NASCAR3 and Logitech ForceFeedback USB Wheel

Have you made a profile for N3?

Basically I can't get the two of them to work. I can get the steering part, but I can't use either of the pedals, nor the gear flippers. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks.

It works great for me, set the profiler for seperate pedal axis, go to the game and select Calibrate Joystick 1 and calibrate your wheel only and hit Enter. Now select Calibrate Joystick 2 and calibrate your pedals and hit Enter. Go back to the controls page and make your wheel, pedal and button assignments. Hope this helps, don [|]-(_)-[|] >Basically I can't get the two of them to work. I can get the steering part, >but I can't use either of the pedals, nor the gear flippers.

David, how can a profile help getting the lwff wheel and ch pedals combo to work? Andre On Fri, 17 Sep 1999 23:07:47 +0100, "David Cane" >Have you made a profile for N3?

You don't need a profile. But you do *NEED* to calibrate joystick #1 in the options/control menu. I have my LWFF on ID#1 in the joystick control panel applet and do not use split axis. It should work the same for you as it did for me. After you calibrate then you simply select the steering, brake, gas and shifting levers. I put reverse on the upper right button. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >> Have you made a profile for N3? >I've never made a profile for any game.

It can't. How did the CH pedals get into the equation anyway? -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >David, how can a profile help getting the lwff wheel and ch pedals >combo to work? >Andre >On Fri, 17 Sep 1999 23:07:47 +0100, "David Cane" >>Have you made a profile for N3?

Yes it is essentially the same as GPL in this respect. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >It works great for me, set the profiler for seperate pedal axis, go to the >game and select Calibrate Joystick 1 and calibrate your wheel only and hit >Enter.

No dice. I can calibrate the wheel, but again, all I can select is the steering - no buttons, paddles or pedals work. A couple of things: I'm using the DirectX drivers, since I have an AMD K6/2. I'm going to try swapping the devices around, and see if that solves anything. But I wish it'd just work, damnit! Thanks again for the help.

That didn't work, so I'm still stuck using the Gamepad... Andy Backa The only skills I have the patience to learn are those that have no real application in life. - Calvin and Hobbes Chewey Pages: http://home.istar.ca/~chewey

Using the CH pedals (split axis) and joystick in the game port and the LWFF wheel and pedals (split axis) in the USB or serial port requires at least 8 axis's be recognized by the game. GPL automatically adds axis's as required but because N3 only seems to support 4 axis's you cannot use the CH Pedal and LWFF together without hard wiring the CH into the wheel in place of the standard LT pedals. Why Papy took a step backwards in controller hook ups is a mystery to me. I hope I'm wrong in this and have just missed something simple. If I am please someone tell me what it is. -

I don't think you are wrong....sadly this is a major disappointment for me as well, since I use my Propedals occasionally as rudders and don't want to hardwire the Logictech Pedals into them. Very dumb move on Papyrus' part. Maybe a patch can fix that down the road...hint, hint. >Using the CH pedals (split axis) and joystick in the game port and the LWFF >wheel and pedals (split axis) in the USB or serial port requires at least 8 >axis's be recognized by the game.

My God... I thought the way GPL recognizes axes would become a standard for games. And now even Papyrus themselves don't use it for Nascar 3? Hello? What a bummer... Papyrus: PATCH! PATCH! PATCH! (but complete the GPL 1.2 patch first please :) Andre
