PLAYSTATION 3 controller on FMS

[mckheu]

a few months ago i bought a ps3 , and i red on a forum that the ps3 controller is useble on a pc with the usb cable ,


but it doesnt work on FMS
why ? windows vista recognizes it as fully functional (so does xp)


PS: i can't use textures because the screen flickers ,,,

oh yes it does work, I am running the sim with the PS3 controller. Its a bit of a pain to setup, but works a treat.

1) Install the libusb-win32-filter-bin-0.1.10.1 on to your PC.
2) Connect your controller to your PC with the USB cable. (you may need to press the reset using a paper clip. the reset hole is on the underside of the controller, also make sure your PS3 is switched off and not in standby, as if its nearby it will pick up the controler when you press the PS button)
3) Windows should find the new hardware, let it look for the drivers etc. Once installed run the ps3sixaxis_en once only and press the PS button on your controller.
4) load up FMS and select 'controls' , 'analog control','joystick interface','calibtare'. You should be able to calibrate the controller now.
5) If it dosen't work press the PS again and run the ps3sixaxis_en

You will need to run the i]ps3sixaxis_en[/i] program every time you connect up the controller.
