I pulled this (with some editing) off of the HG forum for those with a LWFF.
It supposedly worked for some people there and may be a solution until the
patch arrives.

Create a file called ral.cfg in the 'var' directory of your installation.
There's already a file called ral.zog, which is not the one you want. So
create the file.

Here is the code for the Logitech Wingman FF:

joymode=3 ;set 3-axis mode
joycode=0x01111000 ;Logitech Wingman FF

For anyone with a Thrustmaster F1:

joymode=3 ; set 3-axis mode
joycode=0x01151000 ; thrustmaster f1 (Nascar Pro) separate pedals

Highlight, copy and paste into your ral.cfg. Start the game, and choose the
3 axis wheel with pedals option.

Where did these codes come from?  Do you have codes for all major
wheel/pedal combos?

David, I have sent a message to MF stating that my Thrustmaster Force GT is
working in 3-Axis mode and using the USB connection. Am I the only one who
has 3-axis working?

Andi.

One of the developers from MF posted them at the HG forum. Here's another
post I just found:

"The 3-axis code is broken. OK, slap my wrists (it did all work but errors
crept in during systems integration - wasn't my fault but I'll take
responsibility)."

"I've just been fixing the broken 3-axis code and the bugs were in the setup
code and not the read code so the settings available from the ral.cfg should
fix it.

Try these:

joymode=3 ; set 3-axis mode

joycode=0x02011000 ; new style RS (the default)
joycode=0x11121000 ; old style RS
joycode=0x01051000 ; sidewinder
joycode=0x02051000 ; ch flightstick/pilotpro

Other wheels might have different settings. Experiment. Each pait of digits
is an axis. The last two are always 1000. First one is accelerator, second
one is brake. You only need to try 01-06. If the axis is 'on' until you
press the pedal use values 11-16.

These are from memory so let me know if you still have problems (I suspect
the latest sidewinder drivers - under investingation.)

Note: these are global settings for all attached controllers.

They way to do this would be to set 2-axis mode. Setup the buttons how you
want them and then adjust the ral.cfg file. If you mess it up and have
options you cannot alter delete the var\ral.dat file and try again.

Will be redundant in the next patch...

On another note, we have found the the sidewinder (drivers 3.0 and 3.02) +
DX7.0 brings the system to its knees. DX6.1 does not exhibit this slowdown.

Hope this helps you all until the next patch.

The investigation continues..."

Any plan for 4axis ?  Many users use Joystick 2 Axis X and Y for both gas
and acceleration.  Well, everybody using CH Pedals or any third party
pedals.

Please tell me this will work with my TSW2mod

The demo's have not recognized the three-axis wheel pedal combo.

I should have my copy (shipped form http://www.InteractCd.com) on Monday

Thanks

Well, I don't quite know why but after having tried various configurations
with my MSFF I finally tried setting the profiler up with the pedals
combined as 'Y' adn setting it as a 2 axis wheel + pedal in the sim. Low and
behold when I started driving again the accelerator and brake where now
working independently... Don't know why but I am certainly not
complaining...

This is the setup I am currently using.... when you say brings the system to
it's knees what exactly do you mean... would it run faster under Dx6.1??

I currently run it on my P233MMX, 64mb RAM & 16mb Maxi Gamer Voodoo Banshee
and have to say I am finding it not bad at all (as long as I use the bumper
view...)

Advice would be appreciated.

Should be right around the corner. Mr. Fisher *promised* full support for
multiple controllers in his prerelease rants. Then again, I couldn't care
less ... I'm done with this game.

Settings in the ral.cfg have no effect with my Logitech FF wheel, I
still get -z axis reported for both brake and accel no matter what I
set in the file. Whats that all about ??

I'm afraid so ... I tried to like this game, I really did. We (I) need a
decent rally sim! But the horrible frame rate on my V3, oversensitive
controls and the lack of 3-axis support, let alone multiple controllers'
support and unrealistic driving and damage models ruin the game for me.
