Has anyone else still got Nascar 2 lurch? I've tried all of Sierra's
patches but at least once a lap I get a sharp piece of braking (without my
foot touching the pedal) and then a lurch, always to the right.
I'm using a Digital Edge F1 Sim wheel with an Intel P200 machine and
Diamond 3D Edge graphics card.
Any help would really be appreciated, since I just downloaded a touring
cars patch and I'm dying to go racing!

I thought it was just my very cheap joystick! Now youv'e got me
wondering.
I have refrained from running N2 for quite some time now 'cause that "lurch"
takes all the fun out of it.
Been saving up for a GP1 wheel, thinking this would solve the problem.
Now I'm not so sure...

With the last patch I haven't seen any controller problems. I think the
middle patch created the lurch for those that never had it before. But
to the best of my knowledge the final patch fixed it for everybody. If
you still have this problem after installing the final patch, I would
suggest do a fresh install and re-patch.

Hilights of a low end system :)
48megs ram (though most of it is just to get the loooonnng replays :)
creative Graphics Blaster 3d (4meg pci bus)
addonics sound vision 500 sound card (bleck)
14" svga monitor (double bleck)
Ch products Gamecard 3 (just added this, and it STOPPED the twitching in
the calibration screen. not manually adjustable, as the acm card is, but
software adjustable to 32 different settings, and a special setting just
for the T2 )
I have controlled the game with :
Logitech Wingman joystick (quite a good stick, for a cheapo)
Gravis Blackhawk joystick (another nice stick, but no trim tabs :( )
and finally, my latest addition ,which I am sure I will love, when I
learn to drive with it...
Formula T2 by thrustmaster.
I run in simulation mode, shift help on, 640 x 480, skids and paint, car
textures, and grandstands on, draw 5 front, 2 rear, hear 3, and run with
no noticeable hiccups (unless a bunch of cars are in the pits when I
pass, and then only chops for a second)
I believe that my most important addition was the gamecard. it seemed to
negate some of the NON-driver input twitches a LOT .
sorry to ramble, But it was a post somewhat similar to mine, which
helped me decide which way to go... never can tell what will help :)

>It's not always the game, it could be the pots
Carefully open your respective controller (Wheel or joystick), and
locate the metal device(s) - pots. You will see wires leading to/from
here and a rotating shaft-like mechanism. Get a can of "Tuner Control"
Cleaner & Lub (Radio Shack has this for around $8 US or so. Put the
thin strawlike tube on the nozzle and give each of these pots a few
squirts on the part that rotates near to where the wires connect. Work
your wheel or stick around a little while doing this.
I know some have not had success with this method (pot could be shot I
suppose) but I do know of alot with success including myself so far.
BTW, Ironically, the Wingman Extreme was only used for a month or so.
I generally give my T2 wheel this treatment every 3 or 4 months and
all has been fine so far for nearly two years now.
Hope this helps solve some of your problems!
