Ok gang,
I can calibrate the wheel just fine.  When I select the brake or
the accel, I am then asked to "brake"  so I push the brake and
nothing happens.  I have tried this with joystick and then again
with wheel selected.  I can assign a keyboard key to accel and brake
and the wheel works fine.  Its just the pedals that don't respond.
I have a T2, so if anyone could help I'd be grateful.

P.S.  The wheel and pedals work fine in N1.

Thanks

Dunno how N2 works but are u using the litle adaptor that came with your
T2?

This thingie changes the pedals from beeing the hotizontal accis of joy
2 to beeing the vertikal accis of joy 1  - I think...

Maybe this willl help.

One suggestion.  Try calibrating joysticks first (bottom left of the
setup screen).  Does the routine see your gas/brake as joystick 2?  If
so you can use gas/brake as joystick 2 in the top calibration portion,
otherwise change the setting to the joystick # that was read by the
bottom joystick calibration tests.

A buddy of mine had the same problem.  If you're not using the pass through
adapter that Thrustmaster shipped with the T-2, then the pedals should be
calibrated using joystick 2.  If you are using the adapter, then calibrate
the wheel and the pedals at joystick 1.  If you aren't using the adapter
and it won't calibrate using joy 2, then *use* the adapter, and try it
using joy 1.

Hope this helps, I have a T-2 and it works fine with the pedals in N2

Any help would be appreciated,
Kevin Earls

thanks for replying, I have the adaptor in place.  I copied the
control.cfg file from N1 to N2.  This at least allowed the game to
understand the brake and accel were going to be on joy1.  The problem
is that I still cannot get the calibration to work.  So of course
when I enter into the game the brakes and accel do not respond.
I have tried running the .exe instead of the .bat to launch the
program but get the same results.  At the moment the best I can do
is use the wheel and use the keyboard to brake and accel.  which
sucks.   :(

If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know.

I had the exact same problem.  After a few hours of screwing around I
deleated the game and reinstalled it and it worked fine. FWIW

Both pedals are on the same axis.  Are you calibrating them by fully
depressing one, releasing it FULLY, then depress the other, and release it
FULLY?  The calibration gauge (?) should go be centered without pressing
either pedal, and go to one extreme when you press the throttle, and the
other extreme for brake.  BTW, I am NOT using a game card, and have 3
buddies who are also running Nascar 2 who don't use game cards either.

e-mail me if you need more assistance.

If you are using the adapter that came with the T2 make sure you click
on calibrate joystick 2 even though you are not using it. Just click
on calibrate joystick 2 and then hit enter and then calibrate joystick
1. It works great fo me after this little exercise. Good Lauck Dave K.

Mike try checking as to what your controls are set for in the control area.
 Your pedals my work but you might have gas assigned to the space bar or
something weird like that.

Any ideas out there?

I tried to copy the calib.??? from N1 to N2 and the all I got was
full gas when I went to race.  I have sent a note to Tech support and
was told because of the holidays they are 4 days behind

I don't know if this will work with N2, but used to help out in NASCAR1.
. .  Try deleting the control.cfg file in the NASCAR2 file and then
reconfigure everything from scratch.

You might also have to delete the calib.val file.

Make backups before you delete just in case!
