I use a Rockfire adapter for my Redline gameport pedals. My problem is that the output from the adapter is divided into a few steps. My accellerator pedal will return values between -1000 and 1000. The problem is that they come in steps of about 250 if i remember correctly, giving only 10 different values. I use it because my wheel (old Logitech Force) needs to be the first controller if I want to use games that do not support multiple controllers. At least I cannot get any gameport controllers not defined as first controller to work in Win 98se. Anyone else seen this problem, or solved it? I found the problem when using joystimm.exe from the free dutch Racer simulator www.racer.nl, attempting to setup the clutch pedal. Ivar

You need to modify the electronics in the USB adapter to solve this problem, but it is fairly easy to do. There is a message about it at the RaceSimCentral forums. The link to the posts is below. http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?s=86708cb402cb24b804630ef7668 ce5f0&threadid=15071&perpage=25&display=&highlight=rockfire&pagenumber=2 It doesn't get perfect after the modification, but it is a lot better than the standard unit. -- /M Lindqvist Spamguard: Remove .ajabaja in e-mail
