Can someone help me?!?!?

I recently bought the game Network Q Rally Championship but i can't get my
steeringwheel to work. Not with Win'95 or with Dos.
I do use the adaptor.

Please help me, becuase they do not know the answer at Thrustmaster and
Europress.

Thanks in advance for the one who will send me an answer.

I also have this same problem.  I would be interested to here from anyone
with a solution also.

The problem is that the calibration in the game goes around and around it
just won't stop. The first time the calibration went well but after i
reinstalled the game i cannot calibrate. The support at Europress doesnot
know it either but they are trying to find out what goes wrong.

Derek, can you help me?

Thanks

Derek, the Rally.cfg is the configuration file but i do not think that is
the answer because Europres sended me theirs already and it did not work
but thanks anyway!!!!. I am beginning to think that my gameport from my AWE
32 PnP is broken. I have an ACM Gamecard but it coflicts with my AWE
gameport wich i can't disable. I mailed Creative but they do not answer.

Maybe you know something

Just a thought....

I've built my own wheel and pedals, as far as I know they are correct.
They work in GP2 and function as a standard joystick in games like
doom. A test program shows that the values joystick from joystick
port change as they should, and the resistance of the pots change
as they should as well. But I couldn't get them  to calibrate in
RAC Rally, it just looped and looped...... Until I pressed the brake
pedal when it asked for the accelerator and vice versa, BINGO the
calibration completed! I just wonder if Europress***ed up? (again!)

Please let me know if this helps and I add it to the RAC RAlly
FAQ (see my web page for details)

: What exactly is the nature of the problem? I have my T2 working fine with
: Rally Championship, all I had to do was use the adapter, calibrate and away
: I went.

Some people are finding that the calibtartion just loops round and
never finishes. I'm not sure if this is due to lack of adapter
or not. The solution is to press the brake when it asks for the
accelerator and vice versa. This allows the calibration to complete
but the pedals are the wrong way aroound!

I would be VERY grateful if you could try the calibration for me without
the adapter. If it does just loop and can be completed if you
press the brake when asked for the accererator and vice versa
please let me know and I'll add it to the FAQ on my web page.

Many thanks

Neil
