Despite what it says in the documentation with the wheel,  I can't get F1GP2
to recognise the brake
pedal or paddle.

I had been using a T1 for ages woth no problems but the rigours of energetic
racing took their toll.

Help.

It looks like the docs for the Sprint on the CD-ROM are wrong.  In DOS
the paddles are:

Right = Joystick A Vertical (Y1)
Left = Joystick B Horizontal (X2)

The pedals are:
Accelerator = Joystick 2 Vertical (Y2)
Brake = Joystick 2 Vertical (Y2)

So for GP2:
Steering = Joystick A Horizontal
Accelerator = Joystick B Vertical (for pedal) or Joystick A Vertical
              (paddle)
Brake = Joystick B Vertical (for pedal) or Joystick B Horizontal
        (paddle)
Clutch = (if using pedals only) Joystick B Horizontal (left paddle) or
         Joystick A Vertical (right paddle)
Gears =  Your choice of Joystick A or B (A = top row, B = bottom row)

On the same subject, does anyone know if it is possible to set-up the
paddles for the gears, rather than the buttons?
TIA
Chris.

No, because the program is looking for digital input for gears and the
paddles on the Sprint are analog (potentiometers).
