I have the same problem with my home-built wheel and pedal. My wheel and
pedal also use 3 axis. I think/hope that Windows tests either 2 or 4 axis
for a signal. I'm going to build a 4th potmeter into my wheel.
Tomorrownight I'll test it on my stuff and report the results.

You don't need to build a 4th pot into your wheel, simply connect a link
from Pin 1 (+5V) in the joystick plug to the missing axis i.e. Pin 3 for
Joy-1 X-axis, Pin 6 for Joy-1 Y-axis, Pin 11 for Joy-2 X-axis or Pin 13
for Joy-2 Y-axis.
Hope this helps...........Mark

Best of luck, let me know if you crack it. I will do like-wise.

1. Turn your computer off.
2. Set your pedals for separated axis mode.
3. Plug your steering unit into your pedals, and then
plug the pedals into the computer.
4. Turn computer on.
5. From the start menu, select "Settings".
6. In the "Settings" menu, select "Game Controllers".
7. In the "Game Controllers" menu, click on the "Advanced" tab.
8. Select the "Change" button.

14. Click the "Calibrate" button and perform
calibration **precisely** as directed by the WIN95

change the switch setting on the side of your
