Title: Pedals not functioning with Model 3
Post by: bubba1212 on November 11, 2021, 08:42:12 pm

I'm able to go through the model 3 controller config and it does recognize my Logitech Driving Force GT wheel and pedals.  When I play a game, the steering works fine but the pedals do nothing.  Here is what is in my supermodel.ini file (written by the configuration utility).

InputSteering = JOY2_XAXIS
InputAccelerator = KEY_UP,JOY1_UP,JOY2_YAXIS_NEG
InputBrake = KEY_DOWN,JOY1_DOWN,JOY2_ZAXIS_NEG

Is there something additional to get the accelerator and brake to function?

I think Supermodel can sometimes get confused as to whether you're using an Xinput or a Dinput controller. You can specify which you want to use and manually configure it. A DFGT wheel is a Dinput device.

Create a batch file in the same folder your Supermodel EXE's in and add the following to it.
supermodel -config-inputs -input-system=dinput

Double click on it and then just follow the information that pops up in the CMD prompt window to configure your wheel. If you click on the CMD prompt window to scroll up or down to read the info in it, you'll need to click back on the Supermodel application window for it to register the inputs you're assigning to the wheel.

I would use a totally fresh install of Supermodel for this.

I tried what you suggested, but unfortunately the same result.  The configuration utility recognized my pedals just fine and updates the ini file appropriately they just don't do anything during game play.

Are you launching Supermodel from the CMD line or are you using a GUI? I've got the same wheel and it works for me just fine. I launch my games using batch files in the Supermodel folder using the command
 -input-system=dinput
I bet however you're trying to launch the games is specifying them as Xinput instead, which would explain why your pedals are set up correctly in the config file, but not working in-game.

As it turns out I resolved this by simply changing "JOY2_YAXIS_NEG" to "JOY2_YAXIS_POS"

Normally you can notice in game when the pedals need inverting? I wonder what happened.

Ya, I'm confused as well.  If they were reversed I would have expected the accelerator to function without being pressed down.  That's why I didn't bother to reverse it in the first place.  Strange but it's working now.   :dunno
