I have managed to put the gas and the brake on different axises, gas being on Y2 and brake on X2. It works fine in GP2 and I assume with Nascar2 and the like (ones with good joystick setting up options). The problem is that I cannot get it to work in win95, so therefore i cant play F1RS with seperate brake and gas. I have tried making a custom controller and the like (Pro Panel). Has anyone else changed the axises on a T2 and got it to work in win95 properly?

I am no expert here, as you can see I am also having problems. :) I have just the opposite problem, W95/GPL is fine, ICR2/N2 is the rub. I believe your problem is that in win95 you must have a joy1-Yaxis for things to work. You might try your N2/ICR2 to see if you are ok there. I haven't tried GP2. If you get it figured out, let me know. Chuck BTW, I have steer=X1, gas=Y1, brake=Y2 --

Here's the deal: steer=2X, gas=1X, brake=1Y, no t2 converter into gameport, win95 as 2-axis/4button. Calibration is kinda strange in w95 since only the gas/brake calibrate and you don't see the wheel, however, all games calibrate/see it fine. I believe my biggest problem was knowing that w95 needs something on 1Y and icr2/n2 need something on 2X. Be sure to calibrate w95 before doing icr2/n2 (I exit to dos to run icr2/n2). FYI: I previously had steer=1X, gas=2X, brake=2Y and GPL worked fine with the converter since it maps 2X to 1Y and 1Y to 2X and w95 was happy since it had 1Y defined. However, icr2/n2 would not work like this. I discovered that they need something on 2X to work, thus I moved gas/brake to joy1 and steer to joy2 with no converter to satisfy both w95 and icr2/n2 requirements. Hope this helps...Chuck

I took off the win95 adapter from my T2 and managed to get separate axis'. However, My T2 was one of the last built needing an adapter for Win95. I don't know if the newer T2's can be separated like the older ones. But if possible, I chose the T2 without adapter option in the Direct Input control panel. dave henrie

It's got nothing to do with Win95, it's just changing from one to two axis... same in DOS, Win95 or Linux! ;^) l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

It's got nothing to do with Win95, % it's just changing from one to two axis... same in DOS, Win95 or Linux! % ;^) Basically because the use of the adaptor was only required for certain Win95 games/sims. For some reason they did not support having the wheel on one axis and the pedals on another. Where 99.9999% of most DOS games allowed the wheel and pedals to be on separate axis. However, most of the recent talk here in r.a.s. has been about putting the two pedals onto different axis. The current NASCAR Pro wheels by Thrustmaster have a swith that will put the gas on the Y1 axis and I think the brakes go on the X2 axis. -- **************************** Michael E.
