It's great.....well worth the d/l as you say. Any problems might be Direct X related...it does say it needs DX8 in install.... Enjoy Morgan

I saw the menu-pop'up for DX8 but it was highlighted with a "no" and I thought the game knew I have DX8a.. Odd huh? Btw it installed just fine It's when I get into the game itself is where my porblem is! Also is a mouse cursor suppose to appear or no? Tia.. Thom_j.

I just downloaded it and tried it with my Thrustmaster Nascar Pro Digital 2. It looks good but the steering has no "dead zone" and was too sensitive. I ended up making lots of tiny corrections back and forth. There also seems to be a delay between steering input and the resulting direction change. Initially I'd overcorrect, skid, overcorrect, etc., then I got the hang of it. I can live with it, but I wish I could change the steering sensitivity. The default car has the typical front wheel drive understeer problem when you lock the brakes; you just keep going straight. If that's good or bad I don't know. Sven wrote:

Check out this article: http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/depart/mar01/stick.html Enjoy! -- JB

Hmmmmmm...haven't tried it yet, but I wonder if it will let me play Gran Tourismo2 in Connectix Virtual Game Station with my wheel -it works but there's a point when you turn the wheel at about 45 degrees where the wheels are either turned all the way or not... BTW, GT2 in VGS is VERY addictive even with the keyboard! Connectix has a mail-in rebate for VGS that makes it free at some stores. I got mine at MicroCenter and I'll net a two dollar profit!
