Yes, even with brake and throttle on separate axis it still won't work when using the Triggers as by default the Triggers share one big - to + axis. So as I was saying when you assign the default Triggers to brake and throttle you can't have both brake and throttle applied at the same time, if you press both triggers fully it will give a zero value which means no brake or throttle.
Thankfully BeNoM's solution fixed this issue perfectly.
I have recently started getting back into Live for Speed, what a fun game, the mods are so much fun to play.
I'm having good fun using the Logitech f310 I recently acquired.
The one issue I found is with the trigger buttons. If the triggers are assigned to throttle and brake they can't be pressed simultaneously because they both share the same Z axis. If both triggers are pressed at the same time their values go to 0 which means no throttle or brake. It's possible to play like this but it isn't desired as it is a racing simulator sometimes you want alittle brake applied with the throttle.
I have searched quite abit but haven't found any simple fixes for this problem. I have came across some third party software and driver fixes for this but I'm not really comfortable trying them for various reasons. This - + Z axis trigger problem seems to be quite a big issue for alot of gamepad users, specifically for driving games.
I would think that the game developers could implement this fix into the game but if they ever will is another question.
So anybody have anything to share regarding this issue? I regret to say but I don't think there is much that can be done about this issue right now.
Currently I'm using right trigger as throttle and right stick as brake (forward) and clutch (right) with left stick as steering (left to right) and e brake (pull back)
L1 is shift up and R1 is shift down. Unfortunately because of this issue left trigger isn't assigned to anything.
Please share your comments regarding this
Thanks!
Edit #2- I should say that I'm using Xinput mode as opposed to Directinput. The Triggers are turned into button's in Directinput mode.
hey all i know most of you recommend the wheel/pedals but are the handheld controllers like a ps2 controller any better then using the mouse?
right now im using the mouse for steering and keys for gas/brake etc..
i play on a laptop and the wheel is out of the question for me.. dont wanna spend the cash and it wouldnt work cause half the time im playing im lieing down HA..
anyhow my question is.. am i better off getting a controller (recommendations please) or keep practicing with my mouse and keyboard?
