Even weirder. What did you re-install ? GPL or the Sidewinder software
? Did you try the latest version from the MS site ?

Have you modified 1.0.0.0 in any way ? The patch needs a clean
gpl.exe. Try to copy it from the cd, but take a backup first.

This system should run GPL at 36 fps on 1024x768 with no problems.
Squash-ball on the paddles ? I have one under the brake pedal which is
great, but never heard of it used on the paddles. But if it works for
you, nothing is better of course :)

Hmm, the patch should work then. Are you sure it's the right version ?

Sorry! I re-installed GPL (UK version) and it's not modified.
And you got me with the squash balls ;-)

I'm starting to wonder if half a squash ball under the throttle
peddle is somehwat of a ras faux pas!!
Still confused with this patch business. Yes, it's definitely
the 1.2 patch from Papy's site, And I've definitely got version
1.0.0.0 (as confirmed on the main screen).

I have a very similar set-up to yours and have never had any problems apart
from finding the split-axis page on the Sidewinder software. Are you really
using a squash ball under the throttle pedal as well? I have a strong spring
(I really have to press hard to lock the brakes, like a real car with no
servo-assistance) under the brake pedal but I've never thought of doing
anything with the throttle.

Yes, as I recall, and seem to confirm from the readme, the patchs are
incremental. i.e., you need to patch to 1.1, and then 1.2

It was a genuine question on my part. It seems unlikely to work but if
putting half a squash ball under
the throttle pedal cuts a tenth off a lap-time then there are a lot of
people here want to try it.
