Dragon 428 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 As the topic says I am in need for some advice. As a die-hard keyboard user it seems impossible to use this rFactor game. This comes more down to the way that it's impossible to controll the throttle while entering and exiting the bends. Therefor I might give it a go with a controller but I don't want a steering wheel. What type of controller would you recomend? It needs to be easy to plug into the computer and works a treat for rFactor. Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasser233 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Any sort of dual analogue controller should do the trick, I use an old logitech wingman dual stick pad at the moment which is no longer available...but you can get an adapter for a PS2 pad which plugs straight into an USB port. I think theres one on play.com somewhere if you have a look about, don't think they are too dear. I have a wheel as well but when I'm feeling lazy (which is most of the time) I tend to race with the pad more often than not...I did the entire RFC rallycross world championship on a joypad and managed to finish 15th which ain't bad so it's certainly do-able. I've attached my controller.ini for a pad with all the rates in it, might need to change your keys and axis around to suit whatever you're using. It goes in your userdata\controller folder..you'll see the other presets in there...just load it up in game and adjust what you need to suit.

splinter Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Before the wheel, I used the Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2,which is similar to the one above posted by Hutch but costs £20-ish Its very good and well recommended, and the batteries have lasted well over a year so far, although to be fair, I only play on rFactor once a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon 428 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Thanks for the info guys. Got myself a Logitech Rumblepad 2 today. Just done a few laps around Xbierum, Brum and the Vue. First time I managed to do some laps without spinning around. It will take some time untill I am used to it but already notice the difference with the steering and throttle sensibility. The braking is a bit tough though as I use the same cotroller for braking and throttle (is this wise?). The set-up needs some working on as the car is now pushing on like a lunatic, lol. Once again thanks for the advice, look forward for some assistance in a server. Dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
