Gday all I ve got a T2 Thrustmaster and I have the problem that GPL doesnt seem to allow me to use the brake pedal as brake and accel for accel. It only accepts either one or the other. Ive tried recalibrating in Win & GPL even reinstalling GPL.....but no luck. Any suggestions? If i assign the brake pedal to the brake...no worries... BUT when i assign the accel pedal to accel the brake becomes unassigned and the accel remains. Its kinda dumb :) Dave

Do you somehow have something setup for separate axis? It seems to think you are assigning the brake/gas to the *SAME* axis. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >Gday all >I ve got a T2 Thrustmaster and I have the problem that GPL doesnt seem to >allow me to use the brake pedal as brake and accel for accel.

The Thrustmaster T2 doesn't have separate axes for brake and accel. So in GPL both brake and accel have to be assigned to one axis. The problem is however, that for GPL you should have a controller which has brake and accel on different axes, otherwise if you apply both brake and accel at the same time they just subtract from each other and that is very different from braking and accelerating simultanously (No trailbraking that way) But fortunately it is quite easy to change the wiring of the T2 pedals if you are bold enough to open it and use a soldering iron. There is a good description of how to do that (and other improvements for the T2) on the follwing site: http://huizen.dds.nl/~jjcox/index.htm I hope, that helps ! Peter Vienna, Austria
Make sure that your are not pressing either pedal when you hit the "Calibrate joysticks" button, or when you hit the "Ok" button to complete the calibration. After you've depressed the gas and brake pedals a few times, slowly depress one of them and watch the values change and the arrow move. Does the arrow move fairly smoothly, or does it jump around? When you've got the pedal fully depressed, is the arrow all the way to the left (or right)? Now try the other pedal. Now release both pedals. Is the arrow in the middle, or off to one side? Randy

Just set it to 4 button/2 axis joystick and it works fine. Least it does for me. Also make sure you set the steering to FULL Linear. Sooo much better.

Hi there I had the same problem with my nascar pro racing wheel a easy fix is to look down at the base of your gas and brake pedal on the right side there is a switch that says combined off seperate push the switch to seperate then go to your thrustmaster setup and recalibrate it in the seperate pedals mode.Then when you calibrate in the GPL you will notice the changes it works kick ***
