I'm using a MS Sidewinder Joystick to play LFS.
'Seperate axes' are enabled for Throttle/Brake.
Slider is assigned as Throttle, using one axis, and a button is assigned for braking.
Slider is working ingame (=green bar is shown when moving slider up-down), but when pushing the button, the brake bar (=red bar) is not showing and so the car is not braking.
When assigning the brake-button and pushing it in the options-screen it seems ok, but ingame it's not working.

Could it be fixed plz?

Devs,

It would be very nice to get this fixed, now this game is unplayable.
So:
Throttle/Brake are assigned as seperate axis
Slider = Throttle => working in control menu and ingame
Button = Brake => Lights up in the controls menu when assigned to brake, but ingame it isn't working.

Thx

don't u think "unplayable" is a bit too far? besides, usually, on cars which need fine throttle control, fine break control (as in using the other pedal for breaking) is helpfull too.

If you're having problems using your sidewinder with separate axis, just search the hardware forum.

regardless, if the scenario you're describing is accurate, it indeed should be fixed.

Hard doesn't mean unplayable. If you want the bug fixed, buy a wheel, cos the bug is your choice of controller

Wheels ARE lovely you know, and not that expensive...

It's in fact my brother who is playing with the joystick, I'm using MOMO Racing wheel on my pc

And yes, it's a 'bit' unplayable:
The slider is now used as a combined axis (slider up=throttle, down=brake), but braking is very difficult to control.
It's a bug, because you can map the slider AND the button at the same time, only the button is not reacting ingame

I use a sidewinder stick also. I have the throttle and brake on the slider control. This is what I would recomend you use. The slider control works very well for both brake and throttle. It wont take you very long at all to learn where neutral is.

This setup works very very well. Don't listen to the guys who insist you buy a wheel. You have enough equipment to be very competative and to stay competative in the future.

This is not to say that a wheel wouldn't be a better option, but some of us don't want to spend the cash for a wheel on a game we may not be interested in. Of course, that was my initial reasoning for not getting a wheel. The reason why I still don't have a wheel after playing the game for three years is because I don't want to have to relearn a new controler. Besides, it's fun when I tell people that I use a stick. Especialy when I tell them it's an old Sidewinder that doesn't have FF.

Yea, I read that and checked LFSW and I'd say you are interested in this game/sim after 63,137 miles of driving, haha. I was going to say something really sarcastic about the first comment there about "...may not be interested in." but that's only as far as I got when I clicked reply. Didn't read the rest on why you don't have a wheel, .

Hehehehe!
