Problems with my Thrustmaster NASCAR Super Sport....

I just bought the Thrustmaster NASCAR Super Sport steering system and
when I try to play DOS based games (GP2, etc...) the damn thing's brake
won't work. I cannot calibrate it at all. If, while in DOS, I load
TMSCOPE to try to test the thing, the brake does not work at all!
Everything else works fine, but the brake pedal may as well not even be
there! Any ideas on how to correct this crap?

Question:  Does the brake pedal react when you calibrate via the Super
Sport applet?

In TMScope, I think you need to configure the Super Sport as the NASCAR
Pro with separate pedals.

Has anyone gotten the Supersport wheel to work with a Diamond Monster
soundcard? Is the supersport a digital device or not?

I cannot get my computer to detect the Supersport.  Right now, I have
to configure it as a Nascar Pro.  It works, but I can't use all of the
buttons on the wheel.
Even if this is a digital device, how come I can detect the Rage
gamepad, but not this wheel?

I think there is an updated driver available on the Thrustmaster support
pages for the SuperSport...  If not, let me check and see if I can find
the updated files elsewhere....  

Check http://www.thrustmaster.com

Might be noted that when calibrating "full throttle", "no throttle", "full brakes",
& "no brakes" the "shift lever" should be pressed instead of the fire button (Those
instructions are from Nascar's part of the TM site, I did it by replacing the shift
lever by the paddles...)

Hope it all works, 'cause I think the wheel is pretty good...

I haven't tried it, but I think the updated drivers for the Sprint wheel
also include the updates for the Super Sport.  Check the above site
under support and the Sprint wheel.

Since GP2 is a pure DOS program, setup via Windows control panel (or
TM's will have no affect in GP2).

In the a pure DOS environment the following axes apply to the Super
Sport:

Gas = Y1 or Joystick A Vertical
Brake = X2 or Joystick B Horizontal
Steering = X1 or Joystick A Horizontal
Top row buttons = Joystick A
Paddles = Joystick B

Select an unused controller setup in GP2 and assign the various options
(steering, brake, gas, etc.) to the above.  Make sure you have "Control
Driven Calibration" checked.  Calibrate the wheel according to the on
screen instructions and things should work fine.  

The following is the *.con file for the Super Sport using paddles for
shifting.  Place the following file in your GPSAVES folder.

begin 644 ssport.con
MOJ$]A0(                                    & 3+_#$$,!P$R" $R
:_Q R#PX 4W5P97)3<&]R=  T     .()!40
