Does anyone know how I can set up my sidewinder game pad pro so that buttons
b are accelerate and y is brake. The game only seems to allow the D pad to
control these. When I set the gamepad up in schemes to mirror keyboard keys
the response is very slow.

            I have the latest sidewinder software , drivers and game patches
all running on a P3 700 with win98SE.

Is the gamepad recognized as such in the game? My guess is your game is now
set for analog brake and throttle axis, and you're looking for digital
input. Maybe there's some controller setting you need to change, or maybe
another connected controller is in the way (try rebooting with just the
gamepad hooked up, and see if you can set it up right).

Game recognises and correctly identifies gamepad, but even when I remove my
joystick leaving the gamepad as sole device I cannot get the game to use the
keys as desired.
Can only input D-pad (no buttons accepted) to control accelerate/brake in
analogue mode , game will not accept anything (not D-pad nor any buttons)
for these in digital mode
