Help with TM Super Sport problem........

by Cary Martynui » Wed, 06 Jan 1999 04:00:00

Hello. I was digging around in my CD-ROM case the other day and came
across an old version of RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP, but am running into a
problem when I try to use it.

        I have a THRUSTMASTER SUPER SPORT wheel and pedal set, but I cannot get
the game to calibrate the thing properly. Do you have any idea at all
what the problem is and how to fix it? The wheel and pedal system works
fine when being used in any WINDOWS sims, but it can't seem top work in
a DOS environment? I realize that this is ThrustMasters problem, but I
am hoping that someone may have an idea on how to correct the problem so
that I can play this sim! I have emailed Thrustmaster 4 times asking
this question, and have yet to receive a reply. If you have any ideas
about what I should try, I would really appreciate your input.

        Thanks in advance for all your help.

        Sincerely,
        Cary Martynuik

If Rally Championship is a pure DOS program and doesn't accept separate
axis for the pedals, I don't think you can get the Super Sport to work.
You can try setting the pedals to combined in the Super Sport setup
applet, and run it in a DOS box, but I doubt that RC will see the pedals
as combined.

I would agree with Mr. Carver.  The ability to split the axes in current games
comes at the expense of some older games not working.  The only DOS games that
will see the Super Sport are those that allow you to select ANY of the
joystick axes for acceleration and braking.

Of course, if someone does come up with a solution, I would be very curious to
hear how they pulled it off (ok, short of a soldering iron)
