Rally 2000/LWFF split axis

Anyone get this combo working? All the sims I'm playing right now (DTR, TOCA2, Viper, GPL, SCGT) support split axis. It's a minor hassle to have to switch to combined axis to play RC2000. I can't get it to work when set to 3 axis. Actually, it wouldn't be a hassle at all, but I prefer not to use the Logitech Profiler and I sometimes forget to switch the axis settings before starting the game. It's funny, out of all the types of sims, a rally sim is the one you'd MOST expect to support this, since it mimics really rally driving style. Tim

No! We'll have to wait for a patch... Well, it is not a sim, it's pure arcade! (But even so it should support split-axis) CU Zolli

I have my Microsoft Force Feedback wheel working with independent pedals, by 1) choosing '2 axis and pedals' option in the game, and 2) using the 'combine y axis to pedals' in the MS software for the wheel itself. Why this works I have no idea. PJ

If split axis isn't "independant pedals" would you please explain what it is? MF actually incorporated a request I made for RC into the final code to get my pedals on Joy-1 to work with my wheel on Joy-2. Would this be what is known as split axis? If yes - I'll post the directions to get this to work. --David Cook

Perhaps I misunderstood, but 2 axis is not using a split axis for the pedals--3 axis is. With split axis pedals, 3 axes are used: x, y and a third (usually called r). With every other title in existence, you can't have independent operation of the pedals without using 3 axes. Some titles, like N3 apparently, support the split axis configuration, but still do not permit independent operation of the pedals. RC2000, I can only assume, does not support independent operation or they would have not screwed up such a fundamental aspect of the "released version" of the game. They may have tried to add-in split axis support at the last minute to aid those people with controllers who don't want to have to change their set-up back to 2 axis just to play RC2000 (me!!!!!!!). For the record, it was my intervention that got us analogue controls in RAC Network Q Rally Championship. What was a very decent title for its time was completely ruined by digital (on/off) acceleration and braking. I also pleaded to have it added to the Add-on pack--but only an unreleased beta version of analogue controls made it my way (it works fine though, but has a testing read-out in the corner of the screen!!!). At the time I thought how could so much thought and care be taken in recreating all the stages, but then***something like the controls up so badly. It reminded me of the "physics" discussions re: RC2000. But the granddaddy of all examples of this has to be SOS '37. What a colossal example of failed potential. Marc.
