n3 thrustmaster

I am running n3, need to upgrade my computer before I can run n4. I have a thrustmaster pro digital2 wheel. My question is how do you get the pedels on different axis? OS win98Se

I hope that it helps. ============================================================================== I received my wheel on 11/14/00. Ordered it from www.gamestop.com for $59.99. The only driving sim I have is NASCAR 3, so I can't testify for another sims. Setup was very easy. Since it's USB you can "Hotplug". Windows will pick it up and start the setup process. DO NOT USE the software drivers from the CD if your running Windows ME. They are for Windows 98/98SE and 2000 ONLY. Go to www.thrustmaster.com and download the new drivers version 2.19. They included support for Windows ME. After the drivers are installed you have another taskbar utility, plus a shortcut on the start/programs. Since I only have NASCAR 3, the rest of the post regards it. I have found better results or control if you use the following. Select manual, then select NASCAR 3. I didn't use the 3 axis. Once there you see what I mean. Then I used browse to navigate to the Papyrus/NASCAR 3 folder and selected the NASCAR 3 exe. Then select open and it'll take you to the Thrustmapper utility. There, you can steer left, right, use pedals, buttons, etc. I kept the pedals on combined. Go to the next tab and do the same thing. This is just testing your wheel. Now try running NASCAR 3. Calibrate your wheel, start a race and see how you like it. Now, you can select automatic in the Thrustmapper Utility if you want. You can also load presets using the utility. I tried about every way and found the above the best for control. When racing at Dega if I used any other way, the car would pull a little to the left and then drift up a bit. When using the above process the car would stay right on the line and go wherever I wanted it to. Others might have better results using the automatic or loading the presets, but I didn't. Just play with it and see what works best for your driving sim. Would I recommend the wheel, YES. I would have probably purchased a Thomas Super Wheel, but checked and I can't see paying over $220 for one. Anyway, some may like it and some may not. I personally like it so far. We'll see how it holds up though. Oh, here's some advice. The pedals do slide around, even on carpet. I found an old piece on plywood and mounted the pedals to it. Place the pedals on the plywood and put 2 screws in front, one on each side and 4 behind it. Well, you get the idea. See ya on the track as K Winstead. Kent :)

I could not find a way to make it happen either :(

I asked the question in a forum, might have been this one, and what I posted was what I got for a reply. Hope you get yours to work. Don Jennings wrote:

open the thrustmapper software, clik on the N3 file. Then you will see two tabs, one for buttons, one for axis. down near the bottom is a choice between combined/separate, choose separate. Save the file set the thrustmapper software to auto and launch N3. then calibrate the pedals and wheel, you should then be able to assign the brake & throttle to separate axis.

That's it.. IIRC, that's exactly what I tried to do but when I got into N3 to calibrate, the "third" axis where the gas should be was grayed out and not available for calibration.

There are two input options for N3. Use the Direct X one NOT the papyrus optimized toggle. dave henrie "Don Jennings" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:G5dV7.2548$[email hidden]... > "Dave Henrie" wrote ... > > open the thrustmapper software, clik on the N3 file.

Thanks Dave, I'll see how I'm rigged. "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:GUdV7.3274$6p.24459@rwcrnsc54... > There are two input options for N3. Use the Direct X one NOT thepapyrus > optimized toggle. > dave henrie
