How do i setup a racing wheel in dosbox? the other window that pops up when u start dosbox recognizes it but it does not work in any game. A joystick works but it has bad control for the game i am playing(Indy 500 the simulation.). What do I do?

I need more help. 🙁 I am using the mapper tool to change the controls and it works. But there is a delay form when you start turning the wheel untill it actually starts turning. I have to turn the wheel almost halfway before the car steers. Is there any way to fix this?

Are you sure you have no doublebinds? (read the old reply from Qbix
on the topic where you doubleposted).
If so give short instructions how you remapped stuff, when exactly it
happens and post your mapper.txt

I don't think the problem ahs anything to do with bindings. Since others seem to haver this problem maybe it is a problem with dosbox?

Ps- I ahve to know what is wrong because I can't play my game without a steering wheel.

Um depends on what is "wrong", you're mapping an analog device
to a on/off device, so depending on how the game queries the
keyboard the triggering limit of the joystick mapping might be
enough or not.
Try your mapping on the dosbox commandline and see if it behaves
(much) better there.

And please don't tell again that YOU have to know what's wrong.
