I have the MSFF wheel/pedals and Driver as well. It is nearly impossible to modulate your pedals in this game. Since it was designed for consoles (controllers with just buttons) the gas and brake seem to be either on or off. ~daxe

(Unless you know another way?) So any help in using a profile for Driver would be greatly welcome. If you do use a profile for the game could you possibly mail it to me? At least then I could eliminate error on my part. Thanks again, Stephen >

Hi all I just got Driver, I know I`m a bit late gettin it but I`m having major probs getting my Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel to work with the game. I have followed all instructions but cant get the profiles to work in the game. Could someone tell me where I can get to a good FAQ on this or has anyone else had similar probs and resolved them? I`m running Win98, if thats any help. Please help cause it`s a fun game and I`d like to have my wheel/brakes just so. Thanks in advance for any help, Stephen.

Just so you know, the idiots who programmed this game never intended that it would be used with a steering wheel. Lots more problems too. Hear that whistling sound? It's wind through their ears. I bought this game for PSX and returned it the next morning. Andrew Stephen wrote:

I don't have the game or wheel, but you might try RBJoy. It has button assignments and wheel assignments as buttons with variable response. Could be just what you need. You can get it at Tweaks & Reviews and some other sites. It's free so give it a shot ;-) -- Slot Tweaks & Reviews www.slottweak.com "Stephen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Hi all I just got Driver, I know I`m a bit late gettin it but I`m having > major probs getting my Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel to work with the > game.

Thanks Andrew, It seems pretty damn stupid to program a driving game without considering steering wheels!!!! Anyway thanks all, Stephen
