Nascar 4 and MS Gamepad (USB)

Ne1 using this by chance? I can't calibration to stay.....keeps pulling to the left....recalibrate several times within N4 and still no fix. Will get Wheel again sometime, just no space for it as of right now and it's KILLING ME> hahah I've tried leaning to the right to counteract the left-pull - doesn't work so need some alternative fixes! NE info would be greatly apprecaited -- other than try 'keyboard' :)

Cars in N4 pull to the left because that's the way the chassis is set up. It is not a calibration problem, it's something you have to deal with no matter what controller you are using. If you are stuck without a wheel for awhile I would suggest playing it in arcade mode instead of sim mode, since the arcade model doesn't have such a severe left pull. If you must play in sim mode, at least get a joystick. You can't counteract the left pull without some kind of proportional steering control.

I figured it would hav little pull to left, but as soon as i hit gas it goes WAY left......I'm runnning California and go into turn and get thrown sideways everytime. Think I'm gonna borrow buddies controller and see if it is same or if mine is little more severe when i calibrate joystick it shows arros line up centre...once i leave and then go back after trying to drive....arrows are no longer lined up! thanks for reply though

If you really want a quick check for it, put N4 in arcade mode. If pull to the left is gone-controller is fine. Left pull in N4 != controller problems. -- Fester

You might want to try switching between the Direct Input driver and the optimized driver and see if that makes any difference. The setting is somewhere in the N4 Controls menu.

I tried Optimized and it doesn't recognize controller at all. I see few T2 wheels sets pretty cheap on ebay. think it's time i just Buy ANOTHER wheel! :)
