Howdy,
Was wondering, is there a way in Windows ME to calibrate the Nascar Pro
Digital 2 to recognize three axes?
The only way I can get any racing title configured for separate axes for the
brake and accelerator is to run Thrustmaster's Mapper utility.
Is there any other way? It sure would be nice to not always have to load up
that utitlity. If I don't, I only get the x and y axis in racing games.
Thanks,
Alanb
Yes, I'd like the info also, this is a problem in Win98SE as well. The
'manual' has a picture of a three axis screen in the control panel, but the
only way I can enable 3 axis is via the Thrustmapper software and even then
the win98 control panel still only shows a 2axis item.

If you have a "Control Panel" reading at all......you have the wrong drivers
installed for your wheel. TM NASCAR Pro Digital-2 does not use the MS
Control Panel to calibrate or set the functions of the wheel. This is all
explained in either the printed manual that comes with the
wheel/peddles....and/or in several places on the TM site.

Tom,
This was the whole topic of my initial post. I can get separate axes just
fine without using Control Panel. I wondered I could calibrate separate
axes in Control Panel, thus bypassing the need for the TM software.

The printed manual clearly states you will see "ThrustmasterPro Digital 2"
in Control Panel/gaming options. Personally I still cannot access the
properties without an error message but that's another story.
BTW Tom Pabst your response was very un-helpful. I spent the last hour
digging around for my manual and browsing the TM website trying to find out
if I had done something incorrect, and all due to your post. If you cannot
answer the questions correctly then please don't waste all of our time with
BS :-) (not being a smart-ass btw)

I have a
Vendor's test wheel and the manual was VERY skimpy. I couldn't find
anything about programming the buttons, until I found the procedure by
accident...it wasn't in the manual. I also did "SEE" in the manual a
picture of the control panel for the wheel. It clearly showed the wheel and
two separate axis' for the pedals...I get the wheel, and another axis for
the pedals..a al NOT SPLIT and then I have a third axis which is visable in
properities but not active...it looks like an axis for a helicopter vertical
control rather than a brake pedal(sorry that's the closest way I could
describe it)
