Define switched?

Do you mean inverted?: Pressing the pedal reduces braking/acceleration, releasing the pedal applies pressure to the brakes/accelerator.
Do you mean swapped?: Pressing the brake presses the accelerator and vice-versa.

If you mean inverted:

Try clicking the invert button in LFS > Options > Controls > Axes/FF next to the brake and accelerator.



If you mean swapped:

You need to assign the brake and accelerator to the correct axis. You can do this in LFS > Options > Controls > Axes/FF. Click the accelerator button on the left, then press the accelerator pedal. Click the axis that moved. Do the same for the brake pedal.

The final CL8H test race takes place tomorrow, Saturday 2nd July at 19:30 UTC+1. This race will take the format of Sunday's race. There will be no qualifying, we will use the qualifying results from official qualifying. Other drivers may join at the back.

See you there!

Final Test Race - Saturday 2nd July @ 19:30 UTC+1: 2 Hour Race

Saturday's final test race will go ahead. Seeing as the main event on Sunday is now a 2 hour race we will use the qualifying results to form the grid and we'll run a full event length session.

See you there.

I know, Dave. I'm just surprised that a 'content' update (which everyone was praying for) comes along and then nobody gives a shit. It's a shame to see that the 8 Hours of Rockingham won't go ahead due to lack of interest when the same event on Westhill last year had a full grid.

Test race 4 cancelled due to lack of attendance

That's 3 events in a row we've had 2 people turn up.

RIP LFS.

I guess we could organise another, one night this week perhaps? So far only 3 people are online for tonight's so I'm not sure I can really be bothered to organise one mid-week.

In that case, I recommend you either clean your pedals out (if that's a simple job) or use DXTweak to adjust the deadzones.

There is a way but it will take some getting used to.

You can set your throttle and brakes to the mouse Y axis and your steering to the mouse X axis.

To do this:
  1. Set your controller to "wheel/joystick" (LFS > Options > Controls > At the top)
  2. Set "Throttle / brake axes" to separate
  3. Click the "Axes / FF" tab
  4. Click "Steer"
  5. On the right click "Mouse X"
  6. Now click "Throttle"
  7. On the right click "Mouse Y"
When you move your mouse from side to side you will steer and when you move your mouse forward and back you will gradually accelerate and decelerate. Note, you'll need to assign the brakes to a button. But that's horrible to be honest, here's a workaround:

If you want to accelerate and brake on the Y axis, set 'Throttle / brake axis' to combined and set the axes called 'Thr / Brk Combined' to 'Mouse Y' on the right. You will now be able to brake gradually by moving the mouse towards you from a central position, accelerate by moving it away from you and steer by moving it from left to right.

For example, when the mouse is all the way to the right and forward you will be turning hard right with full acceleration. When the mouse is central, you will be steering straight with no throttle or brake input. It's a lot to get your head around at first but I used to have a team mate who used this and he was really, really fast.

Enjoy!

Try each of these in order until they work again.
  • Restart LFS
  • Re-plug your pedals/wheel
  • Restart your PC
  • Re-calibrate your pedals in your profiler or in the USB Game Controllers window (Start > Control Panel > Setup USB Game Controllers)
If they still refuse to work properly, reinstall the driver software.
