I just bought a Thrustmaster Nascar Pro wheel and pedals and I'm not
sure if they are calibating correctly because in GPL the arms of the
driver shake badly even when I'm in the pits. What can I do to correct
this?  I have a Thrustmaster ACM card and have use the calibration
program with it.  The Propanel program that came on a CD with the
Thrustmaster is installed also.  When I use it though in WIN95 contol
panel,  the crosshairs are not lined up in the middle of the calibration
chart and do not move much as all whem I turn the wheel.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks to anyone who
responds.

Do you have the gameport on your soundcard totally disabled?  This may
be caused by cross polling both the soundcard's gameport and the ACM.
Win95 calibrations don't seem to show much movement on the screen.

One suggestion, try turning off the pedals and see if the steering still
shows shakey in GPL.

Do you get the same results with direct input vs. generic?

Does TMScope show a shakey cross-hair for the steering?

Got a report back that the problem was having "Poll with interrupts
enabled" checked in the Advanced Game Controllers applet.  I totally
forgot about that bastardly box.

Just a heads up....  Uncheck that box for more steady/clean calibrations
in Win95.
