nsr and Microsoft FFB USB wheel

I'm having a problem in nsr (with the patch). When I setup my MS FFB USB
wheel to have seperate axis for throttle and brake, the brake is either 100%
on or not on at all. If I do combined it works fine - except that I can only
have one at a time. Anybody else have this issue, or a fix? The response
from EA was "MS has discontinued support of this controller". Thanks in
advance.

That's a pretty crappy response from EA, but it doesn't suprise me.

Microsoft may have stopped selling the SideWinder products, but that doesn't
mean there aren't millions of them in use (there are).

The MSFFW was the #1 selling wheel most of it's lifespan.

EA's true colors show again.

Don't know what MS wheel software version you are using, but you can get
version 4.0 here about 3/4 of the way down the page.
http://www.techimo.com/forum/t47496.html Never had any trouble with the
wheel using this software.

I'm running version 4.0 already :|

I've tried removing and reinstalling for giggles - but it left me cussing.

I was able to change the curve on the z axis with this utility so that it
works perfectly now. It's odd that it works fine in all the other games the
way it.I guess they took it's behavior into account.

Thanks for the help.
