It works fine. Make sure you are using a compatible profile in your sidewinder software. The Nascar II profile works great. When you are in N3, make sure you have DirectX selected as your joystick driver. Re-calibrate the wheel from within N3. It uses the calibration for both joysticks. Also, the MSFF wheel does not work correctly with Win2K, in case that's your OS. ~daxe

Hmm, lets see, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE, Windows 2000 on Ms FF Wheel all tested fine. Though, you must make sure you wheel is recognized and activated in the control panel joystick control settings. if active, in n3, make sure you do calibrate both 1 and 2 calibration choices, and then start selecting the options using the DirectX device system -- Sincerely, Mark F.

Just a thought. Have you tried to and edit the profiles or create on totally in the control panel? Make that profile active and N3 should recognize it.

If you look in your N3 folder, there are 2 files named calib.val and controller.cfg (or something, I'm at work and don't have it installed here :-), delete these 2 files and try setting up your controller again in N3......

The guy in Electronics Botique told me there are problems with the Microsoft wheels and Windows 98, 2nd edition.. perhaps if you are using that operating system it has something to do with it.. good luck, Andrew IM494 wrote: > bought microsoft steering wheel.calibrated it in the control panel but it will > not reconize it when i play nascar3.have played nascar 3 lots of times with > keyboard and joystick so i do not think it is the game.can anyone tell me how i > can get it to calibrate in the game so i can use my steering wheel?

I presume you remembered to calibrate the wheel in N3 as well and assigned all the functions properly. Try switching to combined axis on the pedals as well.

how do i make a profile?

how do i make a profile?

I have the SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel (USB) as well as a MS SideWinder 3D Pro Joystick connected to the game port. You must reassign the controller you wish to use to controller ID 1...the default for most games. Open the SideWinder Game Controller Software and you'll find the selection under the advanced tab.

Yea, and I should just add, you have to do it every time you reboot the computer too. Why-oh-why can't MS fix this annoyance??? -- Nos
