I have a Thrustmaster Grand Prix 1 wheel with CH Pedals. I was able to map
the pedals to "A" and "Z" characters, respectively, for acceleration and
braking using RBJoy.exe.
The setup works great, but I'd like to tweak it a little, if possible. The
braking is a little too sensitive, causing me to lock my wheels if I'm not
too careful.
Does anyone have experience in using RBJoy.exe with GP3? Anyone with
recommended setups?
Thanks in advance.

Exactly the same hardware as you, including rbjoy, but evidently not as
clever as you. Could you give me a step by step on how you set it up? (For
the life of me I can't get the pedals to get recognized by GP3- it only sees
the wheel paddles as the y axis, not the ch pedals, when I calibrate the
joystick within the program.) Thanks in advance T.M.K.

Each Axis page can be turned on or off. For GP3 I have turned on the
following pages: X+ and X- for steering, Y+ and Y- for the paddles, R+ and
R- for the rudders, and Buttons 1 and 2 for shifting. Naturally, everything
should first be calibrated in the Windows Control panel.
For the X+ and X- pages and the Button 1 and 2 pages, make sure nothing else
is activated - in other words, you just want the wheel and buttons to
function as normal.
For the R+ and R- pages, activate the SEND SINGLE KEY as character "A" and
character "Z" keys, respectively, for your accelerator and brakes. For the
Y+ and Y- pages, activate the SEND SINGLE KEY as OEM PLUS and OEM MINUS,
respectively. Make sure you have the checkbox marked for SEND SINGLE KEY if
you want your rudders and paddles to activate these keys.
To run a quick test, keep rbjoy running, open Notepad and work your pedals.
If you see AAAAAA's and ZZZZZZZZ's on the screen, then you got it working.
In GP3 setup your steering wheel as normal. Your brake and accelerator
should be set to A and Z. And your ready to race.
One more thing. You can now use your paddles to zoom your driving view in
and out as you race. Comes in handy when you need a wider view for those
tight turns at Monaco.
Good luck.

Thanks T.M.K., it works - kind of. Unless I'm doing something wrong (very
possible) the A and Z keys are set to switched (either completely on or
off). Touching the accelerator essentially floors it and the same with
braking. It very difficult to not spin out. One workaround is to use the
throttle assistance but that's only temporary-and doesn't help with the
brake.
Do you notice the same complete on-off situation?
Somehow I'd like to simply convert the y axis from the paddles to the
pedals. At one time I did have this setup, but loaded Win ME and lost it.
Ideas?

Glad it works. And yes, its very touchy. That's what generated my original
post - to see if there was someone with more experience with RBJoy.
I plan to do some more experimenting. If I can slow down the rate at which
the keys are repeated, I might be able to make the pedals less sensitive.
I still have the setup and configuration for using the paddles as brake and
throttle. The wheel is calibrated in windows 98 with the paddles as the
y-axis forward and back, so it was a matter of designating the accelerating
and braking in GPS to the y-axis.
