RC2000 3-Axis for LWFF and Thrustmaster F1

I pulled this (with some editing) off of the HG forum for those with a LWFF. It supposedly worked for some people there and may be a solution until the patch arrives. Create a file called ral.cfg in the 'var' directory of your installation. There's already a file called ral.zog, which is not the one you want. So create the file. Here is the code for the Logitech Wingman FF: joymode=3 ;set 3-axis mode joycode=0x01111000 ;Logitech Wingman FF For anyone with a Thrustmaster F1: joymode=3 ; set 3-axis mode joycode=0x01151000 ; thrustmaster f1 (Nascar Pro) separate pedals Highlight, copy and paste into your ral.cfg. Start the game, and choose the 3 axis wheel with pedals option. David G Fisher

Where did these codes come from? Do you have codes for all major wheel/pedal combos? Marc.

David, I have sent a message to MF stating that my Thrustmaster Force GT is working in 3-Axis mode and using the USB connection. Am I the only one who has 3-axis working? Andi.

One of the developers from MF posted them at the HG forum. Here's another post I just found: "The 3-axis code is broken. OK, slap my wrists (it did all work but errors crept in during systems integration - wasn't my fault but I'll take responsibility)." "I've just been fixing the broken 3-axis code and the bugs were in the setup code and not the read code so the settings available from the ral.cfg should fix it. Try these: joymode=3 ; set 3-axis mode joycode=0x02011000 ; new style RS (the default) joycode=0x11121000 ; old style RS joycode=0x01051000 ; sidewinder joycode=0x02051000 ; ch flightstick/pilotpro Other wheels might have different settings. Experiment. Each pait of digits is an axis. The last two are always 1000. First one is accelerator, second one is brake. You only need to try 01-06. If the axis is 'on' until you press the pedal use values 11-16. These are from memory so let me know if you still have problems (I suspect the latest sidewinder drivers - under investingation.) Note: these are global settings for all attached controllers. They way to do this would be to set 2-axis mode. Setup the buttons how you want them and then adjust the ral.cfg file. If you mess it up and have options you cannot alter delete the var\ral.dat file and try again. Will be redundant in the next patch... On another note, we have found the the sidewinder (drivers 3.0 and 3.02) + DX7.0 brings the system to its knees. DX6.1 does not exhibit this slowdown. Hope this helps you all until the next patch. The investigation continues..." David G Fisher

Any plan for 4axis ? Many users use Joystick 2 Axis X and Y for both gas and acceleration. Well, everybody using CH Pedals or any third party pedals. -- -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard> -- May the Downforce be with you...

Foes anyone have a working setting for the Logitech Wingman FF? Joe McGinn _________________________ GA-Sports Writer http://www.ga-sports.com/

Please tell me this will work with my TSW2mod The demo's have not recognized the three-axis wheel pedal combo. I should have my copy (shipped form http://www.InteractCd.com) on Monday Thanks

Ummm...read the original post (check title). Marc.

Well, I don't quite know why but after having tried various configurations with my MSFF I finally tried setting the profiler up with the pedals combined as 'Y' adn setting it as a 2 axis wheel + pedal in the sim. Low and behold when I started driving again the accelerator and brake where now working independently... Don't know why but I am certainly not complaining... Peter Hooper

This is the setup I am currently using.... when you say brings the system to it's knees what exactly do you mean... would it run faster under Dx6.1?? I currently run it on my P233MMX, 64mb RAM & 16mb Maxi Gamer Voodoo Banshee and have to say I am finding it not bad at all (as long as I use the bumper view...) Advice would be appreciated.

Should be right around the corner. Mr. Fisher *promised* full support for multiple controllers in his prerelease rants. Then again, I couldn't care less ... I'm done with this game. Hena

What a tragic loss. David G Fisher

Settings in the ral.cfg have no effect with my Logitech FF wheel, I still get -z axis reported for both brake and accel no matter what I set in the file. Whats that all about ??

So soon HH? Andrew. Then again, I couldn't care

I'm afraid so ... I tried to like this game, I really did. We (I) need a decent rally sim! But the horrible frame rate on my V3, oversensitive controls and the lack of 3-axis support, let alone multiple controllers' support and unrealistic driving and damage models ruin the game for me. -- Best regards, Hena H?kk?nen Remove NOSPAM to email me! > So soon HH? > Andrew. > Then again, I couldn't care > >less ... I'm done with this game. > >Hena

What is? The fact that there *won't* be multi-controller support or me giving up on the game? Lemmesee ... I don't think that my opinions or doings move you one bit, but you _should_ be able to stand behind your words on controller support. You were so sure back then ... what happened? A tragic loss?

Don't know whether this will help anyone else but I use a MSFF wheel and after trying the 3-axis setting and various things within my profiler without any luck I tried the 2-axis setting (with split axis set in the profiler) and now am able to drive with split axis pedals. Don't ask me how but it does work for me.... Peter Hooper
