Joystick Troubles

by Russell D. Laughlin Jr » Wed, 02 Dec 1998 04:00:00

Hey Guys,
Quick question:  I just purchased a TM Nascar Pro wheel and installed the
pro panel software that came with it and now my Saitek HOTAS system will not
calibrate.  I am able to get it to recognize the stick in the configuration
software, but not in the control panel or in pro panel.  Any Ideas how to
fix?

System:
P2 266
LX6 Mobo
64 Megs
Diamond i740 AGP
Diamond Voodoo 2
Sonic Impact sound card
Thrustmaster ACM dedicated gamecard

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Thanks,
Russ

In Win9x, the only device recognized is Device ID #1.  Many more devices
can be plugged into the other device slots, but are not seen by Win9x.
Place your HOTAS system into device ID #1, and it should calibrate.

In that case the only other thing is that the device you have selected
in the joystick applet is not the same as what you have connected.
In other words if you are using analog throttle, you better have a 3 axis
device configured.

Also you cannot have the TM wheel and Saitek X36 configured in
the joystick applet at the same time. You must ADD/REMOVE
the device from ID#1 as appropriate.
