Try to use my gear knob in LFS and doesnt work, and I have tried all the different settings, someone give me assistance. As you can see I am a noob

In Control Panel > Game Controllers, when you calibrate/test in there does the gear shifter show as working?

Yeah the engine noise and ufo noise plays when I use the shifter (when pushed up = engine pulled down = ufo)

Also any idea on what this is ?

Okay well, at least the good news is that your shifter ain't broke literally. Now it's just a case of getting it assigned in game..

Open your LFS\Data\Script directory, and find a file called "sequential.lfs" in there. Open it using Notepad.

In there, replace the content with the following:-


In there, you can see "button 12" and "button 13". These may not be correct for your DFP. They're correct for mine, but it can vary depending on which USB port you connect to, at least it can for me!

To find out which are the correct buttons for you, open LFS, go to Options and then click on Controller. While you pull your gearstick towards you, a number will appear on the screen. This is the number for shift_up (12 in my config). Push the stick forwards and the number that appears is the one for shift_down.

Correct the numbers in the sequential.lfs file, save the file and your gearstick should then be configured for cars with sequential gearboxes.

Opened it and found this...
// This script may be useful for assigning controller buttons and
// other settings when you select a car with a sequential shifter

A broken image placeholder?

np buddy!

I have far too many wires hanging off my desk, tbh.. and my DFP can be a little sensitive. I've even known it not work until I unplugged the powerpack from the wall to reset it. Unplugging the pack from the wheel, and the wheel from the PC wouldn't do it.. but the powerpack!? Weird stuff!

Corrupted driver, unplug the wheel and deinstall the driver, then simply plug it in and let it reinstall
