All's well that ends well!

Got everything working thanks to Breizh.

Now my trouble is getting my lap times back to what they were using my old controller. <sigh> Practice, practice.

Quote from CSU1 :

More so the pad itself as it is the most combeersome uncomfortable piece of hardware I've put my hands on, also imo it is not in any way suited to driving games/sims.

I have long fingers, the original XBox 1 pad is the only gamepad that feels like it fits in my hands comfortably. It works nicely in LFS, the only problem I have is the springing is a bit too heavy for long races.
