Re: PDPI and 4 axis-2 buttons

The switch is to select "legacy mode". I think this means function like a conventional game port. Toward the mobo is "legacy" and away from the mobo is the desired setting. This is covered on the cd that came with my pdpi. My tsw is 4 axis and works a treat in gpl. You should use the directx selection in gpl rather than generic. Is the pot for the brake the same resistance as the others? In article <1Yfg5.23978$[email hidden]>, "Mike Barlow" <[email hidden]> wrote: > I just bought a used PDPI-L4 card and Installed it.

I just bought a used PDPI-L4 card and Installed it. I have a home made controller with the steering on one axis, Gas on another, Brake on another and clutch on the last. Then I have the Shift up/down on two buttons. On my SB Live, I had no trouble with it but with the PDPI it doesn't recognize my brake. I've taken the sound card out and rebooted but it's still not recognizing the brake. On the card there are two ports and a switch. First, What is that switch for? Second, any idea's that I could try that may help with the brake problem?

hehe.. dummy me read the instructions but must have had my eye's closed. Thanks for saying what direction to set it as the directions say up/down when in reality it moved left/right. And the brake pot.. they are all the same resistance. I have two or three more races left in the season in my racing league and I've got only a 3 point lead. The next race is this Sunday. So, I'll use the sound card port till then.
