Wouldn't it be possible for somone to right a program (TSR???) that sits in mem and intercept the signals from the joystic (pedals) and instead of sending Y1 for throttle and Z1 (is this right???) brake it intercepts Z1.. and changes it to Y2 or something.. basically taking the split axis brake signals and changing them to single axis... Isn't this possible???? Waiting with interest... James Pickard Melbourne, AUSTRALIA

G'day, Mate! I doubt it'd be very useful. The joystick's input to the computer is only along a single axis. The software would have to not only interpret the input, but determine its direction (gas = Y+; brake = Y-). I'd think that would be too much overhead, since it would have to continually poll the joystick. "Gunner" ORSA Bronze #78 Navy Dodge truck

Irrelevant to what been written below is a "mechanical" way of doing it: http://members.xoom.com/simracingmag/index_nmg.html Check under "Blackbox" See ya, Eric
