Sorry if this has been asked, but I just bought F1 Challenge 99-02 and
found when trying to use my wheel it wouldn't recognize it. Then I
found that the real problem is that it only looks at the first two
game controllers you have (I have 3, a gamepad, joystick and wheel).
So, I can get around the problem by unplugging my gamepad and now it
sees the wheel. Is there another way around this though? I couldn't
find a patch for this game, maybe is there a way to somehow fudge
things in the Windows Control Panel?

No patches for F1c for anything. You could reassign in Windows the order
of the controllers, The wheel needs to be number 1 afaIk. Of course this
will probably cause the same problems with the other controllers in other
games. I long ago gave up trying to have 3 or 4 input devices all hooked
up. I've got a joypad around here somewhere, but it's been so long since I
used it...

Doesn't appear to be any way to order the controllers in Win XP, and
it doesn't seem to make a difference if I set the wheel to be the one
used with older programs, which I thought was supposed to make it
number 1. Oh well, I"ll just have to go the old unplug and plug
route, because I want to keep all 3 controllers installed (which I
thought was the advantage of USB!).

Setting your wheel as the primary device should allow badly written
software to access it correctly.

I tried it, but it still refused to see my wheel. It must be
*really* badly written software. At least, the UI is. The rest of it
looks pretty cool so far.
