KerryW Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Great choice on the controller :mrgreen: OK, first, install the drivers from the CD (just use the quick install since you don't have to install the actual software)... Then go into the registry and in the entry (should be the last one) where it says "Cyborg......." (or something like that) modify the OEMName to Saitek P880 Then go into your controller.cfg file and change the first 2 lines so they look like this: profile= Saitek_P880 device= Saitek_P880 Then if you want to save yourself an hour, replace the entries in the middle of the file with this: VPAD_PITCH_1= button 3 VPAD_PITCH_2= button 4 VPAD_PITCH_3= button 1 VPAD_PITCH_4= button 2 VPAD_PITCH_5= button 6 ...that way you'll have the right pitches assigned to the correct buttons. And keep in mind that the analogs on this controller act as buttons too, so you can use that as your setting for the "bunt" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applejack Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Ok I modified the Cyborg entry but I can't find the controller.cfg in regedit. I did a search for controller.cfg but found nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryW Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Ok I modified the Cyborg entry but I can't find the controller.cfg in regedit. I did a search for controller.cfg but found nothing. The controller.cfg file is in your My Documents/MVP 2004 folder....You have to open it using notepad or wordpad.. Sorry I didn't mention that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
applejack Posted August 4, 2004 Author Share Posted August 4, 2004 Well, I changed everything in the controller.cfg, but I still can't get to load the saitek in the game. I did do the full install when I did the drivers for the controller, but that shouldn't matter. Maybe I missing something in regedit. What I did was simply search my computer for Cyborg. Once I found it I renamed it to the Saitek P880. Prehaps I didn't rename the OEMN name? How do you do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KerryW Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Well that's actually the most important step in the whole thing :| ... Access the regirsty editor and go to " HKEY_Local_Machine/System/ControlSet001/Control/MediaProperties/PrivateProperties/DirectInput/Joystick/OEM/VID_06A3&PID_FF0C On the right column right-click on OEMName and click Modify. Change that name to Saitek P880 Go to Control Panel/Game Controllers and make sure that Saitek P880 actually appears there and that OK is written next to it....Then just follow the other steps I mentioned before. And I hope you SAVED the controller.cfg file after modified it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
