Everytime I start N4 I have to recalibrate my wheel (Logitech Formula Force USB) and reset my button assignments. Is there a way to save the settings so that they are there when I start the game? Didn't have this problem with N3. Tom

I had this problem but it was mostlly due to forgetting to turn the darned wheel on before launching the game. Once the game asks you to calibrate it won't let you out of that session till all functions are "assigned" I do like the fact that you can set up multiple players each with their own settings...this way I can run with shifting enabled and set up my 5 yr old grandson with automatic shifting and some of the other "cheat" settings enabled.

something isn't right...do you turn off your wheel between uses? Do you not calibrate in windows? It should behave very much like N3. I'm thinking your wheel is giving spikes or something that convince N4 into pre-supposing you have changed the wheel. dave henrie "TheForce" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Everytime I start N4 I have to recalibrate my wheel (Logitech FormulaForce > USB) and reset my button assignments.

It's possible that your calibration file has become corrupted and is now unable to be saved properly. You might try deleting the offending controls.cfg file from your nascar4\players\player_name folder and see if it helps. -- Eric "TheForce" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Everytime I start N4 I have to recalibrate my wheel (Logitech Formula Force > USB) and reset my button assignments.

I have the same problem, but not every time I start the game. -Tony- TheForce wrote: > Everytime I start N4 I have to recalibrate my wheel (Logitech Formula Force > USB) and reset my button assignments.

I have that problem with my Force RS when I start the game and forget to plug the wheel in. Don't know if this helpds in your case but it is worth a try.
