    No, they work under fanatec game controllers screen outside of the game, but not once you are in the game

    That leaves me very confused, Has this always been the case " or how did you originally have stuff hooked up ? What Driver's have you installed when you first got the gear ?

    Delete your AC "controllers" folder under my documents, Run an Integrity check and try again.

    Nick, was able to get everything to work. All I had to do is to assign proper channels to the pedals inside AC. For some reason default assignment was working while the pedals are connected through the base but not when connected to the PC via USB. Thank you for your help.

    More detailed information is available.

    See @eaorobbie's guide for basic JRK configuration: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/jrk-setup-guide-eaorobbie.14/

    @Pit added some Arduino information to the original guide, so if you want you can still go through it, just disregard the Arduino specific information: http://www.xsimulator.net/community/faq/guide-to-set-up-simtools-arduino-and-write-profiles.47/

    It seems daunting at first but take it one step at a time, and ask if you get stuck or need clarification.

    First off, emergency stop is a very good feature to have :)

    Now that I got this out of the way, getting stuck at the very last step of setting JRK guide. After I press Detect Motor Direction I get to the prompt "center the output, then click OK". I click OK and nothing happens at all, my only option is to cancel. Any ideas?

    that's fine, its just detecting the direction's...with a small bump of the motor which sometimes doesn't even happen. No worries continue on.

    Was able to sort it out with Nick's help, just needed to manually adjust pots so that they are within the range and line up with the motors (target lines up with feedback)

    Slowly moving along. Question on simtools. What are the numbers under game engine / inteface settings / startup and shutdown output. Some people have <221><63> and <255>, some <223><63> . Also, the axis assignment is obviously different for each game. So if I chose AC from the games pull down list, create a profile, and save it that is the profile that will be used when I start AC? I don't have to go to simtools and chose it before I start AC?

    thank you guys

    No Simtools will automatically load up the proper setting's when you click "Race" in the game menu....... Assetto doesn't grab a hold of the Rig until you jump on track for the first time, then If you Copy your Start up cmd to your Shut down Command, you will get the rig holding your Default (0 position) in between games or track/car selection.
