Problems with Wheel and Rbr demo
Hi,
I thought I should try the rbr demo, and I looks very interesting. So, I looked up my ancient Thrustmaster Formula T2 wheel (analog, with separate pedals for throttle and brake) Removed the dust from the wheel and hooked it up to my precious game station (pc). Added and calibrated it in control panel (using xp sp2), and started up the Rbr demo. And here the fun-Sunday begins (time flies). I go into the control options, and whatever I try, the x-axis, is when I centre the wheel, completely 2 the right, and when I steer to the left, it's centred (would have been normal after me driving and crashing ) y-axis, I choose the combined throttle/brake option, and here kinda same story. with no pedals touched, it's full brake, and when throttle fully pressed, it's 80% throttle. I know it's an ancient wheel, but in the control panel of xp, it seems 2 be fully functional. I also googled, found some problems concerning FF and Thrustmaster wheels, but nothing about my specific problem... Any suggestions next to buying a new wheel? Tia, Xander |

I got rid of that wheel several years ago cause of poor game
compatability problems. Get yourself a Logitech Momo FF, you'll thank yourself big time after a few wonderful gravel powerslides in RBR. FF is amazing in this game!!

Ignore Destroy, <VBG>
just like he ignoreed your post--> (Any suggestions next to buying a new wheel) Here is probably the problem, in a generalized nutshell. find the latests and greatest drivers for the wheel, or are you using XP? If so, might be tough luck there... XP doesnt seem to like the gameport as well. next thing could be dirty pots. Second, RBR likes Seperate pedals, in the readme inside RBR (full version I think), I thought that I read that the game looks for the controller and tries to uncheck the "combined" axes for pedals. So why not start with the wheels setup like the game wants it? IF yo do this, you will probably need to uninstall, delete the demo dir, then reinstall? (I dont know an easier way, but Im sure others here might iknow exactly what files to get rid of, so you dont have to delete & reinstall the demo). PS TM wheels & drivers were/are just lousy, you might have better luck & Enjoyment if you ebay them away (like Destroy said), & Ebay replace with some better wheel-pedals Xander Vlasveld enlightened us with: > "Destroy" > wrote in message > ... >> I got rid of that wheel several years ago cause of poor game >> compatability problems. >> >> Get yourself a Logitech Momo FF, you'll thank yourself big time >> after a few wonderful gravel powerslides in RBR.

Calibrated again.. booted up rbr, and no reaction at all from the level meters in options. Tried Cmr 2005, and yes, in the options they worked perfectly.I even could "steer" my way true the menus. Started the race, and completely nothing... ahhhhhhhh.. I know that a new steering wheel probably will cure my problems.. it's just that i want to try the games a bit first ) And i'm a system engineer, so i love solving problems, haha... ok, gonna try some more things, will let you know how it goes.

Xander,
I would, if you havent already remove the demo, delete the dir it was in, or if in the game, (only have it at home) there is a button to redetect input devices? also, if you click on the controller assignments you can then change them, as the game waits for an input. At that point you might be able to figure out which "axis" is doing something funny? I personally never had this problem, I have XP SP2, but I have the MS wheel (force), so I only read the 20 or 30 posts of others having the problem, more like skimmed. Most seemed to fix using some util to fix how Direct X saw and passed the values of the inputs. search for that DXtweak & RBR, via google on this group maybe?

Just installed CMR 2005 demo, exactly the same problem..
so probably some winxp sp2 + thrustmaster problem... Tried to download the w2k/xp driver from thrustmaster site, but that file doesn't seem to download correctly... Will try tomorrow.. Olla, Xander |
