Logitech FF Wheel - No Paddles??

Downloaded the latest Logitech drivers and now cannot activate the paddle shifters in N2003 or GPL. Wheel, throttle and brake all work fine but cannot for the life of me figure out to configure the paddles for up/down shifting. What in blazes am I missing? It worked fine prior to downloading the 4.3 drivers. Rich

Did you use the clear calibration routine to clean out the old windows calibration? http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_software/gadgets.htm After using it, unplug your wheel and plug it back in. Then test and calibrate in the windows control panel before launching nr2k3/gpl. Calibrate and then assign. Let me know if that helps. dave henrie

Thanks Dave. Tried that. It says it doesn't detect any settings and assumes they're probably already removed. Competely deinstalled/reinstalled Logitech software and drivers and now the throttle and brake are gone also. Event though XP detects the device and the Logitech profiler checks out OK. I'm stumped.

Ok next question...It's a shame I don't think of these all at once. :) Do you have any other controllers plugged in. If so remove all of them from the box and make sure they are removed from the windows control panel. Only after all devices are cleared from windows, then install the new logi drivers. Just a guess... dave henrie

Here is a page from the Logitech site that has some troubleshooting links, a couple of the are specifically for XP users. Maybe these will help. http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/support/products/details/US/EN,CRID= 1788,contentid=6203 (long link, you may have to cut and paste it.) dh

Just woke up, 5am, and the first thing that popped into me head was... there is a file called controls.cfg in nr2k3. (and most likely gpl as well, just don't have it installed right now to verify. (this is an old ICR2 trick, it 'should' work.) The file is in your players\your name folder. Either move it out of the folder to a safe spot or rename it to something like controls.GFC and then fire up the sim. Nr2k3 "SHOULD" notice the file is missing and prompt you immeadiately to calibrate your controllers. Doing that calibration and clicking done should create a new controls.cfg file. dh

Thanks Dave. Removing the controls.cfg file did the trick. Its amazing the things you think about at 5 a.m.! Thanks for working this out. I'm back at it. Regds, Rich Felton "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
