FTR Gold 6.20

NOTE: FTR withdrew inbuilt support for vPedals after FTR GOLD version v2.1 . (maybe they wanted to sell more FTR branded pedals).

BUT WE HAVE A WORKAROUND using a third party app –  Pedable

This has been tested on Windows 10 + FTR Gold 6.2.0

Trouble shooting tip #2 ( FTR Gold: )

If you are unable to get the FTR player to respond to the vpedal please open the Games Controller ( My Computer > Control Panel > Games controller) click on the add button “add 2-axis, 2- button joystick” so it looks like the high lighted part of the image below

Games port & USB versions of Vpedal’s are seen by windows as Joysticks and are shown that way by the system information image below.

To access the screen above you click on the word FTR Gold in the top left hand part of the player ( as shown below ) then click on the system info button.
