How do you set up Joystick to play TT IOM on PC?

[carnut]

Hi, I just bought the new game for which I have waited many years in great anticipation. Problem is I don't know how to set up the Microsoft Sidewinder joystick to play the game in a realistic fashion. I want acceleration to be "push joystick forward" and brake "pull back".
Gear change should be the trigger for "up" and button number "3" for gear down.
I cannot find anywhere in the game how to change these. Please help....I cant play with keypad. I used to race bikes (also at IOM) and am very keen to start with the game.
Thank you and regards

Your best bet is to go with the guide over at 'race department' in their TT forum. I used to have a guide up here myself, so if you have any questions after trying their guide then I shall be more than happy to further advise.

Also, I suggest that you edit out your email address as I put mine in another topic and received spam about 'having some company tonight' :D

Use the program x360ce x64 , you can find it on the net.
Place the program in the steam map , steam apps -- common-- tt iom.
Then setup you joystick with the program , dont give up it wil work great in the end.
Cant explane it better iam no teacher , lol , just a old racing fool.

Why isn't normal controller support build in?
This is a race game !!!
All i can do is, try to control the bikes, so i need controller support !!

Thats a good point , but games are made these days in first place not for a pc so they dont care about other controllers than those stupid playstation things. You have to do the work you self .

Thanks, two more questions.
Is it possible to assign axis to throttle and the brakes?
Can i buy a controller for pc, supported by TT-IOM?

Yes, both Xbox & PS4 controllers work just fine.

I bought TT IOM yesterday, but also found that I could not use my Flightstick or Wheel without having to install Xbox controller driver and the emulator, so I have got a refund from Steam for TT IOM.
It looks really good, and I´m sure it´s fun when You get the right way of controlling it, but for me it´s a nogo as long as no proper setup options exist for normal PC joystick or Wheels.

I also find that Throttle and brakes should be set as xis' and not just as on/off buttons.

Sorry to sound negative, cause I really think this is a good racing sim.

Wothan , you can set up the throttel and brakes to a xis`asis.
But you`r right a pc game shut have a joystick option. They make game`s in first place for those playstation things , pc is old fasion and of coarse a to littel market these day`s.
So sad , for those game makers it must be very littel effort to make that happend.

I would implement proper controller support for them for *free*. It isn't that which stops them though, it's red tape. They know how to contact me.

J'appliquerais le support de contrôleur approprié pour eux pour * libre *. Ce n'est pas ce qui les arrête, c'est la paperasserie. Ils savent comment me contacter.

PC might be old fashion for games, but definitly not for simulators, which I assume TT IOM is to be recognised as.

How difficult is it actually in 2018 to add custom input hardware setups in a "game" ?

This is ridiculous, racing game for PC should support joystick and wheel to..

That it don't is just lazy programming

Not the paying users job to fix a game so it works, silliest thing I ever heard !

[michaelopp1962]

They will now never make only PC games there gonna make console games that we have to f*** with for PC it's f******be about greed thay will also never make strictly simulation games it's always gonna be for consoles for f****** 12 year olds I don't know what it cost to make a good simulation game but whatever it is you have to take it out of your own pocket If you're super rich you'll be able to have one made for you if you're poor you will never see it it won't even see the light of day from your pocketbook lf they' have control over it and guess what it will be a console game for F****** 12 year olds Alright well that's my rant for today o4/01/2019

Good thing there's still GP Bikes... Maybe Bike Sim Experience will turn out as a decent sim too.
