Beta 4.0.23 problem

[Paraglandeur]

The 4.0.23 joystick button is a great idea..... but it doesn't work with my Guillemot Racing Wheel ForceFeedback.
Meanwhile, my MS FF Joystick works perfect, i can assign a button for centering the TIR.

Any idea ?

I am frustrating because using buttons is usefull using a racing wheel, because we are often far away the keyboard.

To add to the wheels that do work with the Dx assignment of buttons, Logitech Momo Force+BRD speed7 pedals.

Paraglandeur,

I am not familiar with the wheel that you described, I have to make do with the Microsoft version at home.

Does your wheel come with a software interface very much like the Microsoft version where it will allow you to assign specific keys. This has worked on mine with no issues.

Wayne I think you will find it in the US as the Thrustmaster wheel.

1rst, thanks for yout quick answer
2nd : no, i can't assign action to specifics key. The racing wheel interface is quite simple : calibrate axes, test buttons, and set the FF forces.

If it can help you : this racing wheel is okay with alls games (olds and new) like GPL, Viper Racing, F1 Racing, and the GTR Demo.

You can find product info in this page :
http://ts.thrustmaster.com/eng/index.ph ... d=33&cid=6

The correct product name is
"Thrustmaster Force Feedback Racing wheel"
Perhaps you can contact the Thrustmaster's technical service... I think that this whhel doesn't use DirectX standard button assignement, and use there own driver.
Thank for helping us (and apologies my poor english language)

Wayne, looking at the Thustmaster web site, i found a programm called "Thrustmapper" witch is intend to assign various actions to buttons - I'll install and test it this night, and send you feedback.

Eric Davidson from NaturalPoint has looked at the problem, see topic:

Using a test version it works now with my Momo Wheel.

Hopefully a new version will be available soon that fixes the wheel button problem.

Great, Eric Davidson's programm fix works fine.
My racing wheel's buttons are all functionals.

Good job. Thanks a lot.
