Problem with Logitech Controller..wrong axis

[Erik]

Hi Racers!
I'm new of this great games, and i have a problem.

I use an analogic controller, the Logitech Dual Action, the problem is with the sterring, turn "RIGHT" is ok, for turn "LEFT" i have to go "UP" why???

Another problem, the config not save.


MAc os x 10.4 (Imac 2ghz G5)
Thanks!

Sounds like you need to calibrate your controller, and then try assigning them again.

What version of VDrift are you using?

eh magari...
I have calibrate my controller hundreds of time. In the calibration screen, all is ok, when i move my controller Up or right or left, the axis go up right and left, exactly how I move them

When I Assign The Key in the control Car screen all seems ok, but in the game, the control are inverted or not working.

What version of VDrift are you using?

I Think the last, downloaded from Vdrift.net home page
Mac OS X 2007-03-23, full

Bye..and thanks

The problem could be that you're just bumping the joystick slightly UP when you're moving it LEFT during control assignment. If you just want to assign controls manually, edit the file called "controls" in your VDrift user settings folder with a text editor. On OSX, the path to the file is:

/Users/username/Library/Preferences/VDrift

You'll see something like:
steer_right joy 0 axis 0 positive etc etc etc

so then you know that your left/right joystick axis is axis 0, so you can set:
steer_left joy 0 axis 0 negative etc etc etc

Ok, i have found it.
I have found the controls in "control" files. Perfect...but not perfect.

If I launch Vdrift and assign the controls to the joystick (or keyboard), Vdrift write this prefs on the file "control" (i have made some test, and I have read this file a lot of time with a text editor), but then, on next launch, Vdrift not read the file "control" and the key are not assigned

and if I go to read the "control" files, is configurated... Why Vdrif write, but not read this file? The permission are ok, i have controlled them.

Thanks

OK, maybe i have solved. I have trashed all the Vdrift folder in /User/Library/pref... Vdrift have created a new one, and now read and write the "control" file.

This night i'll try to edit the file for The Logitech controller..
Stay tuned

You might try downloading the last version I built from the downloads section of http://cotharyus.net - it may solve a lot of problems.
