RT, ActLabs woes

I finally got around to installing Rally Trophy. I am having a hard time figuring out how to make it recognize my ActLabs ForceRS (serial) properly. By default, the car will not move until I first depress the brake pedal. After that, pressing the accelerator causes the car to rev and move forward. However, if I lift off the gas, the game acts as if I have slammed on the brakes. I made some changes to the input.ini file, swapping the positive and negative values of the y and z axis. This causes the brake and accelerator to be reversed. Braking and acceleration appear to be normal, just on the wrong pedal. Stymied, Gerald

Just swap the values for the brake pedal. I've just bought this game and tried it successfully with 3 pedal sets - the original MOMO items that go with the wheel I've got, the TM NASCAR Pros which are connected thru a gameport to USB converter in split mode, and the Act-Labs pedals my wife got me for Christmas - just to make sure they work :-) Mark Reading, UK

Well, what I did was go into the "configuration" screen and assign brake to my accelerator pedal and vice versa. Now to attempt to tweak the sensitivity and dead zones. Gerald "Mark Davison" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<apoc9p$p9n$[email hidden]>...

At least you got it going - that's the important bit! Mark
