I'm trying to set up F12K to work properly using my LWFF with my TSW pedals. This set-up is working fine in GPL, Superbike 2000, Nascar 3, Nascar Legends, NFS:PU etc. With F12K, I finally got it to recognize both controllers, however, it won't recognize the brake pedal as a separate input. In other words, just lifting off of the accelerator results in braking being applied. I don't believe that I have any braking help setting applied. BTW, I'm using Patch 1.09. Here's my settings: Controller 1 - TSW Wheel with split-axis activated. Controller 2 - LWFF (Combined axis DE-activated) Within F12K: Accelerator = Joy1 Z- Brake = Joy1 Z+ Now, shouldn't the brake be Joy1 Y(+ or -)? Has anyone gotten F12K to work properly using 2 separate controllers? If so, what are your settings within F12K? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I never said that they were crappy....... It's just that I still have my old TSW wheel and pedals AND my LWFF. I just prefer the wheel on the LWFF, and the pedals on the TSW. Just trying to get the best of both worlds (so, call me greedy), and for certain sims, this combo works. I happen to like F12K, and would prefer not to have to switch my controller set-up in Control Panel every time that I want to play it.. Didn't mean any offense regarding the LWFF pedals..... (touchy, touchy) Still looking for help on this, if it's out there. . Ashley McConnell wrote:

Unless you go with wither the TSW or the LWFF you will be tinkering around... > Didn't mean any offense regarding the LWFF pedals..... (touchy, touchy) hehe. Sorry but I just think the LWFF pedals are getting a bad rap. I too thought they sucked, until I actually tried them. Most of the detractors do not even try them and assume they suck. They do not. I just plug it in and race and don't give a moments thought to the LWFF pedalwise. > Still looking for help on this, if it's out there. I would be surprised if it is... -- [email hidden]

I used to have a Logi non FF wheel, they use the same pedals as the LWFF. I just couldn't get used to the short throw that the pedals gave, they felt either on or off with very little in between. My MSFF pedals have about twice the movement and I find them a bit too short so the Logi had no chance ;) The F1 sim I have has really long throw pedals, these suit my style :) but it doesn't have FF :( With pedals I'd say it's whatever suits the individual, some like it short, some long ....... -- Ian Parker "Ambition is a poor excuse for not having sense enough to be lazy." <email invalid due to spam> Andre Warringa <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Fri, 7 Jul 2000 17:26:13 -0500, "Greg Cisko" <[email hidden]> > wrote: > > >> Didn't mean any offense regarding the LWFF pedals.....

I used the LWFF pedals for about 6 months, modified them with stiffer springs, and for most racing games they are good enough. But I really can't drive GPL with the LWFF pedals, for GPL I use my CH Pro pedals, much more sensitive and more range...

I guess I am better than you are then. At least with the pedals :-) -- [email hidden] > Andre > > > > > > >> Still looking for help on this, if it's out there. > > > >I would be surprised if it is... >

Hi there, I have managed to get the LWFF and my Thrustmaster F1 to work together in F12K without problem. The steering is set to my LWFF (Joy1) X+ (Right) (Joy1) X- (Left), the accelerator is set to the F1 (Joy2) Y- and the brake to the F1 (Joy2) Y+. The Thrustmaster F1 is set up as a seperate axis controller and I just leave the steering wheel to one side as it has to be connected in order for the pedals to work OK. It is setup under iD 3 in game controllers with the LWFF setup as iD 1. Again I have to have the pedals connected to the wheel as otherwise it doesn't work, I just leave them to one side with the wheel of the F1. Not sure if this will prove of any use but if not let me kow and I'll try to run through the process I used to get it to work. Peter Hooper.
