Hi!
I have a following problem: I cannot install my Sidewinder 4.0
software for my MS precision wheel after adding an MS precision 2
joystick to my rig, so I have to use the 'standard' XP driver for the
wheel. Now I have always 2 axes for my pedals assigned, but I
sometimes need 1 axis, because I also use the pedals for flight
sims... Is there an utility which can assign 1 axis to the pedals like
the original Sidewinder software can do?
Thanks in advance!

Try unpluggin the joy when you use the wheel?

That won't help with the flight sims ;-)
Unfortunately my only suggestion would be to try a different make of
joystick (or wheel, but joysticks are cheaper) to solve the
compatability problem.

was gameport and wheel was USB) plugged into a 98 machine back when, I
noticed that 2 things would happen from time to time.
1 The wheel would not be "controller #0" in computer (or #1 in human
thinking terms) by default, I had to "set it" somehow in the Windows COntrol
panel "game controler" app (not in Sidewinder?).
2. half the games found the regular joy instead of the wheel if both were
plugged in (papy sims not withstanding) But since I rarely played much
other than Papy games that used the wheel back then... it didnt matter.
but for MTM2 I would unplug the joy when I wanted to use my wheel.
It has been loooooong time, sorry I cant be more accurate. I got rid of the
gameport joystick got a cheapo USB joystick never had a problem since...
