How can I get RFactor to calibrate correctly with a split axis BRD unit. It recognizes the wheel and the throttle but not the brake.Thanks

Although my peds were immediately recognized, I couldn't get the brake calibrated correctly at first. I had to _repeatedly_ try mapping the brake ped within rFactor before it stuck. What finally helped was holding down the brake ped just a bit _before_ mapping it. (But again, I had to try this numerous times). Not sure, but this might be worth a try in your situation as well. Good Luck.

I had that problem with my clutch pedal. I use a Wingman Formula Force (old red one), with an extra set of very old Thrustmaster pedal (only one pedal connected as a clutch.) I went into the Window calibration and calibrated the pedal. The key was to follow the on screen instruction; move it all the way one way and press next, all the way the other ... and then to the middle. The last one is the one that did it. By holding it in the middle, it took it properly even though at the extremes, it never went all the way to the ends of the calibration scale but that didn't matter. In RFactor it calibrates to the full range. I think the Windows calibration only saw half an axis when I didn't hold it the middle for the final calibration. This fixed the problem in the F1C, GTR demo, RFactor demo, the Richard Burns demo and it didn't break LFS nor Nascar 2003 Season (since they didn't have the problem before.) Russell
