GP2 and Thrustmaster SS Wheel - HELP

by Haines » Tue, 07 Sep 1999 04:00:00

My T2 finally died after many years of use and abuse. It had a few organ
transplants over the years and lived a long and good life. RIP. I went out and
bought Thrustmasters NASCAR Super Sport wheel 2 days ago. Installation went
well, went into Papys N99, calibrated, up and running in no time. Then went to
GP2 and I've been stuck for two days now trying to get this wheel configured
and calibrated.

The wheel comes with instructions specifically for GP2, they don't work for me.
I've tried everything I can think of.

How do you configure this wheel to work in GP2??

Since GP2 is a pure DOS program, setup via Windows control panel (or
TM's will have no affect in GP2).

In the a pure DOS environment the following axes apply to the Super
Sport:

Gas = Y1 or Joystick A Vertical
Brake = X2 or Joystick B Horizontal
Steering = X1 or Joystick A Horizontal
Top row buttons = Joystick A
Paddles = Joystick B

Select an unused controller setup in GP2 and assign the various options
(steering, brake, gas, etc.) to the above.  Make sure you have "Control
Driven Calibration" checked.  Calibrate the wheel according to the on
screen instructions and things should work fine.  

The following is the *.con file for the Super Sport using paddles for
shifting.  Place the following file in your GPSAVES folder.

begin 644 ssport.con
MOJ$]A0(                                    & 3+_#$$,!P$R" $R
:_Q R#PX 4W5P97)3<&]R=  T     .()!40

end
