I tried that on my installation, it wouldn't work until I replaced GP3.exe with the no-cd patch. -- don

I had a similar problem Peter, GP3 would see my wheel and shifters but not my pedals. I read here that some have had success using the .exe file from the warez version, which I did not have, or one of the no-cd patches floating around on the net. I downloaded the no-cd patch from http://www.bhmotorsports.com/ and everything works great. You must report your pedals as "combined" in the Wingman Profiler. Have you updated to the latest Logitech drivers from http://www.wingmanteam.com/? In the Profiler, Under Edit/Specific Game Settings, you are able to set your pedals as combined in GP3 only, which will not affect any of your other games. The forum at the Wingman site can also be very helpful. Good luck. -- don New GPL Programs for the Converted Tracks: http://www.ianparker1.freeserve.co.uk/gpl/index.html http://www2.tpg.com.au/users/brucek/hmrc/index.htm

This is exactly what I meant:problems, problems, problems. Who cares about driving in combined mode if you got a kick out of driving 'separate' ? Why Why Why ?. BTW, I just saw the first screenshots of RS3!!! Just go and see those hi res pictures of Monaco. If this is what the whole game is going to bring to us, I'll stick with Ubisoft. Guess I'll wait for RS3 until November (nice Christmas gift ..) scrcs.

Hi All, I'm having a hard time configuring my steering wheel, can somebody walk me through the setup or email me the *.con file please ? I can't get the pedals and shifters to work....weird... Thanks... Peter

I've also had problems with setting up my LWFF - you may have seen my increasingly irritated posts. But I've now cured them!!! In the end I had to:- 1) Uninstall the Logitech Profiler software. 2) 'Improve' ^_^ GP3 with the No-CD patch (I used the one from www.bhmotorsports.com). 3) Reinstall the Logitech software. You must AFAIK have the latest version of the Logitech Profiler software ( v 3.30). I also applied Logitech's patch that addresses calibration issues when running DX7.0/7.0a. (I'm not sure if it had any effect on *my* problem, though - the Wingmanteam site says it patches the Profiler software from v 3.30.532 to v 3.30.533, but my Profiler still says 532 although it also the patch has been applied...) I now have full wheel and pedals (no split-axis, of course - GP3 doesn't support it) and I CAN FINALLY MAP COMMANDS TO THE BUTTONS!!!! I used one of the .con files from the web (www.alphaf1.com, I think - I looked at quite a lot). And then edited it out of all recognition to suit my own preferences. ^_- >Thanks... You're welcome. We're all friends here. I hope this helps... Martin D. Pay Happy...

Peter, Had a look through the GP3 forum at: http://forums.simracingnews.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi There was a fix there that suggested pointing the LWFF profiler at GP3.icd instead of the .exe Not sure if this helps.

There is a CON-file on the GP3 CD, in the "Extras\Control Sets" directory that works for me. Stefan Peter Fisla wrote:

That's right, create a new profile and select gp3.icd instead of gp3.exe. Don't run the game from the profiler (it shouldn't even load) you now have to run gp.exe (using the shortcut on your desktop or whatever). The profiler finds the settings even if you haven't selected GP3. Note: changes to the profile are effective straight away in the game so you can change the FF strength etc. without having to exit.
