Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Wheel - Can't steer!?

vinootje · November 18, 2012

Hey i have a microsoft sidewinder precision steering wheel. firs i had 2 problems the first problem was. when i want to map acceleration or Brake. it says stick up for both. EXAMPLE:(i click acceleration, Push the gas pedal. it says Stick UP done than i click on Brake than i push Brake Pedal. and than it says this "invalid key or axis, this key is already in use for acceleration. so i tryed it other was. first brake then acceleration. and at brake it says same Stick up. so i can only map 1 (Gas or brake) no matter whice one i map it wil be Stick up I fixed that because my pedales are on a combined axis. i put it on a seperate axis. and it has been fixed. but i got the same problem for steering now. i got (LEFT and RIGHT) no matter whice one i take it says Stick Left.

Example ( If i click Right than i turn the steering wheel to the right it says Stick left ! it need to be STICK RIGHT so i can only steer left. no matter if i map left or right. it will be Stick left how can i fix it please ! i have just bought an H Shifter and TDU2 but now this problem

I don't really understand your problem.

I mean, i don't have a steering wheel, so, i don't know how to assing buttons or how make it work. But, IF it is like a Playstation 2 controller, (the process), i believe that when it asks you to choose the steering, when left, you steer left. Then, logically it will say left, when it asks you how to steer right, you steer right.

If you are doing it and it still putting steer right, it maybe is a problem with the calibration, making it stay always turning left a little.

Hope i helped, somehow, and sorry about not being able to help better.

Hi there, I have updated the thread title to correspond to what your problem is and hopefully gain more of a response from our members.

I don't think TDU2 properly supports the Sidewinder wheel.... (it's kinda old)

Maybe you could search for a program that helps you assign the buttons in games. ;) (Something like Logitech Profiler)

look what dark avenger says is like what i mean. if i select right i steer the wheel right. but stil it says left. so actually there is no right. i know sidewinder is old stuff what about the zold universal steering wheel ?

When you release it, where it stays? Have to stay right in the middle. and watch out, because if it has force feedback, when you release, it might wobble a bit.

in the middle. but the problem is when i steer to left and right is no problem all other games working but in tdu2 not i can only map stick left. there is no possibility to get stick right if i steer the steer right. their might be a possability but i dont know what

Without someone else having the same hardware it's going to be difficult to solve your issue, all you can really do is try and eliminate bit by bit what could be the cause until you find another person with the same wheel.
