I'm about to purchase N3, but I wonder whether it installs/requires DirectX
7? I've seen some negative comments about DirectX 7, in particular, on the
the Thrustmaster site.

I'm interested in the game, but I don't want to trash my ability to run
(steer?) GPL, F1RS and SCGT.

What's the scoop?

N3 installs DX6.1.

DX7 played hell with my joystick/T-master SuperSport detection--I'm staying
away from it.

It also messes up the MS SideWinder USB Pro when connected via USB.

DX 7 is *** stuff...

I've got DX7, and I have absolutely NO problems! For me, that's a wonder.
Why? Umm...are you familiar with the Midas legend, that everything he
touched turned to gold? Well, every computer that *I* touch turns to junk!

I have a generic game pad, a T2 wheel, and a stock, custom-built PIII
Gateway system, fully loaded.

Neither do I. Homebuilt PII/450~V3/3000AGP~SBLive!~MSFF

Just one question....what does "stock, custom built" mean?

Once I put DX7 on my system (K6/2-450, SBLive, V3-2000AGP), the only
controller that would be recognized was the one that was connected at the
time DX7 was loaded (be it my T2 wheel or Sidewinder gamepad). I tried the
uninstallers that are out there, no luck. There was only one solution,
format and reload.

What's strange is a friend of mine has the exact same setup as I have, but
no problem with DX7. I say stay away if you can.

Well, it appears my mind wasn't working very well at the time I wrote that.

It was supposed to say just "custom built". Sorry for the confusion.

You know something? I know EXACTLY how that feels.
