For some reason Live For Speed won't recognize the bottom
two buttons on my old LWFF. I have the top two mapped
to "look left" and "look right," as usual.
I wanted to make one of the bottom buttons "look behind."
But since the game doesn't recognize these, I couldn't.
But I discovered that if you press both "look left" and
"look right" at the same time, you get "look behind."
Perhaps this is common in lots of games, but I never
came across it before.
Now the only function I am missing from the wheel
is the horn :-) :-)

I had the same problem, and I don't seem to
get any force effects either - but I'm working
on that one. Despite minor niggles, this "beta"
is better than many full releases I have seen
and these guys strike me as being completely on
top of what they need to finish before release.
The LWFF remains the best bit of racing hardware
I have ever bought. I got the original model
about a week after it was released and it still
works perfectly to this day. I cleaned the pot
maybe twice in 5 years and still get perfect
accurate control. (my driving OTOH...)
I get the feeling LFS is in the same league.

On my Ferrari FF wheel, I'm using the shifter for gears, and I'm using the
shifting paddles behind the wheel for the look left/right/behind function!

I just press "B" button on the keyboard to use the horn while driving with
my wheel!

everything else seems to work OK without it. But, I still can't get the horn
to work (other than by using the keyboard). What version of the Profiler are
you using? and what OS?
Thanks!
