I am desperate to go and buy F1 2001 - purely for the new GT mod that's available. However, I don't want to go and buy it only to find that it doesn't work with the PC/wheel set-up. So, can anyone confirm that they have it running on WinXP, Act Labs ForceRS and Act Labs Performance Pedals, using USB giving split axis. GPL is the only game that seems to currently recognise my wheel config, not into Nascar but I assume that this would work to, and I'm just hoping that someone can confirm that they have the same system and it's working OK with F1 2001. Many thanks in advance, Paul T
I run the GT mod in F1-2001 in win98-se with a Thrustmaster T2 wheel for steering and the Act Labs performance pedals in USB with split axes and F1-2001 recognises both controllers happily. The clutch works well too, so I have the clutch help turned off. Just make sure you push the clutch in when you spin or the car stalls :) It should work in the same way on XP.

> It should work in the same way on XP. Don't be to sure on that. alot of Xp\Win2000 users can't get the split axis to work, myself included. I would think that since the ACT-Labs performance pedals are treated as a separate controller from the wheel the chances for success should be higher. MadDAWG

Dave, ... hence my question as Rally Trophy, F1 Championship Season 2001, Colin McRae Rally 2 all don't work with my set-up. :o( "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:u6w88.6374$[email hidden]... > > "Grant Reeve" > (snip) > > push the clutch in when you spin or the car stalls :) > > It should work in the same way on XP. >hahahahahahhahahahahahhahaahhahahahahahehehehehhhohohohohohho > dave henrie > >
perhaps I should mention that I have never actually used XP, and was just assuming it would work. Silly me, if there's one thing I've learned in the computer industry, it's to never assume anything :) Dave Henrie wrote:
