I found that adjusting the settings for your wheel in the game helps. Not perfect but much better. No dead Zone "James Pickard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:0j9l5.2215$[email hidden]... > Is it just me, or does having 2 steering wheels, turning at differentangles

I'm with you on this. My personal preferences are for just one steering wheel only. I.E.> the one that I'm using. "James Pickard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:0j9l5.2215$[email hidden]... > Is it just me, or does having 2 steering wheels, turning at differentangles

A few thoughts about reactions to the Heat demo. 1. I have a V3 and am also restricted to 800x600 but who really cares. Also, who cares about the jaggs. The graphics are fine enough and why everyone is getting a little peeved about the limits of resolution is beyond me. 2. What's really funny here is how everyone tends to go in extremes when evaluating a game. It's either the worst game ever or it's the best game ever. Heat may be a darn good simulator but I don't think we have to praise it so much, expecting miracles at every turn and then being terribly disappointed when the miracles don't surface. (Can you find the two puns?):) Thanks, Alanb

How do you know this? Are you just hoping?

I think you should look at that name and that email address and re-access how sure you are :) -Larry "Alan Bernardo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I guess it's all a matter of preferences. I turn off the on-screen wheels on all the racing games that I can. But I hear what you are saying. "Jan Verschueren" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On screen steering wheel is a must... my monitor is at an angle to mywheel

You can always drive from the chassis view, this eliminates the steering wheel and the dash and gives you a lot more visibility! Pete "James Pickard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:0j9l5.2215$[email hidden]... > Is it just me, or does having 2 steering wheels, turning at differentangles

I think if there's been any sim in recent history that deserves the praise, It's Nascar Heat. Bravo MGI.

Is it just me, or does having 2 steering wheels, turning at different angles and different times look odd?? GP3 does it (in hardware mode), and now Nascar Heat.. and I can't find a way to turn it off.. :-( Is there somthing I need to edit.. cfg file?? Or will somone have to 'hack' the sim to do it??? If so, what do I do?? If not, can somone work it out please?? I have no expertise in this kind of thing.... I'm amazed that they didn't put that in as a default option.. Great pity.. fingers crossed for the final release...:-) James
