RAC Rally Demo - T2???

by John D. Courtn » Sat, 04 Jan 1997 04:00:00

Hi,
    I downloaded RAC Rally demo last night during my ISPs free time
period (good thing too, this demo is large!).  Woke up this morning
and decided to try it out.  The first thing I noticed was that the
game was not regonizing my T2 wheel.  All of my other racing sims do,
GP2 and  NASCAR2.  I tried calibrating the T2 in both Win95 and DOS
mode with no luck.  Is this feature disabled in the demo or is there
something I'am doing wrong?

Thanks,
John

P.S.  Does anyone know when/if this game will be avaiable in Canada?
What are peoples opinions of the game who allready have it?

My demo wouldn't recognize the T2.  It would register on the screen when
ca;ibrating, but would reset after each input.  Where can I get this game?

The T2 wheel uses 2 joystick axis for brake and accelate. RAC only
uses one (imagine a joystick - forward to acc. back to brake, you
cannot do both at the same time). This is a bit naff but that's
the way it is. The europress web page said that a 'converter' was
available FOC from thrustmaster that allowed a 2 axis controller
to work with RAC. Details in the FAQ on my Web page.

I like it but it does have it's problems.... see the FAQ.
