BadMouth Thank you for your quick response.
What bothers me is what you say that" The clutch pedal shows up as the z-axis and can't be modified in the Logitech profiler software..." is it for mame? Or some other racing games?
It doesn't affect MAME.
In Demul, when you try to map controls the Z-axis will register before you have a chance to press the button you intended to map.
Unless the pedal is held down halfway, Demul sees it as the Z-axis being held in one direction.
Think of it in terms of a gamepad. The joysticks are centered when not being used.
Once you get the controls mapped, everything works fine. You only have to deal with it once.
Just hold down the clutch halfway when mapping the other controls.
Edit:
I can't even remember the name of any of the old games I had an issue with.
I've never heard anyone else complain about it.
It irks me personally because I wanted to play the game FUEL which doesn't even support wheels.
I could get the wheel working using x360ce xbox controller emulator, but the game has the z axis hard coded which causes my vehicle to go backwards unless the clutch pedal is held halfway down. It's a budget game nobody cares about, but I really enjoy driving around offroad in it.
