Hello, a couple of weeks ago i rewired my Thrustmaster T2-pedals to function with Split-Axis. It works fine in GPL and N4. There is only one problem and that is that Windows does not recognize my wheel. If i select the driver for the T2 obviously there is an axis missing (since i have split axis now). If i select any other wheel it says 'not connected'. I tried custom properties with designating my wheel as having 3 axis and 4 buttons, or even 4 axis and 4 buttons (in which 1 axis is meant to be a dummy-axis). But it keeps saying 'not connected'. As a result i can't play any games that use the DirectX-support for joysticks, and don't have the generic option like GPL and N4 have. Games like GP3, Leadfoot, Viper Racing etc all don't see my wheel. Now i understood this has something to do with Windows (ME in my case) does not recognize wheels/joysticks which have 3 axis. Since i won't be the only one with this problem i was wondering if anyone knows a fix for my problems or some kind of workaround. Any help is appreciated. Regards, Svend
I would supect you have the x1, y1 and x2 axis connected. Directinput doesn't like this. What you need is x1, y1 and y2. Pete
