Al E. Gator-    All PC racing sims can detect if you are trying to run
the sim with a gamepad! You need to get a wheel or at least a decent
joystick <ggg.> In all seriousness, if you can get the pad to calibrate
in the Win95 Controller program in the Control Panel then you should be
able to use it in the sim. You may have to try and tell the sim you are
using a joystick and go from there.
Good luck, all the best, Mike

I started out using a game pad befor I got a wheel. Two big differences;
with a game pad you can't run as fast and you wear out your tires twice
as fast. It's ok for starting out but you'll want a wheel befor long.
As far as your problem, I don't remember having a problem like that when
I used a game pad. Maybe you have to check out the calibration in the
control panel/joystick in windows95 like you do for a wheel. Good
luck...
