Re: F1RS Controller Set-up

What wheel do you use ? scrcs

Hi all, A friend has F1RS (I haven't played my copy for a long, long time). Everything is working fine except the steering. He recently changed controllers and the steering is totally vague at the centre and really only kicks in when you crank the wheel to the extreme. I thought I knew right away what the problem was: the steering limit button for keyboarders...except the button seems to have no effect. Whether it is on or off, you get the reactions in the wheel as though it is on. I remember tons of controller set-up issues with this title. Is there a config file that you have to delete to reset the game controller set-up or how would one get the steering back to "normal"? By the way, the FFB is working as is the split axis pedal set-up, which his previous wheel did not have, so some things got reset. Thanks, Marc. -- **************************************************************************** Marc Collins [email hidden] Computers will never equal humans until they make mistakes and blame them on other computers. ****************************************************************************

I have precisly this problem with F1RS and my Gravis Stinger, Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro (USB) and Microsoft Force Feedback Wheel. This is why I no longer play F1RS. Is there is a solution to this problem, I'd like to hear it, because I'm all out of ideas. Neo

What wheel do you use ? scrcs

I had the same problem with my MSFF wheel. The fix is to open one of the "ini" or "ifr" files in the game's directory on your hard drive, and you should see a line or section in the file that refers to "wheel" with a value of 0 (zero). Change this value on the "wheel" line from 0 to 1 and it will get rid of the huge dead zone. Sorry I don't have more thorough, I have not had this game installed on my system for a long time. This problem did not happen on any other wheels i've owned, just the MSFF.
