IR for other controllers doesn't work

[adum_]

NFS: Prostreet requires you to shake the wiimote up and down to change gears but for xbox controller, keyboard, and mouse, it doesn't work in game. I tried upright, sideways, iterative, nothing and everything in between. The configuration shows that the inputs are being read (height was changed to 100 and that didn't work) but just not doing anything in game. Any help would be appreciated.

You probably need to use Swing for this action, not IR.

Should have clarified in the first post that swing didn't work either. I also tried shake and tilt as well to no avail.
EDIT: Got it working, just had to focus on screwing around with swing, thanks a million
