroc it loads the profile with it. The problem with the wingman profiler is that it launches the profile if you actually start the program yourself, if an application is used to start GPL ( like WinVROC)then Wingman Profiler doesn't know it is running and therefore the profile isn't loaded into memory even though Wingman profiler is in memory displayed on your system tray.

In case this has bitten anyone else on the arse, here is the solution: --- to get the MOMO (or any logi wheel using the profiler) to work with GPL in winVROC you need to make a profile associated with the GPLLaunch.exe file in the winVROC folder. make it identical to your GPL profile and you won't notice the difference or need to recalibrate. --- So you have to point the profile to GPLLaunch.exe and not vroc.exe. Another workaround is to apply your GPL profile as a "Persistent Profile".
