Still problems with thrustmaster GP1

by Peter Wai » Sun, 06 Jun 1999 04:00:00

My wheel doesn't respond to the throttle, only the wheels are moving. My
computer thinks the wheel is a ordinary joystick and i can't change it.
Can anyone help me , i can't race for over a month now and i am getting more
and more frustrated....

Thanks, Peter

We may need more information to help you solve your problem.  Use TM's
TMScope program to see if your gamecard is reading all of the axes on
your wheel correctly.  If not, then you may have a problem with your
wheel or gamecard.  If it does read it correctly then you have a problem
with how your Windows gamecard/joystick is installed configured.

Here is the URL to TMScope:
ftp://208.129.210.78/pub/library/calibration/tmscope.exe

One quick thing to check.  Make sure the plug from the wheel to the base
is firmly installed in the socket.  This latter is usually the cause of
problems like the one you explain.
