Why not just wire the LWFF and the CH Pedals together and then have them
work in all your driving sims, with no special controller id's or extra
joysticks or any of that other junk?

Hi everybody,
after geting quite anoyed with the pedals of my LWFF I bought myself some CH
pedals. Now I am struggling to get the CH pedals to work.
I've got a Soundblaster Live! for the pedals and the LWFF is connected via
USB. The LWFF is wirking fine only the pedals refuse to work when the LWFF
is connected.
Am I missing something?
TIA
Andi
You need to plug a joystick into the CH pedals, for starters.
Rick,
can that be a gamepad as well or do I need an analog joystick?
TIA
Andreas

I got my ch pedals working by plugging an old joystick into them. The
ch pedals expect something on the x-as while calibrating, else they
won't work. So I use this old joystick only while calibrating.
There is a way to get the ch pedals working without plugging another
joystick into them, but unfortunately I don't remember how...

Not sure - I'll try to find my gamepad and check it out, but I know you have
to have something plugged into the pedals.

I have exactly the same setup as you. I use my standard CH Pedals and an
LWFF together with the CH Pedals in my SB Live! 1024's gameport and the LWFF
in a USB slot. I set the LWFF as controller 1. I set the pedals up as
controller 2 using the CH Flightsick Pro driver with rudder pedals enabled.
I have to plug a joystick into the pedals to get them to work. With the
pedals set to Car mode, I get split axis controls for the pedals. Works
like a dream in GPL and RC2000.
The only way I could get the pedals to work without a joystick plugged into
them was to using a suggestion from this group to define a custom 2 axis no
button controller which I called CH Pedals. You then add two of these
controllers, one as controller 1 and the other as controller 2. The first
controller is not detected but the second one is. Weird! You then add the
LWFF as controller 3 and away you go.
Cheers
Phil

The wheel is USB or Serial and the Pedals are Gameport...

Phil,
thanks for your help. I finally got it to work.
I plugged my Sidewinder gamepad into the pedal's joystick port and added a
custom 4 axis no button joystick twice. You were absolutely right. The first
one was "not connected" but the second one was ok.
And I have to tell you: what a difference the new pedals make! Not that I
had much time yesterday evening but even the 15 minutes I've tested with the
CH pedals made the buy worthwhile.
Thanks again
Andreas
Think about wiring the pedals to the LWFF-wheel.
There should be much help available here if needed.
