N2 and MS Force Feedback Steering Wheel

by marcst.. » Sun, 16 May 1999 04:00:00

Can anyone tell me if the MS Force Feedback steering wheel can be used with
Nascar Racing 2. That is as a non force feedback steering wheel of course. N2
doesn't support the ff feature. Anyone has good experiences. I am thinking of
buying a force fedback steering wheel but want to keep on playing N2 as well.

Thanks

The best you can do is get NR1999 and run the WINDOWS version. The
DOS version of the game which is required for multiplay (which is not
clearly labeled on the box) freaks out on the digital inputs of *EVERY*
force feedback wheel on the market. So if you only wish to play Nascar
Racing offline (by yourself) you can use a FF wheel if you run the Win
version of NR1999. And if you can somehow come up with a way to
make the FF wheel work with the DOS version of NR1999 you are a
HERO!

Tried it with the NROS demo. It didn't like it at all. Calibration was a
joke - even under Win98, drivers et al.

You're STILL running the DOS version of the game - which is where the
problem is.  Papyrus (wisely AT THE TIME) decided to write their own
joystick drivers - ignoring whatever Windows wants to do.  So even if
you're running the DOS .exe in a "window" under Windows, your digital
stick won't work.  The ONLY way to run ANY multiplayer so far is using
a DOS .exe.  You'll have to either: eschew multiplayer or get a second
(NON-FF) wheel.
