Have you made a profile for N3?

Basically I can't get the two of them to work.  I can get the steering part,
but I can't use either of the pedals, nor the gear flippers.  Can anyone help
me out with this?  Thanks.

It works great for me, set the profiler for seperate pedal axis, go to the
game and select Calibrate Joystick 1 and calibrate your wheel only and hit
Enter. Now select Calibrate Joystick 2 and calibrate your pedals and hit
Enter. Go back to the controls page and make your wheel, pedal and button
assignments.

Hope this helps,

don

I've never made a profile for any game.  I never even thought of it, actually.

I'll give it a shot.  Thanks.

David, how can a profile help getting the lwff wheel and ch pedals
combo to work?

You don't need a profile. But you do *NEED* to calibrate joystick #1
in the options/control menu. I have my LWFF on ID#1 in the joystick
control panel applet and do not use split axis. It should work the
same for you as it did for me.

After you calibrate then you simply select the steering, brake, gas and
shifting levers. I put reverse on the upper right button.

It can't. How did the CH pedals get into the equation anyway?

Yes it is essentially the same as GPL in this respect.

No dice.

I can calibrate the wheel, but again, all I can select is the steering - no
buttons, paddles or pedals work.

A couple of things: I'm using the DirectX drivers, since I have an AMD K6/2.  

I'm going to try swapping the devices around, and see if that solves anything.
 But I wish it'd just work, damnit!

Thanks again for the help.

That didn't work, so I'm still stuck using the Gamepad...

Using the CH pedals (split axis) and joystick in the game port and the LWFF
wheel and pedals (split axis) in the USB or serial port requires at least 8
axis's be recognized by the game.  GPL automatically adds axis's as required
but because N3 only seems to support 4 axis's you cannot use the CH Pedal
and LWFF together without hard wiring the CH into the wheel in place of the
standard LT pedals.  Why Papy took a step backwards in controller hook ups
is a mystery to me.  I hope I'm wrong in this and have just missed something
simple.  If I am please someone tell me what it is.

I don't think you are wrong....sadly this is a major disappointment for me
as well, since I use my Propedals occasionally as rudders and don't want to
hardwire the Logictech Pedals into them.

Very dumb move on Papyrus' part. Maybe a patch can fix that down the
road...hint, hint.

My God... I thought the way GPL recognizes axes would become a
standard for games. And now even Papyrus themselves don't use it for
Nascar 3? Hello?

What a bummer...

Papyrus: PATCH! PATCH! PATCH! (but complete the GPL 1.2 patch first
please :)
