Win2k: GP3 and MSFF-Wheel

Hi

I tried to install GP3 on Windows 2000 and to use the MSFF there. Its really
cool. There aren't the problems with the wheel like in Win98. But my problem
is, how can i assign the wheel-buttons to a keyboard key like with the
sidewinder software in windows 98. is there a sidewinder sw available for
windows 2000?

Are you saying there are NO problems with the MSFF and GP3 under Windows
2000?

So does that mean there might actually be some bug in the MSFF drivers for
Windows 9x, as opposed to a problem in GP3?

Shhh.... don't say it too loud - you might offend all those people here that
are absolutely convinced that Geoff Crammond doesn't know how to program...

I thinks so, yes. BUT: I'm sure Geoff has optimized his Game for Windows 98
and not for Windows 2000. That means he has a bug in the game while working
with the driver of the wheel in 98.

Do you know if it's possible to install the sidewinder software in 2000??

Has anyone tried to get the ff-wheel to work in 98 without the
sidewinder-software installed???

Yes, it's possible to intall the sidewinder software in 2000. It says
something about some features not being available or summit like that during
the install, but I haven't had a problem.

The wheel performs the same in GP3 on 2000 as it does in 98 (i.e. poorly),
so bang goes the 'bug in the MSFF drivers' excuse.
