I have GP1 pedals with a new Thrustmaster ACM card.  I had no problem
calibrating the pedals without the card.  Now, with the processor
speed adjustment made on the ACM, I get an "insufficient range" error
in GP2 when calibrating the pedals.

They only have a value range of about 32 (GP2 cal. screen).  I can get
them to calibrate in GP2 by turning up the speed adjust plug-in pot on
the ACM (this allows a larger range of input for the CH pots), but
then my card is not calibrated to the computer correctly!?!

Anybody got comments?  Like, is it not a big deal that the ACM is out
of adjustment a little to accomodate the pedal problem?

One of the advantages of the ACM is the ability to "tweak" it for each
program.  I am wondering whether you have any of the "sensitivity"
settings in GP2  set to high ranges.  I would assume that this could
limit the game's (excuse me, sim's) detection of the range reported by
the ACM.

I will experiment, but I believe the sensitivity range settings only
work within the parameters of the actual joystick values set at
calibration.  I.E., they won't have any affect on the rejection I'm
receiving by GP2 on the small CH pedal range.   I'll post what I find
here, in case anyone besides me is interested.
