Hi,
I am thinking about buying the Logitech Formula Force wheel. but does it
work in Grand Prix 2?  I know it doesn't work in Nascar 2, but thought
that maybe it would work in this game.

Thanks in advance,
Ryan Kocher

Yes it does. This is how I've set it up in the controller menu:
Steering Device - Joy A Horiz
Steering Mode - Analog
Acceleration Device - Joy A Vert
Braking Device - Joy A Vert
Gear Change:
Change Up - Joy A Fire 2
Change Down - Joy A Fire 1

Hope this helps

Does this mean you can't get separate axis for the brake and gas in GP2 with
the Logitech?

I didn't think it was possible so I didn't even try...now you've got me
wondering<g>. I'll give it a shot today and report back if it does indeed work.

Dave, Tucson Coyote Here (Remember me from LFRS days??)

THe reason that Logitech has it set up that way is easy to see...

When you depress the gass pedal, with that setting the calibration  dot moves
forward (up) just like if you had a joystick, when you depress the brake, it
move backward (down) as if you had the same joystick....

Course you still have to do it as if it were a menu driven calibtration
though....

Just a little insight from

Paul 'Tucson Coyote' Bender
FormerClass E Driver 1997-98 driver for Backmarkers

P.S. I think GPL Rocks as well as NFS3!
