Hi!!
I'm a newbie with this game. I bought it last weekend.
I am trying to configure the Xbox 360 pad but I find it really impossible.
Is any tutorial of this?
Thanks a lot!!!!
Do you have the Xinput dll added to the plugins directory? Without it the triggers will not work correctly

Oh, by the way 'Hello' and welcome :)
Hi Drasic... Welcome aboard! ;) 8)
Looks like H is looking after you, but if you need any help just post away with your questions. We're all happy to help. ;)
Look forward to seeing you online as soon as your ready mate. ;D

where does it stops?
installing it to windows, calibration of the controller, these plugins or just whee you "should" place which input on the controllerbuttons itself?

Most of the players are using the XBox 360 or used....
So there seems not much difficulty setting up the controller.
XInput is definetly needed.
Ask specific questions and we will find the solution.
Setting controller buttons differs widly between players,...
Thank you very much to all of you!! (I'm a spanish guy so forgive me for my mistakes :P)
h106frp gave me the keys that I needed ;)
However it's difficult to control the motorbike although the pad is well configured, but this isn't Mario Kart jaja.
I hope they continue improving this game because it could be the best motorbikes game ever.

It is a simulation not an arcade game ;)
Just practice, practice, practice....
It takes a few weeks before you spend more time upright than crashing :)
Top tips i was given;
Try the different mod bikes, some are easier handling than others, The 4 stroke supersport R6 seems well balanced and a decent starting point.
When you fall and find yourself at the side of the track, if you apply brake first then throttle (it will limit revs) then let off the brake to pull away it will not wobble (and fall) at low speed.
Try adjusting the direct lean, it has a big impact on how the bike model reacts. I use 70%, some use lower, others higher.
Avoid manual automatic gears. Good gear selection makes cornering easier
Throttle control is critical just like a real bike, full throttle everywhere is doomed to failure.
Brakes control, be gentle and progressive.
Learn laps at a steady speed, learn the tracks and plan ahead, the exit of one turn sets up the entry for the next. Charging between braking points is slow and causes more crashes. If you keep falling at the same point on the track consider revising you line through the turn.
Persevere, its great when it all finally comes together and it does reward the investment in time and initial frustration.
I am sure other have more useful tips ;)
nice tips H.
i am using 10% direct lean btw ;)
and i also think, that the SSP600s are very good to start with.
just ask for setups of other riders and most of them will send you theirs.
but the setup think depends a lot on the personal riding style like in real.
so you have to figure out individualy what setup you like and can ride with.
QuoteAvoid manual gears. Good gear selection makes cornering easier

I think automatic gear change is not the best way....
yes, do not use automatic gearshifting.
I'm in favour of auto gear shifting if you have no available clutch controller(meaning, no clutch lever on your controller available), but certainly I would not advise you to use automatic gear selection. Auto gear selection changes gears at certain rev ranges which most of the time are not suitable times to change gears, ie: When you want a higher gear to control rear wheel power coming out of a slippy corner, particularly when it's wet for instance, the auto gear change will have you in the wrong gear to effectively do that.
So gear shift help selected, yes(which is auto clutch), but not auto gears. They are two different things. ;)

Whoops, my bad... typing fingers and brain disconnected :-[.
Manual gears with assist is far superior after a bit of practice. In fact the auto gears is pretty useless at the moment, much like the auto box in a car in real life it will always decide to shift when you least want it to.
I CANT ride with auto gears, you just cant get corner speed right.

Yes, I know it.
But sometimes when I'm riding and I'm trying to give an easy curve without any difficulty and without any brake pressed, my rider falls down......¿¿??
I think it's maybe because it's a beta version or I have any incorrect configuration in my pad. Here is my configuration attached.
beta6c is not the best on slow turns and you could try not to close the throttle fully when "rolling" thru the apex.
It does seem utterly maddening at first, but generally there is a good reason for a tumble.
More painful lessons from my recent learning curve;;
Look closely at your controller output in the little display at the bottom of the screen. If your throttle/brake and steer sticks do not give nice linear outputs you will struggle a bit - i ended up with a gamepad upgrade from a low end copy 360 controller that was just hopeless - big thread in the forum ::).
Stick with auto rider lean to start with, it makes life easier.
Going too slow on tight corners with a big steer angle will cause the front to fold up. Generally watch out for having a lot of steer angle for any reason - something is wrong with your line.
Some turns are just difficult to master, i found low speed tight corners difficult. My general problem was thinking i had to clip every apex. Sometimes running deeper and wider into the turn is the key. I struggled with the last downhill tight turn on Victoria for ages with mysterious falls, running a bit wider on the entry sorted it, anywhere near the apex was a tumble.
The 'show best line guide' colored arrows on track can be distracting - try a few laps without it you may find you get on better - i did
Mallory is a nice practice track - not too long and easy too learn. If you can master Shaws hairpin you have it cracked at low speed. Gerrards is an exercise in fine throttle control ;)
Try not to get to disheartened, it is possible but the leaning curve is steep to start with.
Maybe one of the good riders here could run a bit of a track school sometime, maybe just a few laps, part of the problem is riding on your own - it would be much easier to learn following an instructor.
Bike suspension setup makes a big difference to front end folds too...... On the Mallory hairpin bend for instance: Give your front suspension plenty of rebound - lets say: front Bump 2, and front rebound 10 or 11 should do the trick nicely. It made the world of difference on the moto 3 - Kalex M3 mod bike on that track for me. ;)
I only found out myself by shear luck on a last minute gamble with setup that this works for Mallory hairpin during last GPBOC moto 3 event there. Lol
Not tried it at other track yet.

Well, the truth is that I can't play a lot of hours to this game but I am beginning to fall less of the bikes jeje.
Even so is extremely difficult to ride quickly the bike.
I think they could do a button where "Arcade" and "Simulation" could be switched.
Thanks to all!!

just practise mate, thats the secrect.
and about you button, noone here wants a "arcade game"-button :-*
Another tip:
If you don't have the full brake power on your gamepad you can brake more precisely especially into the corners. In earlier versions I played you could set a brake power between 1 and 10. I allways used 3 and it made me a lot quicker because I could very smoothly break into the corner. The recent version of gp bikes doesn't have this option. But in the gamepad setup you can lower the gain of the brake axis. I just started playing again but I think at the moment I'm using a value of about 85%.
I'd avoid touching at the brake gain (this is mostly there for people using load cells on car brake pedals).
Change the (front) brake leverage: the smaller the leverage, the higher the max braking force (and vice versa).
