when you click on the brakes in keyboard controls step on the brake it should map it as the down key. I'm using Need For Speed Most Wanted as an example but it should work with other games as well, I'm two for two on testing games that require duel axis pedals.ДЎ0.In the game go to options, controls, then go to keyboard controls, remap the keyboard controls using your steering wheel.

The only thing you really need to map are the pedals.Д©. I went ahead and gave the other eight buttons different assignments too. (This is the important part) When it asks for joystick up press the gas pedal and when it asks for down press the brake. Click on Auto setting wizard, when it asks joystick left obivously turn the wheel left, vice versa for the right. Click on your freshly extracted file, JoyToKey.exeДЁ. (it is just an executable file in zip format so create a folder then unzip this file to that folder and your ready to go.) This program will allow you to assign a keyboard function to the y axis up and y axis down on your pedals, therefor separating commands without really separating the axis.

Skip steps 2 through 5 if you've always been running windows xp (meaning you didn't upgrade from 98 or me)and if you have never installed the v4.0 drivers for windows 98.ДЎ. The best part is it's not all that hard to do, well it's kind of a pain, but it definately beats spending another two hundred buck on a new wheel. Here's what i did to make my Sidewinder work with Need For Speed Most Wanted and it also worked with Midtown Madness 2 in windows xp pro. So the pedal always acts like it's pressed half way down. It is possible to set a separate axis with the older v4.0 drivers designed for windows 98, however 'the z rotation' can not be configured properly under Windows XP. Unfortunately those of us who bought the Microsoft Sidewinder are out of luck because Microsoft hardware division no longer exists and they no longer support those products. In many of the newer games your pedals are required to work on seperate axis, most steering wheel manufactures have kept up with this demand and have compensated and made the proper adjustments in later driver versions. have you found a soloution yet, i think its bang out of order microsoft doing this as the wheel is still the best around nowДЇor those of you having brake pedal problems with the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback steering wheel I found a work around. Hi i have the same problem i have had the wheel since they came out as soon as i installed xp it happend.

Is there anyway, to get these modes in Windows XP? I tried to install Controller Software 4.0 but still.there was no option to choose modes Is there any workaround? Back in Windows 98, it was easy to choose, using the Sidewinder controller software, whether to use separate (gas pedal X-axis, brake pedal Z-rotational axis) or combined (gas pedal and brake pedal both on X-axis) mode. BUT.if I want to play more realistic driving games, where I need the brake pedal and gas pedal to be on separete axis.that's when the problem comes in. Here is the problem description: the wheel works just fine.I can accelerate and brake and even steer properly in Need for Speed Underground 2. I just updated my OS from old Win98 to Win XP professional, now I just found out that my USB version of the Sidewinder Steering wheel software does not work properly.
