GPL running in Linux mint 20

[Cookie]

Does the wheel in the "wine control" window - test work ok?
Cursor moves as intended?

Can you test

- run GPL - in first screen! - options - calibrate joystick - does it work?

What are your settings in GEM -> controler? (give me screenshot please)

PS3 mode active!?

[bernie]

wine window test :-
x,y  = clutch moves full vertical axis
Rx,Ry = no operation
Z,Rz = brakes move full vertical axis Gas pedal moves full horizontal axis
POV = No operation

Moving the wheel gives a small horizontal deflection in X,Y axis

Running GPL I can calibrate the wheel and pedals OK in 1st screen ,( FF is active but is heavy to turn the wheel when calibrating)

Go to race , car is in pit , in car view of steering wheel is on full right lock . G29 wheel has gone full right , can turn it back to center ( very strong force ) but has no effect on the in car wheel which does not move at all .
When I release my G29 wheel it goes straight back to right lock !

Axel I have GEM screen shot but forget how to post it  (its an age thing ) 

I think these are the control settings you want

Enable Steering hack   yes
Enable Force Feedback  yes
Force Feedback  Latency  =  .085
                          Damping =  40
                          Max Force = 5

( I have been playing around with these  settings with no success but have not a clue how they work in GPL )

So imo the wine control test works!

Wheel PS3 mode is set?
I have no G29 and no idea what is changed to G27

Now test the other option in Wine control -

disable the one with (event)
reenable the (jst)

so G29 (jst)  is active

now test

[bernie]

Well its working  and calibrates OK now but I have no FF at all , nix, nada .   Just no resistance whatsoever on the wheel  , exactly the opposite of what I have if I launch GPL from windoze 

[bernie]

Now thta's interesting , I just been testing GPL in win10 and changing FF settings there , now when I look it has also change in GPL Linux ?

should that be so ?
makes me wonder do we have a problem with GPL secrets file ?

OR do both Linux and Win10 share the same file ?

I am also unable to get a race list in iGOR but that has been so since before a tried Linux

Also

have tried iGOR from GEM Linux and get error message :-

" could not open gplmods.ini "

followed by another

Last GPL player cannot be found as a player/player folder

Have you copied the not working igor.ini from your w10 install to linux?

Wich path to gpl.exe do you have in Manjaro GEM settings?

[bernie]

pretty sure its the correct iGOR.ini  , not sure how to check that ? . here's the path :- /home/berniend/.wine/drive_c/GPLSecrets/iGOR

I dont see a path to GPL in GEM but when I set GEM up I thought I had the right one , dunno how to check other than re install GEM ?

Is it not shown at top-left?  Where it says "Installs".

[bernie]

Thanks for that Clive 

Z: \home\bernie\GPL\gpl.exe

[Clive Loynes]

Thanks for that Clive 

Z: \home\bernie\GPL\gpl.exe

No problem.

I think that you and Axel both deserve medals for this saga.

Certainly put me off trying!

[bernie]

New stuff like this is always a challenge for us coffin dodgers , the old memory cells start to disapear at an alarming rate.

e.g. when I go upstairs to my loft den , I need to stop halfway for a rest 

I forget weather I was on the way up or on the way down !   

seriously though I think Axel must have the patience of a saint !

Z: \home\bernie\GPL\gpl.exe  

So you point your linux GEM to the windoze GPL! That is wrong!


The path should be:

\home\bernie\.wine\drive_c\GPL\gpl.exe

I asked you to copy the working GPL folder to .wine\drive_c...

here is my C:\GPL60\GPL.EXE shown besides "installs"

[bernie]

Done what you ask in ( 9)

GEM installer can see the GPL.exe but wont complete the install ,I get error message :-

" Set up was unable to create directory Z: \ GPL Error 5 access denied "

whatever that means ?

Have I copied GPL file to the right place , I put it  in the -c: root

And I asked you was  the -c: root the right place GPL to !

So do we start again from square one ?  maybe I will get something right if I try enough times

When you ask "Have I copied GPL file to the right place , I put it  in the -c: root " (wich gpl file )
- I understand .wine\drive_c

How comes your win10 uses this too
1. Have you changed a path in your W10-GEM?


No, not all new needed!

COPY the complete working GPL folder to .wine\drive_c
Next you will have to show the path c:\GPL\gpl.exe in left top install to GEM



Remember Wine has it's own filesystem - so - Wine c:\ is not Win10 c:\

[bernie]

Yes Axel I understand that now , very confusing having 2 x C:

Anyhow I have loaded GPL into wine C:  , GEM instals pointed to it .

GPL runs but still can't calibrate the wheel

No iGOR race list

should I have deleted GPL secrets first then re installed it ?
