The only problem, if you call it that, is that the program doesn't recognize
my CH Pedals. My wheel is a Thrustmaster Grand Prix with paddles, and the
accelerator and brake always default tot he pedals no matter what
configuration I try. My setup works fine with GPL, N3, MGPRS2, SCGT and
other race sims.
Anyone encounter this and have some suggestions (other than replacing my
wheel and pedal setup)?

Create the file ral.cfg The file needs to be created in the var directory.
On my PC, RC is
installed in the C:\Games\Rc directory so the ral.cfg file need to be in the
C:\Games\Rc\Var directory. My ral.cfg file contains the following lines:
framecounter=1
sensiblesaving=1
mergejoy=1
nofmv=1
framecounter adds a framecounter at the top of the screen. sensiblesaving
allows saving at the end of each stage. mergejoy allows controls from
players 1 and 2 to be used in single player mode and nofmv switches off the
intro movie.
ral.cfg which I referred to is NOT created during the installation. It is a
configuration file used by MF to change varous setting in the game.
In Windows I set controller 1 to be my LWFF with split axis pedals. I set
controller 2 to be my CH Pedals and a joystick set up as a CH Flightstick
Pro with rudder pedals enabled. I made sure that the switch on the CH Pedals
was set to Car and that I callibrated both controllers.
In RC, I configured player 1 to use controller 1 which I set to be a 3 axis
wheel with pedals. I set all the controls using the LWFF. I set the upper
deadzone so that it was slightly less than maximum and the lower deadzone to
its minimum setting. This is important. With split axis pedals there is a
bug which locks the brakes on if the upper deadzone is set to maximum (no
grey). This can be seen when you change to the chase cam which will show
the brake lights are always on. Its amazing how much your times improve
when you don't brake all the time! Once I'd set all these, I saved the
settings and configured player 2.
I configured player 2 to use controller 2 which I also set to be a 3 axis
wheel with pedals. I set all the controls using the joystick and my CH
Pedals and saved the settings.
I then went to drive in single player mode and was able to use any of the
controllers the control the car.
I've tested this with the LWFF as controller 2 and couldn't get it to work.
Maybe that's your problem. The other possibility is that the US version of
the game doesn't support ral.cfg. Try my file settings and see if you get a
framecounter. If you don't, remove all lines except the framecounter and
try again. If you still don't get a framecounter, your luck may be out. I
suppose you could download patch 4 from www.rallychampionship.co.uk to get
it to work. Alternatively, try the High Gear forum. They are a helpful
bunch their and the forum has a good search facility. It's where I found
the solution to this problem. The URL for it is:

Hope this helps.
