I have recently purchased EA's F1 Championship Season but I can't get my USB
MS Precision Pro joystick to work in the game.  It is working in all other
games I have but when I start a race in F1 CS with the joystick enabled the
race begins with the steering wheel showing as turned sharply to the left
and the car on take off immediately veers left with no control/input from
the joystick.  Any suggestions please.

The other problem I have is the lack of a dash showing in SCGT.  I replaced
the original dash.mas with a 3rd party dash but even if I have my default
view to the dash mode no dash shows up.  I have added numerous cars and
tracks and use banscene.mas.  Am I missing something to get the dash to
show.  Any help here would be appreciated too.

Thanks,

Rob

  Have you calibrated it in the game yet?  There are three pages of joystick
options in F1cs2k.  Make sure you have assigned the wheel properly.  I also
have a joystick physcially connected.  If I forget to remove it in the
control panel window then my LWFF will crank hard left.  Make sure your
wheel is the first, or if that doesn't work, the only device in the game
controllers panel.

  First do you have the official 1.551 patch installed?  2nd, the 4 key will
cycle through the views, you may have to hit it a few times to get the
default dash.
3rd you may have changed cars to a vehicle that doesn't have a dash assigned
to it.  Find the alldash2.0 patch...that helps(but it's a big dload...)
