CH pedals don't calibrate with ACM game card

I have GP1 pedals with a new Thrustmaster ACM card. I had no problem calibrating the pedals without the card. Now, with the processor speed adjustment made on the ACM, I get an "insufficient range" error in GP2 when calibrating the pedals. They only have a value range of about 32 (GP2 cal. screen). I can get them to calibrate in GP2 by turning up the speed adjust plug-in pot on the ACM (this allows a larger range of input for the CH pots), but then my card is not calibrated to the computer correctly!?! Anybody got comments? Like, is it not a big deal that the ACM is out of adjustment a little to accomodate the pedal problem?

I am wondering whether you have any of the "sensitivity" settings in GP2 set to high ranges. I would assume that this could limit the game's (excuse me, sim's) detection of the range reported by the ACM. -- **************************** Michael E.

I will experiment, but I believe the sensitivity range settings only work within the parameters of the actual joystick values set at calibration. I.E., they won't have any affect on the rejection I'm receiving by GP2 on the small CH pedal range. I'll post what I find here, in case anyone besides me is interested.
