Had to follow up with the news that unplugging the wheel from the USB port and replugging it seems to have sorted it out for the most part. Still getting a bit of jitter from the throttle axis, so maybe it is a function of a pot going south. But useable again, at least for now.

Add one more ditto. Haven't had my DFP very long, and it's worked fine before this. Hadn't used it for a week or so and fired up rFactor, immediately noticing the throttle wasn't working right. Shut it down and tried GPL - no luck. Rebooted my PC and looked at it directly using DXTweak. Erratic to no response from the throttle axis, unless I moved the steering wheel. Leave the wheel still for any time at all and the throttle response goes away again. Wiggle the wheel a little and the throttle comes back and works fine again until you leave the wheel still. And oddly enough, constantly moving the brake seems to have the same effect - if I pump the brake nonstop, the throttle axis response is completely normal. Leave the brake alone and the throttle drops out.

It's like it's going into some kind of sleep mode, but only the steering and brake will wake it up. Weird...

Same problem here also... :( I have changed the pedal pots to the new ones, however the problem still occurs. Anyone know the reason for this behaviour?

I have the exact same problem. I have had the DFP for about 3 months. The brake pedal works fine but the throttle only works when I am physically turning the wheel. If i unplug it the throttle will work for a couple minutes before it starts doing the same thing. Its making it impossible for me to play anything with this wheel. I am very frustrated.

Hi, I have a DFP and ECCI pedals. Sometimes I have the same problem exactly as you described. To fix it I simply un plug the pedals (not from the wheel, but from my pedals) and plug it back in. Sometimes it doesnt work, or its the same problem on the other pedal so I unplug it agian. If your pedals dont unplug like mine, unplugging from the wheel. I dont know why it happens, I think its a problem in the wheel, not in the pedals.

I just got this wheel and love it. The last two days I have had a strange problem. The gas and brake randomly stop responding. Then I noticed if I turn the wheel while pressing the pedals they work fine. This happens in several applications as well as in Windows game controllers. I have a dual-core processor and tried setting affinity to 1 for the affected games but it didnt help.
