I don't have one, but I have heard you need to download a new
driver from www.thrustmaster.com. The Pro Digital driver
is dated July 21, 2000. You have to do some searching under
Tech Support to find it.
I was just about to post a question about this wheel.
Have you seen the new TM Nascar Pro Digital 2 wheel
at www.thrustmaster.com? The site says the release date
is September 2000. It looks like the main difference
between the new wheel and the one you have is
"New and improved IC chipset for superior precision
and auto-calibration." So perhaps this is a hardware
fix for the problem you are seeing, along with the new
driver, and it's packaged as a new release of the wheel.
Does anybody have any scoop on this?
Note: The new TM wheel doesn't add FF. It is blue instead
of black. The description of the actual steering wheel
component has been modified. But otherwise, I don't see
any differences.
I wish it was smaller; I measured the existing Pro Digital
in the store and it's almost as big as my keyboard. I wish
Guillemot/TM would combine the Guillemot FF wheel with the
beefy TM pedals!

Before you buy.
I recently purchased a thrustmaster pro digital wheel because of price. ( 49.95
with 20.00 rebate). I attempted to install thru usb port but computer went
nuts. Control panel icon started pointing to abobe acrobat reader, lock ups,
etc.. went to tm site and found a paragraph that says if you see more than 1
controller in the list, to remove the other leaving just the digital. I still
have my nascar pro connected via game port. Could this be the problem? I
uninstalled the digital, recalibrated the nascar pro and all is fine now. I
knew I shouldn't have bought more tm crap. I'll throw it away before begging
them for support. The manual that came with the digital is pathetic.any help
would be appreciated. Trying to run N3
Thanks

Thanks for the info on the driver update Doug. I'll go dig around the TM site
and see if I can find it. I too saw the new Pro digital 2 advertised. If I cant
get this one to work I sure wont buy another. And it's blue??

Please Daddy618!!! If you get the digital to work, email me at
[email hidden] and tell me if the digital works very good, I was
going to buy one for the same reason, (49 -20 rebate) to replace broken
Nascar Pro (normal) but money is really tight!
want to know if the computer takes a big hit from the wheel?
Thank

do you have any other wheels still installed and connected?
