Until then I'm sticking with the warez copy

They should have release a beta copy and we would have ironed all this
stuff out for them!!!!

I would appreciate it if you could tell me how you have set the the CH pro
and pedals to work with GP3

Ive got 2 controllers set up in windows.  JoyA horiz, JoyA vert, JoyA 4
buttons as my first controller, and JoyBhoriz as my second controller.

Now when i go into GP3 i can use the exact same setup options that i use in
GP2.....JoyA horiz steering, JoyA vert accelerator, JoyB horiz brake.

This works on my F1 Sim....

It should have been written in the manual or in the readme.txt....

Split axis works fine...

What sort of wheel and pedals have you got?  I have successfully
configured a CH Virtual Pilot Pro and CH pedals to work with split
axis.

No problem Ian,  GP3 considers that Joystick B is the second
controller on your system so you need to make your wheel controller 1
and your pedals controller 2.

1/ Go to Control Panel/Game Controllers and remove all entries.

2/ Add a 2 axis, 4 button joystick, this is your wheel.

3/ Add a 2 axis, 2 button joystick, this is your pedals.  Both entries
should show OK.  Select the controller 2 properties and note which
axis, horizontal or vertical, is connected to which pedal.

   You don't seem to need to calibrate the controllers in Windows as
GP3 does it's own calibration and it's difficult to calibrate the
pedals since you don't have a button to press.  If you want calibrate
the pedals, go to www.stickworks.com and get the file joyregs.zip.
There is a utility in that zip called joyclick which will emulate a
button click on the second controller.

4/ Run GP3.  Go to Options/Controls/Advanced.  

5/ Select a slot in the users sets and control driven calibration
(this is important).

6/ Set controller type to wheel, steering device to Joystick A
Horizontal, acceleration device to whichever axis on Joystick B had
your accelerator, on my CH pedals the accelerator was the vertical
axis, and brake device to the other axis on Joystick B.  Reduce low
sensitivity zone on brake and accelerator to a low value, 4 or 5%.
Set your gear change etc as needed.

7/ Select Calibrate Joystick and follow the instructions. When
instructed to press fire for the pedal calibration, a button on the
wheel will work.

8/ Save your control set.

You should now have split axis control.

I hope this helps people get the best out of GP3.

This is a pretty bad time consuming work around if you're playing multiple
sims at once. Have to hope that hasbro actually gets their ass into gear and
releases a fuctional, useful controller setup system.

Hang on - the policy here is to completely remap the controller
to cope with the nuances of one simulator? Err.. No thanks.

You guys certainly are keen.

I agree, it's bad design.  But the same setup works fine for GPL &
Rally Masters which are the only other games I play much, so I'm not
concerned.

Just make *another* entry in the game controllers screen, for your
controller working normally. All you have to do then is select which
controller for each game.

Its not perfect, but it will work!
