tips and tricks:
-
Note: The app supports the games as they are delivered from the manufacturers. The key assignment may not be changed. As input device you have to select "keyboard" (not "wheel" or "analog input device").
-
By closing the padlock-icon, the steering wheel data is locked. This can be required in selection menus, otherwise the movement of the steering wheel disturbs the selection.

menu selection
|
-
Via the menu button of your smartphone you can access the setting menu where you have the following customization options:
On some devices, the steering direction is shifted by 90 degrees (one moves to the right, even though the steering wheel is held horizontally). Select the option "correct 90 degrees to the right" to remove the problem.
The steering angle in degrees indicates how far the steering wheel must be rotated to achieve a full scale of the steering.
Throttle control range in percent indicates how far the slider has to be moved in order to achieve full throttle or full brake application.
