The pedals do move downward instead of forward. I find
that a lot more comfortable, and it reduces the slippage
of the pedals. You can probably get used to using
either type of pedals, though, and both would be
comfortable.

Something about GPL disables this function! I
can't imagine why it would be difficult to fix :(

<FROM ACT LABS>
The regular RS PC cartridge does not support split-axis. It is the
hardware, not the driver that determines this in this case. I think
the confusion comes because the latest driver revision for the Force
RS included split axis support. In that case, the hardware can support
3 analog axis. The RS PC cartridge supports only 2.
Future versions of the PC cartridge will likely include split-axis
support, though this will not be available anytime soon. Existing RS
owners will of course be able to purchase the revised engine for use
with their present wheel, when it becomes available.

Ok dumb question......
On my PC I have an internal modem and a serial mouse connected to both
COM ports. Is there any way I can connect the Force RS to my PC since
it doesn't support USB (right now)???
Thanks
