There is a bug in the release version of NR2002S if you have 3
controllers
or more attached that causes some axes to disappear. It will be fixed in
the
patch.

First, you MUST use the direct driver in NR2002, for the USB Shifter to work..
Second, *on my system*, the shifter MUST be number 1 (Controller #1) in the
"Windows--> Control panel--> Joystick" screen.. Also, I didn't need to use the
shifter utility.. Make sure your systems bios has the USB decives "enabled" and when
you first plug it in you should get the "Found new hardware" screen, where it
installs the USB driver.. (Think I saw in one of your posts where your disabling
this?) Anyway, let windows install the driver, and then make the shifter controller
#1 in the Joystick section. Then go to the Joystick's "properties" and see if you
can go through all the buttons 1-8, by shifting.. Once that works, go into the game
and pick the "Direct Driver"..Then on into the car.. See if that does it.. Good
Luck! Mick
