Screamer 2 calibration problem

This may be an old problem as I've only just put it back on now there is
a 3DFX patch but can't calibrate a T2 or Gamepad even. It centres it ok
on  the calibration screen in the setup program but wont steer left when
you get to the game. Any clues anyone.

Strange. I have had no problems with controllers with S2.
There was a fix available to allow you to select the wheel in the
controller setup options. It's a very small file that must be on the WWW
somewhere.
You should install the Thrustmaster ProPanel utility to calibrate the T2.
It is downloadable from their website.
I can verify that the 3dfx patch works well. You must do a 64k colour hi-
res install of S2 before patching.

There is another hitch about this.

When you're using the 3dfx or the mystique patch for S2, some
controllers is IMPOSSIBLE to calibrate. In the setup program it
calibrates perfectly, but in-game it is impossible to steer.

SOLUTION: Download the Screamer Rally demo from somewhere (Don't know
where :-(, but it is publicly available), and use the setup utility
from that one to set up S2. It works perfectly.

I have a mystique card, and after switching to the patch, it's like
getting a new game all together.
