Anybody using the Logitech FF wheel with the CH pedals with GPL? If so, how
are they set up and do you like them? Can you set them up using the USB and
the game port from the sound card?

thanks,

Chris G

I use the same setup in GPL with no problems.  To get it to work I set the
LWFF as controller 1 plugged into the USB port.  I set the pedals up as
controller 2 using the Gravis Thunderbird (the joystick I have) driver with
rudder pedals enabled.  I have to plug a joystick into the pedals to get
them to work.  With the pedals set to Car mode, I get split axis controls
for the pedals.    Works like a dream in GPL and RC2000.

The only way I could get the pedals to work without a joystick plugged into
them was to using a suggestion from this group to define a custom 2 axis no
button controller which I called CH Pedals.  You then add two of these
controllers, one as controller 1 and the other as controller 2.  The first
controller is not detected but the second one is.  Weird!  You then add the
LWFF as controller 3 and away you go.

In GPL you callibrate the controllers as normal, remebering that there are
additional axes to callibrate on the second and third callibration pages,
which can be opened by clicking on the gold arrow at the bottom right hand
corner of the callibration screen.

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Phil

Have 'em, Love 'em. I've wired the wheel and pedals together using the
wiring harness from the LWFF pedals, it's very simple to do and only takes
about 20 minutes.

Yes, you can use CH pedals with the LogiFF wheel.  Details at my GPL
site, on the FF page.
