To the experts :-)

I am running NFS Hot Pursuit 2 with a Logitech Formula Force GP USB,
but the game will not recognize the pedals!

For your info - the LFFGP set is running fine with all other games!

I have tried splitting the reported axis, and also combined axis -
both with no luck!

All other buttons and axis are reported (and maps in the control menu)
but the pedals...

Help would be greatly appreciated!

This is what I had to do to get the pedals to work in NFS 2.

I realized that my problem was mainly the "combined axis" - which i
had disabled... I also had to edit a bit in the defaults.ini and
definitions.ini... But now it is working!

Must say that the force feedback sucks bad!!!!!!!!!

Anyway - compared to Colin McRae it does!

Thanx - The Hooligan

It seemed that NFS was unable to dertermine precisely what kind of
wheel i am running... So i eliminated the other choices :-)

THIS IS MY Default.ini

[joystick 0]
name = Logitech WingMan Formula Force GP USB
InputRight              = axis 1
InputLeft               = axis 0
InputGas                = axis 2
InputBrake              = axis 3

InputHandBrake          = button 5
InputCycleCamera        = key SC_C
InputHorn               = button 3
InputReset              = button 2
InputLookBehind         = button 4
InputShiftUp            = button 1
InputShiftDown          = button 0

InputCallBackUp         = key SC_U
InputCallRoadBlock      = key SC_J
InputCallCopter         = key SC_N
InputLookLeft           = key SC_COMMA
InputLookRight          = key SC_PERIOD
InputGear_Reverse       =.key SC_MINUS
InputGear_Neutral       = key SC_O
InputGear_1             = key SC_1
InputGear_2             = key SC_2
InputGear_3             = key SC_3
InputGear_4             = key SC_4
InputGear_5             = key SC_5
InputGear_6             = key SC_6

AND THIS IS MY Definitions.ini

[joystick 0]
name = Logitech WingMan Formula Force GP USB
button0 = kTxtLeftPaddle
button1 = kTxtRightPaddle
button2 = kTxtButton3
button3 = kTxtButton4
button4 = kTxtButton5
button5 = kTxtButton6

axis0   = 0,left,127,0,kTxtWheelLeft
axis1   = 0,right,127,255,kTxtWheelRight
axis2   = 1,up,127,0,kTxtGasPedal
axis3   = 1,down,127,255,kTxtBrakePedal

file default.ini
[joystick (x)]
name = Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel
InputRight = axis 1
InputLeft = axis 0
InputGas = axis 2
InputBrake = axis 3
...

definition.ini :
[joystick (x)]
axis0 = 0,left,127,0,kTxtWheelLeft
axis1 = 0,right,127,255,kTxtWheelRight
axis2 = 1,up,255,0,kTxtGasPedal
axis3 = 6,down,255,0,kTxtBrakePedal

ps: (x) means last number in file list (like season.ini in GPL ;-) and
"name" must match exactly the reported name in joystick configuration
pannel.

but really, it's no GPL.
