Post#2 HELP! GPL & Wheel Calibrate Problem

by ^Frett » Thu, 22 Apr 1999 04:00:00

Hello All R.A.S. Readers;
I need help!! on Gpl & my Thrustmaster Nascar Sprint. Below
when you read you will see my problem.. Any & all help, ideas
suggestions are welcome.

the help in my "inbox"... TIA Thom j. aka ^Fretts.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

[** I want to preface that I must use paddles on the race wheel itself
for gas/brake because I can't use my feet-legs with floor pedals**]
------------------------------------------------------------------------

______________________________________________________
When I go into GPL with my TM Nascar Sprint wheel to calibrate the
rightside will not hold .1000. It will flicker from .1000 to the low
.900s.
Now I bought a new CompUSA "Formula" Race Wheel {It is almost
exactly like the Sprint}but on this wheel all the flicker is on the
leftside!
This is great {for me}for one reason; It is my brake side.. CompUSA
wheel is one fantastic wheel but 'Thrusmaster's Sprint' is easier on my
wrists, hands, fingers & tumbs!

Final Notes: Would a "acm" or another game card work better? I use
the SB PCI64 sound's joyport for my games/sims. I also found in my
control panel {under Game Controllers in the advanced tab} the box
for "Poll with interrupts enabled". It is unchecked & doesn't help if it

is checked or unchecked! I have the same
In F1RS I basically have the same problem and cant get full throttle
with my "TM Nascar Sprint" wheel. F1RS uses the same drivers in
Game Controllers in Control Panel.. I am lost & confused why this
is happening? Helpful Sim Friends: Is there any suggestions besides
rippin' the $70 Sprint apart to switch wires? Remember I must use
paddles for my gas/brake on the wheel because I can't use my feet
& legs! Please help!!
____________________________________________________
P.S. The 'CompUSA Formula Race Wheel' is still one great wheel &
I would recommend it to anyone. Especially folks who are in a similar
situation as myself. I would have never learned about this wheel if not
for John Bodin's post-review. Thanx again John ;0)

I had a similar problem with a T2.  Sometimes unchecking poll with interrups
enabled doesn't 'stick' so try it again.  I only found this out after
rebuilding the whole PC.  Worked for me, hope it does for you.
