Steering Wheel Problem

Post by GavJ1981 »

Hi everyone.

Hopefully a really silly question that is easily answered but being i noob means i don't know the answer! I have purchased a Thrustmaster T80 Ferrari Edition for GP2. I have set it up using Vjoy and UCR and it works very well for the driving element. My problem is that i don't know how to navigate the cockpit menu when using the wheel. I can exit the pits by clicking the paddles because that is the default option but i can't find a way to move up and down the list to car set up or fuel etc. I've tried every button on the wheel but they don't work and the keyboard keys don't function either (apart from space bar to pause). Being the Ferrari edition it doesn't have a D-pad on the wheel.

Does anyone have an answer please?

Thanks very much.

Hello! I watched your first post the other day and still I haven't got the time to comment, which I will eventually.
I can't really help, as I'm still playing with keyboard (eventually I'll get a wheel :) ). Are you using just DosBOX or D-Fend Reloaded too? I re-started playing almost 10 years ago and I play occasionally - I think in D-Fend Reloaded there is an option allowing to change the keys function, and I once meddled with it. I think it's somewhere in the Run menu. Perhaps this could somehow "obey" to the steering wheel?

But this is just guessing. I hope someone more knowledgeable gets here!

Thank you both.

So it turns out a quick press on the throttle and brake works for me too. It was just my long presses that were the problem. Same as when I used to use the joystick really but many years have passed since then!

Thanks again.
