Actually the process is not as Sierra describes it, at least not as
difficult. I wonder who writes these things? Here they***things up and
then like a bunch of buffoons they compose a fix that by their estimation
takes longer than it should.
First, you do not need to be in 640x480 resolution: any will do. Second,
you don't have to be in Direct 3D mode: OpenGl will do.
Just disable the joystick port, start the game, atl-tab out, re-enable the
port, go back in, select "direct input" (the one at the bottom-- not sure
what it's called), calibrate wheel, and you're all set.
I wasn't able to calibrate wheel when I had the top button selected.
Despite this, we shouldn't have to do all this ***and a fix is warranted.
