thrustmaster 360 modena split axis problems..

I have some problems with this wheel (usb, non-Pro). I need to switch my pedals to split axis mode. I read somewhere else that I need that stupid buggy thrustmapper utility to be able to do this, since the standard windows control panel applet is unable to change anything. Well I got my hands on that thrustmapper thingy, the setting was there, nice, everything seemed to work, however, it didn't:\.. Now, (with the split setting on) everything but the gas pedal works just fine. BUT the gas is really screwed up. If I don't touch it, and set the split axis, it is zeroed. When pushed, it jumps all the way up to 100%. When let go, it immediatelly falls down to exact 50%. Then, it keeps jumping between 50 and 100% if touched anyhow. I even posted a question at their support page, but no response so far. I hope some of you people knows how to make this work.. because it really sucks. Thanks in advance.

So, there *is* somebody else out there with a 360 Modena wheel. Hmm, I had trouble trying to get mine working at first but it worked ok once I had the latest version of Thrustmapper. Just one obvious thing, have you tried killing *all* the deadzones (in Thrustmapper and in-game)? Also, I've only got mine working properly in game by setting the taskbar utility to 'manual', and selecting the preset configuration I want every time before I load the game. Leaving it on automatic doesn't seem to work for me. You are activating the taskbar utility before you play, I assume? I'm no expert on these things, so sorry I can't give any smarter answers.

Thx for answer.. I downloaded thrustmapper just days ago, so I assume it is the lates one.. v4.xx I dunno the exact numbers. There are no deadzones, there were none and I didn't set any. The manual setting isn't a bad idea, (at least I see the third axis even in windows CP..) though it didn't solve anything:( Thanks nonetheless..
