I had the same problem.  The brake is hard to use when you just want to "tap" it
a couple of times.  I installed the TM s/w.  When I boot up, the first thing I
do is go into the Thrustmaster "alignment" program where you turn the wheel both
directions, then the buttons, paddles, pedals, the hit the accept.

Once in the SCGT program, I pull up the "Options"  tab at the bottom, and go
throught the setup for the buttons/pedals.  It comes up first with the keyboard
input, hit escape, and the wheel input comes up.  At that point, depending on
which setting your on, pull the paddle, or push the pedal, or turn the wheel,
etc.  I had to try this combo several times (I would get wierd settings show
up).  At one point, I reset to defaults, and all the settings I wanted were
there.??????

For me it is much easier to use the left paddle for the brake.  Tapping it into
a turn works great.

Hope this helps

Seriously, though -- it does take more than a couple minutes for your
post to propagate and show up on news servers.

"Team Jesus Racing" -- I like it.  :)

The "timing" could have been good in the right turns tapping the brakes
on some of the courses.

Team Jesus Racing is just starting out:  Currently one real life dirt
track car, and hope to figure out how to design several types of cars
for the various sims, offline series, etc..

Thanks
