GPL and Joystick Problems ???

by David Sca » Fri, 02 Oct 1998 04:00:00

Anyone else having joystick problems with Grand Prix Legends ???

I have a T2 wheel/pedal setup hooked up via joystick port on my SB-16
card. This setup tests fine in Control Panel / *** Devices and
works flawlessly in Interstate-76, Need for Speed II SE, Need for
Speed III, Nascar 2 (in DOS box), and even Grand Prix Legends alpha.

However, upon entering GPL, I am forced to Options screen. Clicking to
assign a function (ie Accelerate) or selecting 'Generic Input' results
in a partial hourglass and a total system hang. I play a TON of games
on this system and I have had absolutely NO joystick problems.

Also, tried a Gravis Analog joystick in place of T2 and it hung as
well. Upgraded to DirectX6 and it didn't help either <sigh>

If anyone has any ideas (I already emailed Sierra support), I would
love to hear them.

Systems specs:

ABIT BH-6 motherboard, Celeron 300A, 64 MB memory
Win95 OSR2
Intergraph Intense 3D running newest video drivers
STB Blackmagic (Voodoo2) running newest 3dfx reference drivers
SB-16 soundcard (has joystick port)
Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller
Intel Pro 100/B Fast Ethernet adapter
Thrustmaster T2 Wheel / Pedal set
DirectX v5.2
Sim set to 3dfx, 640x480
