Is it possible to assign the clutch function in gpl so the secondary set of
paddles on the ferrari wheel? I mean the ones that can also be used for
throttle and brakes. The throttle and brakes would be assigned to the
pedals.

Is this possible? I so, I'm going to buy it tomorrow!

The secondary paddles are deactivated when the pedals are plugged into the
controller.

Cheers

That's pretty stupid of them! Formula 1 cars have the clutch on the wheel
don't they? Why couldn't guillemot just copy that idea?

Probably too much data for the port (6 analogue channels and x digital..)
and/or the games.  There's very few games which support analogue
clutches/handbrakes.  Actually ... anyone know a game that supports analogue
handbrakes?

In gp3 you have the clutch assigned to the gear changing paddles, works
great actually. Don't know about other games though.

I've read that some Ferrari FF wheel owners use separate CH peddles so they
can disconnect the Ferrari ones and use the paddles as a clutch.

I just wish I'd have thought about that before i gave away my old wheel and
peddles.

One thing though, i would imagine that a clutch pedal would be difficult to
use, as unless it has force feedback, you wont be able to feel the biting
point!

True, but modern F1 cars have the clutch as a paddle and I guess those
wouldn't have much in the way of feedback either.
