MX Simulator

Hello folks.

I always played sim on my mac, what not was a problem but with the new update sim doesn't work on my mac anymore.. (whatever)
Now i am playing it again on my PC but the steering goes slithly left or right. so i bought a new controller but its the same problem.

On my mac i had a button that the middle point of the steering could adjust. is there something i can use on windows??

Thanks for your help!!

I mean the dead point of my analogue stick is leaning slightly left or right. on a basis mx track its doable but when I go on the sx section and especially whoops can't keep it straight

You can edit your dead zones manually by editing your config file (in your personal folder) with a text editor like Notepad++.

Search for lines like these:

left_key=(-0.100000,-0.900000)Controller(XBOX360ForWindows) axis 0
right_key=(-0.100000,0.900000)Controller(XBOX360ForWindows) axis 0

You can then change the first values in parentheses to tighten or loosen your dead zones. Values closer to zero will create a tighter dead zone. You can also change the second value to adjust the point at which the control is fully engaged. Values further from zero will create a broader range, but you may run the risk of not reaching full lock.

Thanks I will try it

What number will you suggest??
this would help allot

You might want to make small adjustments and test it out until you're happy, but I have all of mine set from 0.1 to 0.9.

Hi mate it works a little.. but not that much the most thing that change is that the controller is turn much slower... but i would like to change te point on the stick that the steering does nothing.

What values did you choose? It sounds like you have done something wrong if your steering is noticeably slower.

I never even knew you could do this. I've been using the same controller for years because others don't have the same sensitivity of steering. I tried using the values from my old xbox360 controller that I've been using and putting those values on the controller I have now. The sensitivity is better but now the steering veers off to the right. I've tried playing around with the numbers but the steering still veers off to the right.

i have tried 0,9 1,3 1,7 2,0 on both sides on left and right movements

I'm pretty sure that the problem is that you need to choose values between 0 and 1, but I don't know what controller you are using or how it works.

I bought a new xbox 360 controller for windows..

OK! You will want to have values similar to mine in that case. You can bring the first values closer to zero to tighten the dead zones and further from zero to loosen them. The axes move from -1 to 1, so you will have to stay between those two. Also keep in mind that when editing numbers like this for MXS files, you always go to 6 decimal places.

left_key=(-0.100000,-0.900000)Controller(XBOX360ForWindows) axis 0
right_key=(0.100000,0.900000)Controller(XBOX360ForWindows) axis 0

thanks mate I will have a go when I am home! this is yours??

Thanks mate!!
it does work much better with 0.9-0.9 but not perfect!!!
but its doable now.. if someone has more ideas let me know!!


But thankss !!!
