after geting quite anoyed with the pedals of my LWFF I bought myself some CH
pedals. Now I am struggling to get the CH pedals to work.
I've got a Soundblaster Live! for the pedals and the LWFF is connected via
USB. The LWFF is wirking fine only the pedals refuse to work when the LWFF
is connected.

Am I missing something?

can that be a gamepad as well or do I need an analog joystick?

TIA

Not sure - I'll try to find my gamepad and check it out, but I know you have
to have something plugged into the pedals.

The only way I could get the pedals to work without a joystick plugged into
them was to using a suggestion from this group to define a custom 2 axis no
button controller which I called CH Pedals.  You then add two of these
controllers, one as controller 1 and the other as controller 2.  The first
controller is not detected but the second one is.  Weird!  You then add the
LWFF as controller 3 and away you go.

Cheers

Phil

thanks for your help. I finally got it to work.
I plugged my Sidewinder gamepad into the pedal's joystick port and added a
custom 4 axis no button joystick twice. You were absolutely right. The first
one was "not connected" but the second one was ok.

And I have to tell you: what a difference the new pedals make! Not that I
had much time yesterday evening but even the 15 minutes I've tested with the
CH pedals made the buy worthwhile.

Thanks again
Andreas
