V1.02 and bloody steeringwheel

I know there is a problem with steeringwheels and V1.02 off GP4. I use a ACT-Labs ForceRS system and i cant get the wheel to work (calibrate) correctly in GP4. I know it lies on V1.02 because i replaced V1.02 with V1.00 and then it was fine again. Maybe one off the guys (or women) on this forum have a ForceRS wheel and know a way around this problem. I tried everything but nothing seems to work, please help.

I have a Thrustmaster wheel and when I installed the patch I lost the separate axis function, the solution was to restore my gp4 to pre-patch, there was no reply from support and no-one on any gp4 forum was able to solve the problem. Even attempting to force it using Thrustmapper software failed. Good luck

Thx. for the replys guys, i don't think there is a solution for it, i just have to use version 1.00 off GP4. Thats not a problem for myself but for the leaugue i'm racing in, they use the patched game and i don't think they want to switch back to version 1.00 for only one guy having troubles with his steeringwheel.

And yes there are some readme files that came with the patch and one you could download from the official GP4site, but they just explain to setup your wheel correctly for combined and separate Axis, i figured that one out myself already, so you do not have a big help with those readme files unless you don't know how to setup your wheel in GP4.

I will cross my fingers and hope that there will be a solution for it soon...maybe a second patch???? Hint hint. It is to strange for words really, they bring out a patch that supposuly fixes the majority off problems, but create other problem(s) in the progress, why change the controllers settings anyway? where there troubles with it in version 1.00? Not to my nolige, but then again i do not know much.

@mortal wombat

is your Thrustmaster the F1 FF wheel ?

I also would like asolution so I can use the GP4 patched version and get

split axis working.

I went back to gp4 v1.0 to try it out and much prefer being able to brake and accel at same time through corners.....

... however I get much better performance with the patched version and do not like the ugly sky messages in version 1.0


so did you or anyone else work it out eventually ?

The TM forums are useless and the TM tech perople dont give a stuff.
same as the Infogrammes people.

MORTAL, come back! We miss you soooooooooooooooooooooo much!

REHAB IS FOR QUITTERS

Doesn't a custom controller configuration solve the problem?? I've got my TM FF GT wheel working with split axis (z=throttle, y=brake) with V 1.02 of GP4.

Wish it did but on my TM F1 Forcefeedback Racing Wheel (Ferrari 2002 replica) it plain doesn't work and the reason is the lazy arse programmers at Thrustmaster have been promising a fix to the WIndows control calibration program since last October and still haven't delivered.... it needs an option to split axis / recognise z axis in the controller options.

Just thought someone may have solved this by now but seems not....

Maybe the OS is your problem? I'm on Win98 SE. Or another possibility, I don't run the drivers from the CD anymore but some from the TM homepage (V2.3.6). Maybe they've added the split axis option.

I have win98se

drivers are latest

they STILL have not fixed split axis on Thrustmaster F1 FF Racing Wheel.

I constantly post on their forum about it as do others but the lazy

Prix just ignore.

wtf? mortal? =S

So if you go to the System Control menu (or however it's called), choose Game Controllers, pick the wheel and click properties, can you check a box saying "operate pedals seperately"?
