Joystick problem with NASCAR

by Terje Wold Johans » Fri, 10 Feb 1995 06:04:18

I have a Gravis Analog Pro joystick. I've just bought NASCAR even though
I play ICR like never before. I discovered that I have a joystick problem
with NASCAR. I start the game in VGA mode and calibrate the joystick.
When I finished calibrating and gone back to the option menu the selection
highlight begin running up or down the menu.
I have used the GRAVCOMP program to finetune my joystick but to no avail.
It's only NASCAR that I have a problem with. ICR and F1GP works just fine.
I have version 1.2 of NASCAR.

I have noticed that the readings from my joystick when I calibrates are
somewhat erratic, just as they would be since the behaviour of the
joystick is quite erratic, too. These readings are wrong since I get a
perfect reading in every other program that uses a joystick.

I know that NASCAR is quite demanding when it comes to hardware.
I have only 4Mb of RAM and a DX/2 66, I don't know if NASCAR is
screwing up because of my lack of RAM. My joystick is connected to a
Ultrasound soundcard.

Can anyone come to my rescue?

There is definitely a patch out there. I have it. It's (v1.0 -> v1.2)
                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I haven't seen at the Papyrus site or any other but it exists.
I got it through alternative sources.

There IS a patch out there, but it's 1.0->1.1. 1.2 is soon to be out
according to Jane at Papyrus.
