Hi all, Lost the thread earlier, but thanks again to those who helped with my problem. Was having difficulty with the GP1 / CH Pedals combo and F1RS, seeming very on/off with the gas and brake. Couldn't really get the feel of the sim and didn't spend much time with it. Had tried adjusting the sensitivity to 100% and it seemed worse, so set it back to the defaults and couldn't get used to it either. Figured it was the game. But, after double-checking all the configurations in Windows that everyone was using, and finding I'd done everything the same there, I put the sensitivity at almost 100%, and dedicated myself to some serious practice time and a softer touch than used with GP2 or N2. With all the aids off, I've gotten pretty good with the brakes, lock 'em up every so often but much more able to control them than before. Same with throttle. Just takes a light touch and some practice. So, while I was doing everything suggested already, the input from everyone else made me realize it was ME, and I couldn't blame the hardware or game for my poor driving :-) So I "upgraded" myself and it works a lot better, a damn blast to drive, while unforgiving of mistakes - very accurate I'd say. So if you're having problems driving F1RS and the brake/throttle, double check the hardware, but adjust yourself too. More demanding than past sims but very rewarding when done right. Ken - go #43 and #44

I have the CH Pedals and although they work great with all my other racing sims they don't have enough travel for F1RS. I borrowed a Thristmaster T2 and those pedals have at least twice the travel and work much better with F1RS. I'm going to check theCH pedals potentiometer ohm value against the T2 pedal's and see if there is a difference. Jerry
