SETUP

IMPORTANT! Before using this product, read the video game system instruction

manual for safety, health, and other information.

1. Make sure the video game system is turned OFF. Connect the MC2 Racing

Wheel to the video game system.

2. Insert game and turn on the power to the video game system. DO NOT MOVE THE

STEERING WHEEL DURING START UP. The controller uses this time to calibrate.

STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT

Many steering wheel compatible and analog controller compatible games will

offer a variety of controller configurations and settings in the game’s options

menu. The different controller configurations will allow the user to select and

assign different functions to different buttons.

The MC2 comes equipped with AccuDrive™ Calibration System (ACS). The ACS

display on the MC2 has two purposes: it provides a visual indication of throttle level

during game play and provides visual feedback when adjusting calibration settings.

The ACS is designed to adjust characteristics of the steering response. There are

two different attributes that can be adjusted in steering performance: maximum

range, and deadband.

The deadband setting indicates how far from center the steering wheel must

be turned before any action occurs. A large deadband setting requires a large

movement from center before any action occurs on-screen; a small deadband

setting results in almost immediate action when the wheel is moved off center.

Maximum range refers to how far the steering wheel must be turned to reach the

maximum turn position. This is mostly a matter of personal preference; some people

like to throw the steering wheel hard from side to side, while others like more

sensitive steering. The sensitivity on the MC2 can be adjusted from full throw to

less than half of that.

Programming Accudrive

To use the Accudrive feature simply press the ‘Calibrate’ button. Two red LED’s

near the center will show the current deadband setting, and two green LED’s

near each end of the display will show the current maximum range setting. To

adjust the settings, use the ‘Up/Down’ buttons on the D-pad to widen/narrow the

deadband, and the ‘Left/Right’ buttons to widen/narrow the amount of distance

needed to move the wheel to achieve maximum turning position. The deadband

and maximum range features offered on this controller are in addition to any

calibration adjustments which may be made by the game software. Many games

offer calibration screens in the game options menu. BE AWARE THAT A LARGE

CONTROLLER DEADBAND AND A LARGE SOFTWARE DEADBAND WILL ADD

TOGETHER AND RESULT IN A VERY LARGE TOTAL DEADBAND, MAKING THE

GAME DIFFICULT TO CONTROL.
