Ok, I followed the instructions from the web page as directed to
rewire my CH pedals to work with my Logitech wheel. Now when I
calibrate the pedals, the indicator only moves to half of the allowed
travel. The instructions did not indicate as to whether or not to use
the pots from the CH pedals, or the Logitech so, I tried both. No
difference was seen between the two. It calibrates smooth, but only
to half scale. I have checked the deadzone with dxtweak and
everything is at zero. This setup is useable but, I think it should
be better. Any ideas?
Czech,
You've gotta edit the Registry to get full calibration from a non-U pot. It
can be done...but make sure you back up the original.

Please don't leave me hanging like that. Details man ! Details!

Well, the instructions for fine-tuning the PDPI *used* to be @
http://simracingmag.gameloft.com/niels1_white.html
...but seem gone now. Basically, you have to negotiate the Registry until
you find a string of hex numbers that pertain to the pot values (like 0000
0000 8B repeated as many times as you've got axes), and then edit the last
two digits until you get full deflection on a calibration util like TM's
ProPanel. Then you change all the others to match (assuming all the pots
have the same resistance). You might find a reprint of this article
somewhere under controllers or PDPI.

Okay, try this:
http://simracingmag.gameloft.com/articles/tweaking/00q4/niels1.shtml
...and make a copy of it (I may need it myself one day!). It pertains to
the PDPI L4 but should be applicable to any controller listed in the
Registry.
