Nope, I have a Guillemot wheel, but cannot use braking separate
from the throttle. Maybe I'm doing things wrong?

Dennis,
You're not doing anything wrong. The news there isn't quite right. Well,
there is a bug, but it states that
it is currently only working with the Guillemot FF wheel. It doesn't. Plus,
I'm sure we all know by now that the drivers for the Guillemot FF wheel are
the same as the ones for the Force RS and several others that use standard
i-Force drivers. If it worked on the Ferrari wheel, it would work on the
Force RS and others. I've tested it with these 2 and with the LWFF and it
isn't working. Well, at least a patch is on it's way.

Your absoultely right the warez version is the final.   .  These people
waiting for the Retail will be shocked to find that many things will be
missing in their copies.  Just think 4 years and they had the nerve to
release another unfinished product.  I think that Gp3 is the actual patch
for Gp2.

What do you mean by 3 axis not working?   I have a Force Rs and everthing works
just fine.  I am confused as to what everyone means by 3 axis.  Can you please
explain.  Thanks.

Hi Mick. How's the cousin? :-)

A "normal" racing wheel and pedals work like this: X-axis steers left
and right. Y-axis controls throttle and brakes.

Now, when the Y-axis in the neutral position, you get neither throttle
nor braking. When it increases, throttle increases. When it decreases
below the midpoint, you brake. I guess you realise this means you cannot
brake and apply throttle at the same time. With a split axis (or "3
axis") pedals, throttle and brakes are controlled by different axis, and
can therefore be used separately.

Now, DON'T ask me what advantage there is in simultaneous braking and
revving in F1. I am not enough of an expert in racing and the
specialised English involved to explain it. (Read: he doesn't know,
really ;-)
