3 - Now that we have setup the LWFF to work well in the Wingman Software, we can go in and set it up in RC. First we need to get 3 axis working properly. If you are unsure you have it setup right in the Wingman software, please go back and make sure, otherwise nothing we do in RC will make any difference. You need also to have Patch 4 installed to get 3 axis working correctly with this approach.

Start up RC and go to Options, then the Player Details menu. This shot shows how I prefer my sensitivity setup - - you can set it up to your preference, but going much higher than this causes the digital feel to return. Next go to the Setup Controller menu, set the controller to the LWFF, the FF as you like, set the axis' to 3 axis Wheel and Pedals, and the deadzones. As you can see in this shot, my lower deadzone is all the way down - . I have some open upper deadzone to avoid a dragging brake. You can experiment to find the right setting for your wheel by checking the brake lights in the game. If they come on at all when you are not on the brakes, you need a larger upper deadzone.

Lastly you need to program the controller, so go to the Program Controller menu now. Note that you must setup at least the pedal axis'. My gas pedal axis was correct, but without assigning the brake axis, it was listed as the same axis as the gas. As you can see in this shot, the gas needs to be (-z) and the brake is (-rz).

I used a program called DXTweak to set my deadzone for the steering axis to 0. You can get the program from the Wingman Team website, but its really only useful for setting the deadzones when it comes to RC. Another thing I did was set the brake axis deadzone higher to help with the dragging brake syndrome. My deadzones in DXTweak are setup as X=0, Y=5 and R=10 (brake). To see which axis is which in DXTweak, just move the wheel and pedals and watch for the changes in the numbers at the top left of the screen.

I hope this project was helpful for you. If you followed the directions completely, there should be no reason 3 axis should not work, and the wheel should not feel much better than it did.

Good Luck,

SC
