Anybody get GPL to work with a steering wheel that uses the serial port
instead of the joystick port? If so, what'd you do to get it working?

I sure haven't, it doesn't recognize the steering movement in configuring.
Please help us saps :)

Yes I have a "Guillemot Race leader Force Feedback" and it uses the
serial-port. It works fine in GPL .
Trye to remove the joy-stick in the control-panel before you start GPL and
calibrate the wheel.
That doesnt work either.. GPL knows the wheel is there.. cus it lets me
calibrate it and bress the buttons but wont let me assign the wheel to
steering :(

I posted a message on Sierra's site and they said it will be resolved in the
patch. However, no release date is available on that patch.

Thanks anyway.
What version of DirectX are you using?

I am using a Logitech Wingman Formula Force connected to a serial port.
It
works fine in GPL, but I have to use Direct Input. The Generic driver
doesn't
work, i.e. it won't calibrate because it doesn't see the axes properly.
