F1 2002 Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel Question

Can anyone tell me how to make the Sidewinder Wheel work more friendly in F1 2002? I'd rather have a brake and gas peddle instead of just lifting the gas to brake. And, I'd like to use the paddles to shift. The default is the buttons but I can't figure out how to change the settings. Thanks Farley.

I am also having a problem using FF with a Msoft Sidewinder FF wheel & pedals. I'm running this on Windows 2000 Professional Sp3, DX8.1 using the Msoft Sidewinder FF wheel. Hardware is Dual 1ghz PIII, 1gb mem, Nvidia GE Force 2 64mb card. When I press the forcefeedback button on my Microsoft Sidewinder steering wheel the wheel locks up and steers hard left!! The forcefeedback makes the games unusable! Any body got a fix or idea what might be causing this? There don't seem to be any patches release for the game? Would I be better running W98SE with this game?

I have no idea what's causing that, but I use an MSFFW in F1-2002 and GTR2002 and it works fine. Larry "Dirk Diggler" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:LEs0a.586$[email hidden]...

Is it the gameport version or the USB version ? Forget using the gameport version on anything except Win 98 or Me. "Dirk Diggler" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:LEs0a.586$[email hidden]...

I went out and bought F1 2002 as I liked the demo. I'm running this on Win2k Sp3, DX8.1 using the Msoft Sidewinder FF wheel. When I press the forcefeedback button on my Microsoft Sidewinder steering wheel the wheel locks up and steers hard left!! The forcefeedback makes the games usable! Any body got a fix or idea what might be causing this? There don't seem to be any patches release for the game? "Leeds1000" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:37H0a.16810$vm2.9398@rwcrnsc54...

I have seen others with that problem too, but I didn't pay attention to the threads...perhaps posting this at the Racesimcentral forums might get more response. good luck dave henrie

If I'm understanding your situation correctly, what you need to do is this: Under the controller selection in F1 2002, assign shift up and shift down to two keyboard characters. Then exit the game, go to Control Panel and click on Game Controllers. Double click on your wheel, and create a new scheme called "F1 2002." Under the Recorder tab, on the two lines for the triggers (RT and LT), click under Game Action and then type the keyboard characters you assigned for Shift Up and Shift Down respectively. Click on Apply, and then exit Game Controllers. When you start F1 2002 again, your paddles should work as gear shifters. If you later want to go over to GPL or NR2003 etc., you'll need to go back to Game Controllers and select whatever scheme you use with those games now. The F1 2002 scheme you created should work perfectly with GTR2002. Happy racing.

Oh, and as for the pedals, mine work as separate accelerator and brake when the Game Controllers Pedals Mode setting is on Combined rather than Separate, even though that seems illogical. Hope that helps. "Farley Granger" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<9enW9.732442$P31.542901@rwcrnsc53>... > Can anyone tell me how to make the Sidewinder Wheel work more friendly in F1 > 2002?
