Hi all,
I recently discovered how to use your iPod touch or iPhone as a controller for LFS. It is very easy to set up if you follow these steps.

I recently discovered how to use your iPod touch or iPhone as a controller for LFS. It is very easy to set up if you follow these steps.
First of all
This only works IF
- Your PC runs XP/Vista (MUST be 32bit, it does NOT work with 64bit)
- You have a personal wireless network (with router)
- Open the AppStore on your apple device, and search for "ZooZ control Pro" There is a free version, but this version is not compatible with LFS, so don't waste your time. The Pro version costs around £1.20, which is not too much.
- Go to www.zoozcontrol.com and download the PC host software.
- Then install the software provided (On my laptop this worked fine, but the drivers would not work on my desktop :really
- Open the application on your apple device. It will give you an IP adress
- In the ZooZ application, click 'connect to iPod/iPhone' and enter the IP shown on your apple device
- When it is connected, you are now ready to set up your controller. There are two simple ways to do this:
- You can steer by tilting the device from side to side, and use buttons for throttle and brake. This is very simple to set up. Under the accelerometer heading on your pc program, ensure that 'Map to X/Y axis' is ticked. Then set whichever buttons you choose (i use 5 and 6) to be throttle and brake. Then open LFS, then to the options menu, and where is says 'Throttle and Brake axes', click buttons, then assign the relevant buttons.
- You can steer by tilting the device and accelerate and brake by tiliting the device back and forth. To do this, do exactly the same as above, but where it says 'Throttle and Brake axes' in LFS, click combined instead. Then set up other buttons like horn, handbrake, gear shifts etc.
