Are the drivers for XP out yet? I have the sidewinder
precision wheel.
The wheel should still work, you just can't use the 3.02 profiling software.
I have the MSFF usb wheel and it works fine under XP, but it uses v4.01
profiling software and that works on XP too.

Hmmm...I'll have to try that.
No, I thought the software worked becasue it installed fine (although XP
whined about it) and all the options are there and it tests fine, but upon
setting it to split axis and setting it up in F12001 I see brake and gas
pedals are both on Y axis. :-(
I bet MS never releases an update to fix it either, even though it would
probably be a trivial matter.
Niether can I. I played around with device manger and game controllers last
night and forced it to use a few drivers that are not meant for it and none
gave me split axis.

All my others work fine.
EA Sports is notorious for being "NT Hostile", so who knows...
I read today that somewhere someone with EA Sports said that no games
earlier than the 2002 series would be made to work properly with XP.

I've unistalled it now because it doesn't give me split axis in F12001
anyway, but if you say that's an EA issue then I will reinstall it. But yes,
I think the software version I have is 4.01 and not 4.0. Will check when I
reinstall it.
