I just picked up my new TM wheel from the store. It seems pretty good (though I would like to have metal and less plastic). The pedals are a little too "straight-up standing" as on most systems. Any good ideas how to fix that ? I have tried the wheel with Ubisoft F1 Racing and it was great ! This game is going to take some time to learn, but then... I have also tried the wheel with GP2 - no problems at all. Still great to drive although not the same graphics as F1RS. But the sound is much better in GP2 -especially since I put in a ferrari sound instead of the original. Also tested it with SEGA Rally and it works fine. BUT THEN I tried it with the Grand Prix Legends demo and it doesnt work. I am not going to buy the game if the "T3" wont work with it. It suggests that I have Axis 0, 1 and 2 - no matter how I configure (both in-game and win95) Also tried the pedal-setting switch but it still doesnt work. I guess I just do something wrong or is it the demo that is too limited ? I mean the wheel have to work with the game, doesnt it ? Happy "simulating" Ronny the runner

The Formula 1 is the same controller that we call the NASCAR Pro here in the USA. You should be able to use it in either seperate of combined mode, just make sure that you calibrate it within the gam ebefore you attempt to set the controls. If you have the pedals set to seperate (make sure that it is set on seperate in the TM Pro Panel and calibrated there) axis 0 will be the steering, axis 1 will be the gas, and axis 2 will be the brake. If you have the pedals set to combined (again, make sure it is set to combined in the Pro Panel) it will see two axes. Axis 0 will be the steering and axis 1 will be the gas and brakes. Hope this helps! Chris "I died for you...

Chris, When you set up the pedals on separate axes for GPL, will they still work in other sims (F1RS, GP2)? Bye, Leo Landman
> Chris, > When you set up the pedals on separate axes for GPL, will they still work in > other sims (F1RS, GP2)? It works in F1RS for sure, and I BELIEVE it works in GP2 as well (played it a long time ago ;^) <whine mode on> Of course, there are still a lot of sims/games, that are NOT using the ONE thing perfectly, that's common to ALL PCs: the joystick port. This is something I really don't understand... 4 axis, 4 buttons, that's it! It's not like three dozens of different soundcards, 3D cards... geez! <whine mode off> l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!
