>>I unpacked my new CH Pedals yesterday to replace the less than stellar

>>I plugged the (turned the machine off first of course) pedals into the

>>I made sure the Car/Plane switch on the pedals was set to Car.

>>I tried several different choices, none of which would get any response

>>the pedals.

>>I removed the LWMFF and tried again, with the same results.

>>I installed the CH Pilot/Pilot Pro drivers on the provided diskette, which

>>I unplugged the pedals and plugged in my trusty Thrustmaster Joystick,
>which
>>was recoginized immediately, and worked fine.

>>Is there something else I should try, or did I get a set of bad pedals?

>>Thanks in advance.
