help please: Sidewinder wheel in Windows 7

Hi,
i've been searching for hours all around the internet and this forum, but didn't find any solution, so here's my question:

I needed to install my GP3 on a Windows 7 system now. Everything works fine, but the game does not install my steering whell correctly. In the steering calbration, it gives me the correct axes (X/Y) for steering, shifting, pit stop etc., but the braking control is always set on the "IRZ" axe, which does not work in the game (so i cannot brake while driving). I remember that in my old WinXP installation it was on the X/Y axes only (automatically).

My steering wheel ist the following: Microsoft sidewinder precision racing wheel (no force feedback)

I know that such problems have appeared at the very beginning of GP3 more than a decade ago, but I do not remember the solutions.

Can anybody help me (in english or german)?
thanks!

Im using the sidewinder wheel and I have win7 and works fine.
You should have option of controller a or b in the controller options if I remember correctly. When you choose that you can choose to use irz axis for braking.

yes that's right: when i come to calibrate the wheel, it shows me that the irz axis is used for braking. In the calibration his works finde, but in the game, the brake does not react, only the wheel (left/right) and the throttle (right pedal) do work! What can I do?

You go to advanced menu in controller options.
Then you choose the controller for braking in the braking device (for me it's controller A).
When you click controller A (or B) for braking, you should get a menu showing the axises.
There you should be able to select irz axis.

You maybe also have to create a customized controller in GP3.

Everything else is fine (steering, accelerating, shifting), but I find no setting how the breaks do work! Can anyone help me??? Or can you send me your settins via mail so that I can try them out?

Thank you all for your help!

I can try and help you to resolve your problem via remote access.
