Its not like nascar 2 there is no multiplayer what hanpd to it is there
away around it

rdracer

Run one of the DOS executables.

Eric

Yeah. Assuming he doesn't have one of those fancy FF wheels.
It might work. BTW, why isn't the fact that DOS is required for
multiplay clearly listed on the box??? Was papy/sierra afraid
they would not sell many copies if they made if clear that DOS
was required for multiplay in NR1999????

I use a Microsoft Force Feedback, now please tell me how to race N99 online.
Thanks

You need to run the NR1999 DOS executable for multiplay (wasn't
it clearly listed on the box?). Of course this means that you cannot
use your MS FF wheel...

I've never had a problem with the MS wheel in the DOS versions of
NR1999, but I understand others have not had as good of luck.

Eric

Are you actually implying that you can *properly* calibrate the
MS FF wheel in the DOS version of NR1999? Yes they will
calibrate but the numbers will not be stable at all. Then when
you try to race, the car will have some control (about 90%
good) but will spike the steering to the left or right about once
or twice per lap. This is not acceptable IMHO. I tried this with
a MS FF wheel connected to the MIDI gameport on my old
P5-200MMX about 6 months ago, and recently with my Logitech
FF USB wheel on my P2-450. Same result. I am sure that
papy knows about this problem. I suspect it will never get fixed.

BTW, are you saying this is not a problem/issue which papy
will be addressing?

That's why I asked the question Greg.  I CAN'T use the wheel with the DOS
executable.

You have to use the DOS version, not the Windows .EXE :(

This means bye-bye to your modern, digital controller if you are using
one :(

Yes.  I think this stinks, too.

-Larry

Actually, the issue isn't FF.  It's digital.

Most new wheels are using optical and digital, which is great.  Unless
you run N2, N1999 DOS, or NROS.

Cmon Papy.  Give us a joystick driver that can handle the PRESENT,
please!

-Larry

You can't.  Not with that wheel.

The on-line version of Nascar is called NROS.  It's hosted on TEN.  It
requires the DOS executable.  The DOS executable STILL doesn't support
digital controllers.

You have to use an old-fashioned analog controller to race NROS on-line.

It doesn't look good as far as TEN supporting the Windows version of
NR1999 online.

-Larry

One out of a thousand maybe have gotten it to work.

What ever you do, don't EVER try to recalibrate your wheel.  The odds
are you will never get it back.

-Larry

Greg,

Papy has known about this for a long time.  So far, there has been no
action on their part to correct it.

Considering most new wheels (that people can actually afford) coming out
are digital and optical (which is good) we are really screwed here.

I'm personally tired of buying and wearing out Thrustmaster TM Pro's.

-Larry

Adam,

This is a long-standing problem that only Papy can fix, and they haven't
shown much interest in it as far as I can tell.
