Just bought myself Screamer4x4. its certainly a different game compared to 1nsane, the emphasis in Screamer being *carefull* driving, compared to 1nsane's Madness! One thing though, in the free drive mode of Screamer4x4, the force feedback seems to be non exsistent! Also, the force feedback in the game is rather strange, Not sure how to describe it though. Perhaps a longer session is in order! regards - brian
I'm trying to get Screamer to recognize something other than my keyboard and am having no success. What did the options menu tell you when you tried to shift from keyboard to wheel/joystick? (All I get is a string of ????????) On 30 Dec 2000 17:41:10 GMT, [email hidden] (Brian Innes) wrote:

Odd. Its quite a challenging game though, however it could do with some improvements, for example, a rear view mirror, so you can see if you are about to run someone over! And what about the passengers? they seem to be rock solid, even when the car is jumping wildy... Still good clean fun though. - brian
Hmm. I've tried selecting an option and then moving the wheel or one of the pedals and....nothing. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but it just does not want to accept anything other than the keyboard. Have never had this problem before. :P On 30 Dec 2000 22:39:42 GMT, [email hidden] (Brian Innes) wrote:

This game doesnt support split axis , so turn it off before running game. I beleve this is correct. Collin and this one doesnt like split axis [email hidden] wrote:
