Has anyone GPL and a TM Force GT Steering Wheel working?
When I start GPL I see the startupscreen of GPL and then the computer
turns back to the desktop. The steering wheel is attached to the COM2
port.
Al my other games like F1RS, MGPR2, TOCA1 and TOCA2 are working good.

There is a bug in GPL that causes it to crash whenever you use a
DirectInput device that reports more than 8 axes.  The Thrustmaster
Force GT reports that it has 12 axes, and so GPL crashes.  The GPL 1.1
patch will fix this problem.

Thanks for your answer Randy, but is there a way to reduce the axes to 8?
