% Just picked a copy of TD4.  Trying to use it with Thrustmaster's Nascar Pro
% Racing Wheel.  Can't seem to get it to work.  Does anyone out there have any
% suggestions or ideas.  Thanks.

I don't have this program, but it should work.  You may need to set the
pedals to combined and then select the T2 option as your controller.  I
understand that you need to do this every time you fire up the program.

 Why did Accolade do this?  I don't understand why the settings are not saved
between games.  It is a pain in the ***to go in and set everything up each time
you run the game.

The other input I have to this is that I've been using the T2 wheel with it and the
steering is so bad, it is almost unplayable.  You barely turn the wheel and your car
is sideways.  You might as well use the keyboard to steer (damn near the same
effect).

I like the TD4 concept, but the implementation is horrible.  Being chased by the
cops is fun, along with the sometimes heavy traffic, but the playability still
stinks.  What is it with Accolade and driving sims (especially Test Drive -
Offroad.  What a flop!).
