What checkbox? How and where do you map the y axis onto x axis??
I don't see anyway to do that -- what am i missing?

> Firstly, I am successfully running it in software mode on a K6-200, and it's perfectly playable. It won't recognise my voodoo1. I can get a PO of under 100 for the entire race, apart from the start, even in the rain.

> Some people with higher systems report really high (bad) Processor Occupancy. I, too have had this problem, sometimes. If you exit and re-start the game, the PO returns to normal levels. I don't know why this is. You can tell when this problem is occurring, as the menus fade really slowly. If the menus are normal speed, the game runs fine.

> FF won't work with the MSFF wheel unless you check the map Y axis onto x axis (?) check box. Also, sometimes you need to exit the game (and possibly re-boot) after setting it up.

> I get no increase in PO, or drop in frame rate with my MSFF wheel, through the gameport on a really old soundblaster AWE64.

> To get the paddles working on the MSFF wheel, map them to space and shift in the profiler.

> If you don't want to see the intro film, delete (or rename) it.

> That's all I can think of for now.

It is in the MS SW profile that you must make for GP3, under the settings
tab. So not in GP3 itself.

I'll give you the biggest tip for GP3 .....  dont moan about the
handling of the car until you put a bit of effort into getting a
decent setup.   Once you get a decent setup,  this game really kicks
ass and a steering wheel and pedals also help enormously.

Cheers.....Ken
