...easiest way is to paralell the gamepad buttons with a custom harnes. First I would look again and decide what peripheral is best to use, any USB input device will work could it not? ie. a USB num-pad could be used - IMO use the cheapest peripheal you can find as these usually are built in a crude manner and are easier to work with.
Whichever device you choose to donate to the project is up to you and the principals of how to make it work are the same. Available from any electronic stores are micro-switch's, two of these can be mounted to the padels, the G25 has it's padels mounted on a small hinge at the shaft of the wheel, when the padel is pressed the micro switch closes, that's simple and the only factor determining wheather or not you can replicate this setup relys on you ability to machine/make a sturdy padel and switch assembly.
Wiring is simple, all you'll need to do is connect each of the switches to Some new wire and back to the pcb of the device at whatever switch you want to, this way the device can be tucked away somewhere else.
My final suggestion is best, it will take much less time to assemble as the use of padels is not nessessary.
Touch sesitive sequential shifter! Instead of micro switches all you'll need is two small conductive metal plates to press with your thumb or finger. again available from any electronics stores are transistors, all you'll need to do is wire back to the pcb of the device as before but this time when you touch off the collector of the transistor the circuit will close.
...or just don't

...mums laptop is perfectley able to act as an ap for the touch(so long as she does not mind it being turned on all of the time...well til may or June that is).
Set up the usual power scheme on the notebook(do not standby on AC when lid is closed...just in case). I'm not on xp ATM but thinks it's like this to set up
go to properties of notebook wifi card and select adhoc networks only, then manage wireless networks for that card and create a new adhoc network in the preferred networks section. Go to the properties of Ethernet card and enable Internet connection sharing. You should then tell the wifi card to connect to the previously made adhoc network and whalla!

Any card USB,CF or internal will work.
Do not expect good range with adhoc, if possible use a wireless router instead...

...there is a lot of redundant PCI garbage being sold on the webs so check the docs and review s for vista/W7 driver support(sorry I know this is obvious but with pci cards it can be a pain).

An apple wedged on the end of the pipe will be the perfect home-sourced application here
...If he's lucky the hole will be along the straight and not at a joint where those DIY exhaust leak fixing thingimy's can be used(sourced from any half decent motor factors).

...a high quality of life is attainable with or without so imo, no.
...the world is full of arrogant money hoarding ****s, it's like a sickness I suppose, the everyday need for more more more engrossing the mind with work work work.
IMO **** money, im happy with what I have.

I know very little of F@H, could you give me an example of an achievement that F@H has achieved?

...looking at the reams of footage on the webs there is never anyone around that is using their freaking head to warn drivers of ice.
You'll see it time and time again and not just on ice a patrol car will enter the scene parked alongside or behind an incident, lights off waiting for it.
WTF? Should it not be police policy to lay multiple warning signals before the scene warning others...even throw down the ruddy reflective triangle from the boot
Although some footage is somewhat amusing, most of it could have been avoided.
In weather such as this the Gov. should have a seperate 'road safety authority' responsible for educating and warning road users through public awareness.
why not use the traffic signaling system that is already in place, using the traffic lights to warn of ice on the road ahead by altering the flashing signal of the junction lights...

G25 and Windows 7 FF problem
I have all settings exactly the same on Vista 32 bit and W7 64 bit and can't understand why this is happening.
On W7 the first ~15 degrees on the G25 feels really light with little or no feel from the tyres resulting in a lot of oversteering. So to compensate I rase the FF level which means some oversteering in the first 15 degree range and a LOT of understeering thereafter.
On vista same car/track/setup it feels right as I begin to turn the wheel every degree is giving me FF from the tyres...any clues guy's/gals?

...sorry, I did not make myself clear.
I was talking of running a VM on the PC and running the software inside the VM in-turn remote desktopping to the VM from my iPod. Just a basic quick fix untill the real goods arrive
...noone you know knows the LFS TCP/IP Socket ropes???
...another option I suppose is to run a windows VM at a screen size of 480 X 320(is that possible?)with LFS Virtual Dashboard, I'm guessing that that size would not suit the software though...LFS Dashboard designed for 480 X 320 might work

Six hundred and thirty miles you've driven, how come you've become so frustrated with a product that you have not fully used yet???
...sat behind some old bitch in a brand new 4x4 for an hour on the way home going 10kph!!!

+1 - imo most of the suggestions will still be posted.
This would also save a lot too, a msg like this:
I admire the time and effort in your post but there is a lot of fail around here.
