GPL/Thrustmaster problem

by Tom Speher » Wed, 07 Oct 1998 04:00:00

Hi. I can't get my NASCAR Pro wheel to properly work with Grand Prix
Legends. I've got the throttle/brake peddles and gear selector working
fine... the steering is the problem. First of all, I seem to be unable to
designate to the computer that I want to use the steering wheel to turn
right and left. And, for the few times I actually got that to work, the
callibrations were WAY off. Does anyone know how to straighten this out. Any
help would be appreciated.

If you are using the DirectInput option, install and use Thrustmaster's
ProPanel to setup your wheel in Win95.

I would give the generic option a try (as it bypasses Win95 all
together).

Also, read the "readme.txt" file!  When asked to select steering input,
only turn your wheel to the left.  Hopefully this is all that is
happening....

I had the same problem when I replaced my TM GrandPrix 1 with a new TM
Nascar Pro controller.  I resolved the issue by uninstalling GPL and
reinstalling it.  If you have added your controller after you installed GPL,
you might be having the same problem that I experienced.
