R Axis and D2X-XL

Post by Fusion »

Greetings all,

If this has already been discussed, please quote or direct me to the answer I seek. :D

That being said...

I've lost R-Axis in this version of D2X, and the Patch @ PD is a dud; said something about the pilot file \"pilota\" is the wrong version or something like that. Is their a update to that patch so I can have my banking back? I am using the Logitech Freedom 2.4 stick.

Did you try to re-configure it in the joystick config menu?

I have the same joystick as you.

Though I don't use the \"Roll\" settings in Logitech Profiler. I have noticed that when selecting it and then going into
D2x-XL Options>>> Controls>>> (joystick)Customize Above>>>.
This is what you should see when you select it.

** NOTE ** I got it to set by pushing a button (coz twisting didn't work) on the joy. BUT since then.. I haven't been able to change it! ** NOTE **

Even when set. D2x-XL controls make my pyro roll none stop! :(
Seems like a bug in D2x-XL to me. ;)

Diedel.
Can you please have a look into this?
Thanks :)

Just in case you didn't know.
Diedel has fixed the config option for \"banking\" with the Freedom 2.4. So be sure to d/l the latest version (v1.5.95) of D2x-XL.
Enjoy! :)

Red,
Results after Diedel's update:
D2 Stick Profile has all axis set the way their suppose to be(X=X Y=Y Z=Z R=R), but my D2 game says in the Bank box "J1 Z".Change that "R" in your circled section of your pic to a "Z" and that is what I have to use to get my Twist back. I don't understand it, but it works.

Basicly, I twist R, it says Z.

Yes I know about "R" is now a "Z". I was reporting the error yesturday (7:30pm Australian Time).
Matter not now. For today it is fixed (3:03pm AUS Time). ;)

Make sure the throttle is in the middle position while you configure the stick.

Gren,

I went into the "Game Controlers" Control panel and made sure the throttle was in the middle. Yet after doing that, D2-XL still says in the bank box of Options>Joystick>Customize Above "J1 Z". As long as it gives me my twist, I should complain too much on what it says in that box. :D Game version is 1.5.95

Looks like I exchanged Z and R texts.
