Does it have a settings for seperate axis on the pedals? "Buzz O'Dea" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... The answer to this one is probably dead simple but... I bought a wingman formula gp wheel today to try in GPL. Brought it home, set it up as per instructions (I guess) and went to Monza to test. First shot the Lesmos the car wouldn't stop. Well, it finally did when it hit the fence, but that's not the preferred method, is it? No brakes when my foot is on the throttle. uh-oh! When calibrating in GPL with my advantage pedals (in generic) I would get an axis for the steering, an axis for the throttle and a third axis for the brake calibration. When calibrating the wingman in gpl I get an axis for the steering and only one other axis for calibrting both throttle and brake. Don't seem right. Can't trail-brake. Where am I going wrong? buzz

Was about to walk you through the settings for the FF-models (which have combined axis set as standard) when I realised yours is a standard gameport one. So I downloaded the manual from the Logitech site and found there doesn't seem to be an option to seperate gas and brake as there is with the FF models. I.e. you were sold a dud. So, IMO, you're left with two options: 1) take it back and exchange for a model that has a seperate axis option. 2) re-wire the unit. BTW: I would recommend taking your foot off the accellerator at some point when braking for the Lesmo's, otherwise you're going to get outbraked a lot. ;-) Jan. =--- "Pay attention when I'm talking to you boy!" -Foghorn Leghorn.

well if its like my formula force there is a setting under specail options (or something like that) for report combined pedals. this is checked by default. Uncheck it and you should be all set. MadDAWG

first do the basics..make sure your wheel is the way you want it in the windows control panel. Also make sure it is using the #1 slot for controllers. (if you have more than one controller hooked up...disable them for now) In the game there are two methods available to sample the joystick..DirectX and the Papyrus optimized driver. Make sure your using the DirectX input. There is a checkbox in the options screens good luck dave henrie "Buzz O'Dea" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I got the same problem. I got the old Logitech Wingman formula force and if I don't report the pedals I get no respons from GPL. It sucks to not be able to brake and gas at the same time. /Blackhawk "Buzz O'Dea" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... The answer to this one is probably dead simple but...
