Using X-Dream

Starting

On a Trixter/Dell PC, X-Dream is started automatically. On systems that have not been configured this way, start it by executing TrixterAppRelease.exe

Using the Keyboard

X-Dream's user interface (UI) refers to 7 buttons that are on the X-Dream V1 bike's dashboard. As these buttons can wear out and be unresponsive, it can be helpful to use a keyboard instead.

Bike Context Keyboard Notes
Green (Start) Everywhere K
Blue (Change View) In Game 9 not on the numeric keypad, hold to change view. Not available with Full Steering Assist
Red (Cancel) Menus I e.g. hold cancel to skip
Red (Cancel) In Game Esc hold to exit gameplay
Arrows Everywhere cursor/arrow keys

To exit the application: Esc (from the menus) and Alt-F4

Running X‐Dream in a Window and or via Remote Desktop

The utility DXWnd can be used to run the X-Dream software in a window, with a variety of options for changing DirectX configuration. Get it here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/ When running in a Window via DXWnd, it even works over a remote desktop connection.

Why would you want to do this?

You might want to run it in a window so you can watch streaming video or read your email, or attend a video conference in another window.

As for remote desktop - because you can! Development purposes, perhaps.
