Remove axis from force RS

Hello

I am using a Force RS wheel with performance pedals and I have a probnlem with XP.

Since the Force RS is only used for steering anymore I'd like to tell windows that it should use only 1 axis (the steering or X axis) and not try to find the other axis (throttle and brakes) and even another axis because for some mysterious reason once my Force RS is installed in windows and calibrated I have a "wobble" on the RZ axis and everytime i try to calibrate a game since this ghost axis is moving up and down very quickly I cannot assign other axis such as throttle and brakes to the performance pedals.

Is there a driver (hacked or not) for the force RS that would tell windows that it is a 1 axis wheel WITHOUT pedals ?

Thanks for the help

If you have disconnected the pedals the reason could be that the pedal
inputs in the wheel ar lrft "floating"? You could make a small connector
with two fixed resistors to "terminate" the two pedal axis.

which is an excellent palce to get Act-Labs fixes:
"All you need do is plug the performance pedals in to the spot on the
wheel where the default pedals would normally go.

No loss of resolution AFAIK and the clutch and shifter, (if present),
could remain connected to the USB adapter box with no issue or
disfunction."
