NFS6: Custom Controllers and definitions.ini file ?

The NFS6 demo doesn't recognize my brake pedal (custom 3-axis controller under WinXP). It looks like it may be possible to edit the controller definitions.ini file manually to get it to work, has anyone figured out the format? thx much! rms [email hidden]

Good news, managed to edit definitions.ini to make it work with split-axis. For my MSFFB I changed the entry to: [joystick 5] name = Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel (USB) button0 = kTxtAButton2 button1 = kTxtBButton2 button2 = kTxtCButton2 button3 = kTxtXButton2 button4 = kTxtYButton2 button5 = kTxtZButton2 button6 = kTxtLeftPaddle button7 = kTxtRightPaddle axis0 = 0,left,127,0,kTxtWheelLeft axis1 = 0,right,127,255,kTxtWheelRight axis2 = 1,down,255,0,kTxtGasPedal axis3 = 5,down,255,0,kTxtBrakePedal This now assigns axis3 to be real axis 5 on the wheel, which is my brake pedal. Hope this helps, Ade.

Is anyone having pedal issues with a Logitech MOMO?

Okay, I tried playing with the definitions.ini file to make the split axis work with a TSW2 stock wheel. No luck. I thought I had it figured out, but it doesn't work. From the in-game config. menu, the steering is on axis0 right and axis0 left. The brake is axis5 up and the gas is axis 6 right. From looking at the other entries in the file, it appears that "left" and "up" have values of "127,0" and that "right" and "down" have values of "127,255". However, when I plug these values in, I get the same response from the game. I start a race and the tach is pegged, like the gas is floored, even though the pedal isn't depressed. Once the race starts, the car immed. goes into reverse and accels quickly. If I press the brake, the car slows and then stops and goes forwards. The gas pedal is acting like a brake. Can anyone offer a solution for the TSW2? Also, can the Act Labs shifter be used with NFS6? Lawman

return defective game. do not pay to beta test their product.

Just a thought, but try this... Go into controllers settings in the game, but when defining the accelerate and brake hold the pedal down fully before clicking, and then release so that the game recognises the pedal moving back up as being the control you wish to use. Worked for me... TechAde.
