Has anyone got this combination to work?  If so any tips on how to do it?

Thanks

thus spoke:

Do you mean GP3? Won't work in GP2 because it is USB and needs windows
drivers. GP2 is a dos game. If you mean GP3 then I got it to work by
creating a custom profile and mapping Left paddle to the space bar and
the Right paddle to the shift key. Under settings select combined mode
for the pedals. In the game set wheel to horizontal and gas and brakes
to vertical. Calibrate the wheel, but when it comes to the brake pedal
it doesn't detect the pedal until I press it down twice for some odd
reason. This way works for me except that in the game there is always
a small amount of throttle being applied and when I put it in first

routine they have in GP3.

I'm using auto shifting for now. :-)
Do you find the brakes are very touchy too? I just touch the brake
pedal and the wheels lock up. Shouldn't be this way at all. I will buy
GP3 once this stuff gets fixed, but not sooner.

As above, it wont work in gp2, just thought I'd add that it wont work in
Nascar 2 either for the same reason. It wont calibrate properly and when you
drive, the car will all of a sudden "jump" to the left or right.

Also, The way you described this wheel working in gp3 is the same for me as
well except the part about needing to depress the brake pedal twice to
calibrate. I've also recorded a macro to change down from 6th gear to 1st
gear so that when I need to, I hit the "X" button and it changes
down...works well as long as I'm pressing the brake hard enough...if I'm
just barely slowing down, it will miss a gear changes, so the macro I'm
using actually has 7 or 8 "presses" of the shift key....eventually it does
get down to first gear.....this is ***ed.

I did find the pedals sensitive at first, but then I adjusted the
sensitivity of them in "options", "controller", "advanced"...at the moment
I've got the accelerator at around 70% and the brakes at around 50%...still
takes some getting used to though but I'm sloooooooooooooowly getting better
anyway.

 The gas pedal is OK, it's just the brake pedal is too sensitive. I've
tried various settings from 0% - 100% and they are all still too
sensitive.

Yep, I too have a Sidewinder and use the very tip of my toe to brake,
despite having a profile mapped and mucho experimentation. Oddly enough, as
someone mentioned in an earlier post, the car, without any application of
throttle, goes at 18mph, and even odder, if you turn the FF up in-game, the
idling speed goes up too.
 Solution to the brake sensitivity? No idea, train your toes, perhaps!

Nah, I'll just go back to F12K and hope EA/ISI fixes the AI and
improves the graphics engine in F1 2001. I find the driving model in
F12K much better than GP3 and that's what matters to me the most.
