Hello. I just hooked up an older Logitech Wingman Formula (Yellow) wheel to my new computer. (The USB connection is better than using my better wheel with the PCI128 soundcard I have right now...but that will change) Anyway. The wheel is fairly nice...a little light...but ok... However it is not recoginized by Nascar 3. GPL, DTR, and N4 all pick up the wheel no problem. Is there some kind of issue with N3? If it helps my system specs are as follows. Athlon 900 Mhz T-Bird Asus A7V133 Mobo Geforce 2MX 384 MB of PC-100 (can you see where I ran out of free cash?) Soundblaster PCI 128 soundcard Logitech Formula Yellow w/USB Any help would be great thanks. (I tried a search at the old Dejanews...but it really sucks now.)

The two most likely issues; -make sure you use the latest drivers from Logitech (the ones that came with the wheel don't work well or at all) - DirectX 7.0a is a must When downloading the Logi drivers also get the Windows installer in case your running Win98. You'll need it to do the install Tinker btgoss wrote in message ...

N3 has two choices for wheel imputs...a Direct X check box and a papyrus optimized driver. Make sure the DX box is checked and you should be off and driving... dave henrie "btgoss" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:Ndtu6.276017$[email hidden]... > Hello. > I just hooked up an older Logitech Wingman Formula (Yellow) wheel to mynew > computer.
