I've looked at Under Windows 9x launch up the Sidewinder control panel, choose the profile manager and create a new profile for GPL. Make sure that you have the "separate axis" checkbox checked, deadzone at zero, everything at linear etc. Unfortunately I'm not under Win98 right now so I can't check the exact names of the menus/selections, but I'm sure you'll be able to locate the split axis setting. -Jari Please remove SPAMLESS before replying via email.

Go to Start\Programs\Microsoft Hardware\Game Controllers\profile activator. Then go to file menu and select new profile. When the next window opens just above the picture of the wheel there is a button labeled settings. Click that then at the bottom of the screen you can select pedal-combine as y or seperate. Dont forget to name and save the profile when you are done. It does make a big difference to seperate the pedal axis for more precise throttle and breaking control.
