CH Pedals

Received them today from Outpost.com great service ordered yesterday and arrived this afternoon. The only problem is I cannot get Win98, or Windows 2000 to recognise the pedals on my Gameport. I have followed the instructions on the CH Products site and the pamplet with no success. Each time I add the device to game controllers it shows not connected. On Windows 2000 Pro (SB Live Plat) For Car controller mode I click add Click Rudder - Click Custom Joystick 3 axis - 4 button and click rudder Click OK It shows up as not connected ????? I have tried the pedals on 3 PCs PC1 - Win2k server - SB Live Plat PC2 - Win98 SE - SB Live Plat PC3 - Win2k Pro - SB Live Value On all PCs I can verify that the gameport is working by connecting a Microsoft Gamepad - it works fully. To make matters worse if I connect the Microsoft Gamepad to the Y cable from the CH Pedals (When that is connected) the Gamepad works BUT the CH Pedals are not connected. --- HELP ! However if I click Add and Select 2 axis 2 button on one gameport one it finds the device on a Y gameport ?? and shows 2 devices connected. Very odd. I am totally lost not according to instructions. I am wondering if the wiring is screwed up ? Thask for any help Brad [email hidden]

I Think I fixed it but is this normal ?? If I leave my MSFT Gamepad connected on the Y joystick cable and add the CH Pedals as a 3 axis controller IT WORKS ! However why do I need to leave the Gamepad connected to the Y Cable ? Is this everyone else's experience ?

Yep, I also connected an old joystick on my CH pedals to make it work. There -is- a way to calibrate them without using an old joystick, it was posted here some time ago, but I can't remember how.. Andre
