For those of you who have this combo, how have you set up the CH pedals in
the controller panel?

Also, for CH pedal owners of any breed...what have you done to tighten up
both the brake and throttle?  Brake I know about the racquetball...anything
else?

Me, i have electronically put my CH Pedals instead of LWFF pedals, so i can
configure normally !!!

Mine is set up as follows:

LWFF plugged into USB port. I have an old (but great) CH Mach+ joystink
which is plugged to the Y-cable of CH Pedals which in turn are plugged into
the game port of my A3D PCI sound card.

In control panel -> Game Controllers: I created a custom 4-axis, 2-button
controller and assigned that to ID1, and LWFF is ID2. This way I play GP500
demo with the joystick and GPL with LWFF+CH Pedals w/o having to change
anything in Ctrl Panel. It works the other way around too (LWFF ID1,
stick+pedals ID2) in GPL but then the stick won't get recognised in GP500
demo ... and basically those are the two racing sims I play at the moment
...

I haven't done any mods. I like the way the are. I did however raised the
back edge of the pedal case to get better angle for my chair height :)

Alright, thats what I ended up doing.  Just making sure no one had come up
with
a better way.

Nods, did that too.  Not all that pleased with these pedals despite the
recommendations.  IMO they have LESS travel and have LESS resistance than
the LWFF pedals themselves.  :(

You need to put a tennis ball under the brake pedal for better feel. I have
a 1" vertical slit in my tennis ball, to soften it up a bit.

I definitely like the CH pedals better than the Logitech's. No comparison.

I have my CH pedals working without plugging a joystick into the Y
connector. I created a custom 2 axis game controller I called CH pedals,
using the Game Controller panel. I installed 2 copies of this, at ID's 1 and
2, with the Logitech USB at ID 3. Works fine for GPL, but not with anything
else.
