Contoller issue- help please

Post by vancstar »

Hi,

I am new to MXSimulator but I have made a motorcycle contoller and it isn't recognised by MXSIM but it works fine in windows, I am running XP adn the controller is USB with only 3 axis atm x,y & z any help would be good because atm I have only steering and would love to be able to use the throttle and the brake ;)

The board I am using to run it is a BU0836 from here http://www.leobodnar.com/products/BU0836/ made by Leo Bodnar

It's because the axis is mapped backwards which prevents MX Sim from detecting it. Read this post for info on manually editing the config file.

Got it to work fine but in simulation mode the steering is very strange....

is there any way to turn of the counter steering effect as seems quite strange to steer that way, or even minimise the effect so it is only on the first 1-2% of steering lock?

Great fun but and those massive jumps on the widow maker are a lot of fun ;)
Cheers

Under "advanced stability setup", you can turn down "direct steering".
