Hi!

Has anybody got the MS Precision Racing Wheel pedals to work with F1GP2.
When I tried to calibrate those, I got an error message, that the moving
range is too small or something like that.

I think that this game is still the best F1 simulation.

Hi,

you need to calibrate the wheel/pedals in Windows 95/98 (choose "Joystick"
or "Game Controller" from the Control Panel) before you start GP2 - and
*then* calibrate it in the GP2 calibration screen.

Hope this helps

I take it you use split axis ?

If so when you calibrate the pedals, just before you finish it says centre
contoller and press a button, at this point you need to move the accelerator
/ brake until the reading is about 10 above the rest position, it results in
a small deadzone at the start of movement.
The problem is that when you calibrate the accelerator and brake GP2 needs
to see 3 positions during calibration, full on, full off and centre. The
centre is what causes the prob because you don't use one with a brake or
accelerator pedal.
