Can someone help me with this problem: when I test my Thrustmaster
everything seems to work perfectly, accelerating, braking, steering,
no problem at all. But as soon as I want to set controls in games like
Indy Car II or Precision Racing the outcomes are unpredictable,
sometimes I have to accelerate with the brakepedal and sometimes
nothing seems to work, even not when I have saved the controls in a
file.

You may have to set(configure) the controls in EACH game. You didn't say if
this was the case...
The test(in windows) often behaves differently than the applications

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

I suspect you have the seperate or combined pedals set wrong for the game.
When games don't support seperate axis for pedals you can find very strange
things happening. There is a tick box in the Thrustmaster control panel.

I found that sometime I have to go into the Thrustmaster configuration
utility to re-calibrate my Force GT. Also, if you have it set for "separate
brake and pedal axis" try changing it to combined and then re-calibrate it.
Mine is very finicky, usually causing many trips to the calibration
department. With a little messing around I have been able to get it to work
with everything I have tried.

I know, but in no game it works properly.

You know that this wheel does not work in dos games. I believe that
Indycar II is a dos game. so it won't work.

Oops - it's a FF wheel. I didn't notice that part. But, isn't CPR a win95
game? Surely the wheel should work in a win95 application...

Oops, CPR is a windows game. I thought you ment Indycar racing II. I had also
trouble with my TM FGT Wheel when i was using Win95. Because of this i am now
using Win98 with USB. Now i don't have any problems. Does the problems also occur
in other game's?
