I just found my old copy of GP2.  After installation and calibration
myCH Virtual Pilot Pro and CH Pedals do not function properly.
They calibrate both in Win98 and in the game.  The throttle & brake
as well as the gear shifts do not fucntion.  Are there any patches for
this.  I am running dx6.1 and all works fine in GPL.

No patches that I know of. Did you set the correct axis and buttons in the
Contol method screen of GP2? And did you try control driven calibration (not
sure if it's appropriate, but it won't hurt to try either).

Yes to all the above.  I see joy a and b, hor. and ver.  Tried every
combo available :(  I used to play this thing with win95.

Well, I have no straight answer then. GP2 under W98 runs fine over here. I
have used a CH Flightstick, ECCI CDS2R wheel and pedals, and a Microsoft
Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel as controllers.

What I find strange is that you can calibrate in the game, but not drive.

To break down the problem, you can try the following (if you didn't try
already):
1. Set the control method to use keys. If that doesn't work, you probably
have not selected a driver and team.
2. If keys work, try using a simple joystick, using the joystick control
method of GP2. It should be listed as Controller ID#1 in Windows 98 -
Control Panel - Game controllers - Advanced. For some reason it won't work
with other ID#'s.
3. Once a simple joystick works, try the CH gear.

Hope you find the problem.
