FF Wheel + Non FF Pedals....

There have been many posts concerning using a Logitech FF Wheel plugged into
the USB port on a win98/win95b machine, and using pedals such as the T2's
plugged into the  soundcards gameport.

That GPL will support multiple devices, and by simply using joystick 1 as
the wheel and joystick 2 as the pedals that you can get the best of both
worlds with that game!

This is terrific (if it's truly that simple) however what about other sims
???

Has anyone tried this with SCGT, Toca2, N2, GP2, ICR2, CPR, or others ???

I'd love to hear which ones and how they worked for you.

The other Sims have to be smart enough to look for secondary controllers
and not just the first one, I tried SCGT and NFS4/HS neither saw my
T2 pedals, only my Logitech wheel and it's pedals.

So for those type of less controller "smart" sims you would have to use
the Logitech pedals, or you can do what I did which was to take the
Logitech wiring that went into the Logitech pedals and instead wire it
into my old T2 pedals, not a very difficult thing to do and only took
about 15mins.

Then you have a great Logitech FF wheel with T2 pedals combo that works in
any sim.

Looks like I wasn't the only one doing this either Eric Cote has detailed
how to do this in his great Logitech GPL wheel review:

Seeyas on the track.

I was wondering with this set up could you use one of the pedals on the
steering wheel for clutch
