well I do know that ffshifter doesn't emulate straight keypress, but like directinput or something, so it essentially can't press the button for the gear when you hit t for chat (but since it isn't emulating actual keypress, it doesn't put letters into the chat). so you might just not be able to have the car in gear if you have the chat box open

hey dude, glad you finally found an ffshifter school had me so busy, sorry for not telling you.

as for your problem, check if any of your virtual buttons are mapped to T. that's the only thing I could think of...

Need to know ASAP

If you get a gameport microsoft sidewinder precision 2 joystick with a gameport to usb adapter, will the ffb still work??

I didn't want to reply to this post because I thought it would make it seem like I tell you lies or try to convince you to buy from me instead of others

as far as I know, ffshifter does not support gameport versions of joysticks at all, whether in a gameport or with an adapter. i think there is this software called JJshifter that does but don't quote me on that

Quote from Killer Beast :

@ benny

By the way
Is it possible for you to find the original handle as i want to use the buttons on the joystick and do not want to pay for a gear knob as i am on a quite tight budget and i also need to buy some pedals for the clutch

Shiv

sorry mate but I bought that joystick just like that, I took the shifter knob from my old dfp but I have to sell that so I removed it...

ps: post office tommorow

Quote from Killer Beast :

Ok.

could you PM me your address (with postal code and all that) thx

Quote from Killer Beast :

Hi

i think the shipping prices are realllly high. Over £30 from here to USA so I think we should just forget about it. Ill get one off ebay

wow really? i don't remember it being that much (I was sent a small package from a friend in germany for like $15-20 US). let me go to my post office and ask them what the cheapest would be. I will let you know

Quote from PcmciaKai :

Thanks alot, so if you dont use autoclutch, it also goes to 0 if you chat? :o

Gawd, youre layouts make my joystick flop around, lol, you really should try mine, as it runs smooth. Why did you enable auto center anyways?

anotheredit: just tested, if i chat, it still goes to gear zero, even with ur keys and autoclutch on. the heck?

i can't really try it right now, but I don't remember that happening to me... maybe your setup or something :P

Quote from PcmciaKai :

What the heck? Please tell me how do I fix. Can you make a screen of your FFShifter settings? And what keys are you emulating with FFShifter, and are you using autoclutch?

I did use auto-clutch. I changed a few of the keys that ffshifter emulates.

1 - U
2 - I
3 - O
4 - X
5 - C
R - B

I have also attached my entire FFshifter folder with my force fields

Quote from PcmciaKai :

Hm, you're profesionally using a joystick to shift now, do you also have the problem that when you drive in LFS with FFShifter and you press a key on your keyboard, for example T to chat, your gear is 0?

Btw: nice german ruler :V

never had that problem before... weird

Quote from Killer Beast :

Ok thanks. Will my gear knob just fit straight onto that if it is the right size or what will i have to do?

it really depends on what knob you get. i can't tell you any specifics as the only thing I ever did was use tape to hold it in place. did the job, but there are better ways :P you could contact NitroNitrous and ask him about specifics about what he did

so, did you figure out the shipping and total cost? I am ready to ship any day

Quote from Killer Beast :

ok thanks!

the shipping dimensions are 21 cm x 21 cm x 13 cm.

here are 2 pics. the ac adapter is not in the picture but it is included

the shaft seems to have about a 1,2-1,3 cm gap in it. i know NitroNitrous (his username on this forum) did this without an adapter but you might need to play around depending on what kind of knob you have:

Ok will do. What city are you located in?

EDIT: Here is prices from here to USA via Royal Mail. Should be the same from USA back here to england
Can i have dimensions of the package?

I will get you the dimensions when I get home today

Quote from Killer Beast :

Benny,

How big is the tube that the gear shifter knob has to be put on? I need a measurement so i can get a right sized gear knob


OT: w00000000000000000000t 100th Post!!!

Once I get home I can take a picture as well as give you measurements for it

PS: NICE

Quote from Killer Beast :

Ok thanks! Where can i get a shifter knob from to fit the joystick?

I saw some really nice carbon fiber ones on amazon for like $12, and also some authentic Japanese Bubble shifters on ebay for like $15. I would try looking at a junk yard, local shops, and what I just said

EDIT:

I found out it will weigh about 4 pounds to ship it in a secure box and bubble wrap. let me know how much it will cost to ship

Quote from Killer Beast :

WHOOPS! Lol misread force as vibration. That ones not going to work

How much does your strike force weigh in packaging? Ill try and work out the price for postage

Can anyone make a small tutorial on how to set up FFShifter when i get my joystick? Also can i set the buttons on the joystick to commands on LFS?

For the Logitech Wingman Strike Force 3D (essentially brand new in orig. box) I currently have someone else contacting me for $30 + shipping, so I will see if that goes through well. If not I can sell you this one.

If the other deal goes through, I still have the Logitech Wingman Force 3D that needs a shifter knob, and I can get that to you for REALLY cheap. Probably $15 + shipping. Both work great, this one is a little smaller (the body) which makes it fit in small spots

Let me know

Quote from Killer Beast :

I have a few priorities and family stuff over the next 2 weeks so will possibly be buying one in a couple of weeks from now

just let me know which one you want and what you can give for it. also, check how much it will cost to ship from US to UK

Quote from Killer Beast :

Will this work on FFShifter?

Sorry for double post

I doubt it. It doesn't say anything about force feedback specifically, and I haven't heard of any 3rd party FF sticks... stick to namebrand if you wanna be safe

THIS guy is selling G27 shifters for a lump sum. you would still need THIS adapter, but together it would cost more than a FF joystick.

if you still want to go the FFshifter route, I have a Logitech Wingman Force 3D (missing the knob, because I used it as a shifter, but later moved the shift knob to a new FFshifter so you just need some sort of shifter knob to attach to it) and a Logitech Wingman Strike Force 3D (updated version of the force 3d) in the box for sale if the price is right. Just make me an offer for either one

are they the ones that have plastic "tips" instead of metal ones? if so, I have a few of them that I took out of some wheels I modded

check your pm's

Looking to buy a G25/G27 shifter for as cheap as possible. Shipping to California in the US.

Let me know

paste the link here I might have the time to rob some banks before your next posting

if it falls through my offer still stands

I might be able to take it off your hands for like $210 shipped, but I am in the US.

btw, is this your auction?

Quote from DeKo :

I have both the Shifter adapter and the Pedal adapter, both work perfectly, both were ordered on an afternoon and delivered the next day. Leo even sent me a message on the iRacing forums and refunded the postage to me for the Pedal adapter, which was very good of him.

I was interested in getting the shifter adapter. How many total digital buttons are there? 7 for shift, and all other buttons work too (d-pad etc)?

Doesn't work for me. I tried using it for the G27 and PRO GT. Both give invalid promo code error:



?

WOOOOOOOOOO!

That one was by far the closest to the real thing. I made some slight modifications, and now the track is complete!

It isn't done perfectly, and there are some ugly spots (in terms of looks, not function), but overall, I LOVE this track

Here are the FINAL pics:






Hope you guys like it
