Problem: NFS and CH Products Pro Pedals

by Collier Ch » Tue, 05 Dec 1995 04:00:00

Has anyone had luck getting the CH Product Pro Pedals to work with
Need For Speed?  I've verified that the pedals are working with my
Gravis joystick by using both with MS Flight Simulator.  However
I can't get the Pro Pedals in Car Mode to work with NFS.   I think it
has to do with the Pro Pedals mimicking a second joystick.

Any help would be appreciated!

  Maybe it wasnt a smart idea for the makers of the Pro Wheel and Pro
Pedals to design it to require two joystick ports.  I have one of the
best wheel and pedal setups, the TSW and it only requires a single
port.  I have used the T2 and it is designed to use a single port.  It
makes more sense right now to design the wheel and pedals to run on a
single port, this way it will work with all games.

Just My Opinion,
Mike
