Problems with GPLShifter in GPL

Hey all, I wonder if anyone's run into this problem before: Setup: - "generic" CH gameport wheel (shows up as "2 axis 4 button joystick") - pedals still attached, but busted and not used. - Act-Labs Performance Pedals + clutch (USB) - Act-Labs GPL Shifter (USB) - Win2k Pro - ACT LABS Shifter/Clutch Utility This setup is working a treat in GTR2k2 and RT (only other two I've tried so far), but I'm having problems with the controller setup in GPL. The wheel axis is recognised, and so is the clutch. No joy with the throttle and brake, though. In the GPL calibration screen, they don't respond, even though the clutch pedal can be calibrated normally. I've made sure that I'm on the right calibration screen (i.e. the second page of axes). Doesn't seem to matter how I fiddle with the controller IDs, either. Before I bought the shifter, the wheel and pedals worked correctly in GPL. Any suggestions gratefully accepted. Thanks! - Doug

I have the shifter and have to say that it is not at all clear how to best integrate it into the games,i have been met with often sarcastic replies to all my problems along the lines of.... "Did you remember to press Page Up-Alt-Tab-End-Num Lock-F7-Spacebar and drink Tequila all at same time then it configures perfectly.....!

Go here to get JSJ's GPLShift+. http://home.worldonline.dk/7471000/, Patch your gpl.exe, edit the gplshift.ini file with this: Share_All_16_AXIS = 1 DisableUSBshifter2AXIS = 1 This allows you to share ALL GPL 16 AXIS between 5 active Game Controllers, instead of only 2 (first & last). It also will prevent GPL USB Shifter from using 2 AXIS, so these can be release to other game controllers. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm

Like the FOV, mapping shift-r, replay button to wheel, etc. Even if you don't have a shifter, this util is indispensible. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm

If you've got the GPL Shifter working in GT2K2, I'd appreciate learning the exact settings you're using.... I have it on ID#2 (in Win 98SE) and can't seem to get it to work.... TIA Doug Olsen wrote:

Well, I don't think I did anything special -- it pretty much worked out of the box. My shifter's currently on ID 1, but I don't think that makes a difference for me -- I've been fiddling around with the IDs, and never had a problem in GTR2K2. I'm running the "Act Labs Shifter Utility" 2.2 beta in the background. The shifter settings in there are the defaults (picked my shifter in the list/ standard gear pattern/use 7th as highest...and I'm using "direct support".

Hmm..... Those are exactly my settings, except that I'm using Version 2.1. Where did you find the 2.2 beta? Also, what are your controller settings within the game? I have Shift-Up and Shift-Down pointing towards the paddle shifters on my LWFF. What are your pointing at? Thanks! Doug Olsen wrote:
