My Pro Digital 2 just started having a problem where buttons that are mapped to a single key generate multiple keystrokes instead of a single click. Fairly annoying for all involved when my "Pit Out" message gets sent 11 times. This has only happened in N4, GPL seems to work fine. Anyone run into this before, and have an idea where I might begin to look. (I've e-mailed Thrustmaster support, not sure how long it will take them to respond.)
Are you using the "thrustmapper" software? I tried the last version with my FF wheel and it took 30 seconds for it to type "Pit Out" and GPL kept crashing whenever it was running in the background. I too emailed Thrustmaster so far it's taken them over a year to respond. I've since found GPLOME http://www.sunpoint.net/~casper/ which will remap the function keys as long as your keyboard is within in reach (or if it's not actually) Art "Don Jennings" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:SVX_7.6386$[email hidden]... > My Pro Digital 2 just started having a problem where buttons that aremapped

I solved that problem by switching from "timed" keystroke mode to "single" keystroke mode. This repeating stuff is a new one though. If you want some help with the speed or crashing issues, I can help. For one thing, you can't apply your preset to gpl.exe, you have to apply it to gplLaunch (or whatever the program is that vroc fires up). GPLOME maps key sequences to keys, doesn't it? I liked having the stuff on buttons. "Art McEwen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a1htjf$tj6$[email hidden]... > Are you using the "thrustmapper" software? I tried the last version withmy

Is that a thrustmapper function? I deleted the damn thing. > GPLOME maps key sequences to keys, doesn't it? I liked having the stuffon > buttons. So would I, but I like a stable environment more.

I deleted the damn thing. Yes, it's part of the Thrustmaster mapping software. As I said, it works fine in GPL, N3, and NLegends, it's just N4 that's giving me a problem.
