MS FF Wheel Configuration in N2003

Hi all, I recently upgraded to a new XP system. Under my old system when driving at a plate track, for example, I could keep the throttle matted while simultaneously braking in order to slow down while keeping the RPM's up ( just as in real life) Under my new XP system it's pretty much one or the other, if I brake while still in the throttle the brake overrides and cuts the throttle... Is there some way that it can be configured to "see" both inputs simultaneously? Thanks, Timmy

You have to set up the controller as dual-axis. Probably in the control panel under game controllers. "Timmy Ferrell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ccjMa.7512$[email hidden]... > Hi all, > I recently upgraded to a new XP system. Under my old system when drivingat

Options of Combine As Y and Separate. If you check the "Separate" box your pedals should operate independently on separate axis. At least, that's the way mine work with Win 98SE. Don't know if it works that way with XP but try it and see.

You need to fix your profile. You have it set to "Combined" instead of "Separate" Axis. You will need to re-cal after changing it. -Larry "Timmy Ferrell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ccjMa.7512$[email hidden]... > Hi all, > I recently upgraded to a new XP system.

Windows XP imbedded controller software doesn't have a 'separate' pedals option. I reloaded the 'Game Controller 4' software that came with the wheel, against protests from XP, and now it works fine. "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:PsDOa.742$[email hidden]...

And it gets WHQL certification with those protests in place. Neat, huh :) Yes, the ability to config the wheel is nearly non-existent without the SideWinder 4 software. That's why those with the really old Gameport versions are screwed. -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:begaep$5fq$[email hidden]...
