ADVANCED FUNCTIONS ON PC
Calibrating the wheel
The wheel is calibrated automatically once the USB is connected (this operation will move the wheel). The
pedals self calibrate after a few presses.
Selecting “Separate” (3-axis) OR “Combined” (2-axis) acceleration/braking mode
By default, the wheel’s acceleration/braking controls operate in “separate” 3-axis mode, i.e. with brake and
gas pedals operating on independent axes.
3-axis support considerably improves driving precision in races.
If the 3-axis mode is not supported by your game, the wheel’s gas pedals will not work properly. Please
exit the game and select the “combined” 2-axis mode.
To activate this mode, press simultaneously the acceleration/braking controls (7) and the Force button (6).
To revert to the “separate” 3-axis mode, repeat the same procedure.
Note:
- When you select the "combined" (2-axis) mode, the led flashes red for a few seconds
(Wheel = "X" axis, Accelerator and Brake = "RZ" axis).
- When you select the "separate" (3-axis) mode, the led flashes green for a few seconds
(Wheel = X" axis, Accelerator = "RZ" axis and Brake = "Y" axis).
