Yes I had it enabled. I will now disable the option and retest all the sims. I hope this works. I am so desperate to race!

Ok I have exited from that Icon. I also lakes the pedals from the old Nascar Pro wheel better than the digital pedals. anyway I can swap pedals? But first I must get the wheel working properly. Also how do I change the axis from the pedals. I do not see a switch on the wheel. thanx.

I installed the wheel today. I just installed the latest drivers from Thrustmaster. I have DX7a. I am now experiencing major slow downs with this wheel. 15 fps in GPL, N3, and NL 7 fps in RC2k 8 fps in F1 2000 and yet Viper Racing still gets 60 fps Before this I had the regular Nascar Pro Wheel which had no problems. Can anybody help me? thanx.

I have no experience with the TM NASCAR Pro Digital wheel, but I recall hearing that the TM FF wheel was HORRIBLE with respect to slowdowns and such. If the Digital is based on the electronics from the FF version, make sure that you don't have FF enabled in either the game or Thrustmaster's setup utility for the wheel. Let us all know if this helps, as this is a great price on a digital wheel. -- JB In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] (TRUSRS85) wrote: > I installed the wheel today.

$30 is a great deal! There is nothing about FF in the setup thingy. ANd I do not have it enabled anywhere. argh! I dunno what to do! please help me! thanx

Try this: Go into the Control Panel, then go into the Game Controllers (where you calibrate your wheels/joysticks) and check to see if you have the "Poll with interrupts enabled" feature selected under the "Advanced" tab. If so, de-select that option (if not, select it), and then see if that affects performance. Dunno if this will have any effect at all on your system, but it can't hurt to try. -- JB In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] (TRUSRS85) wrote: > > > >I have no experience with the TM NASCAR Pro Digital wheel, but Irecall > >hearing that the TM FF wheel was HORRIBLE with respect to slowdownsand > >such.

I've had this wheel for a few months now and haven't noticed any slow downs in any of the racing games (GPL, N3, SCGT, RC2000). The only problem that I'm aware of is the buggy calibration software TM used and you can side step it by doing the following: control panel, game controller, remove the wheel from your list of controllers, then add it again, but don't go into the calibration screen, get out of the controller window, back to the desktop, start one of your games and calibrate within the game. I, personally, like the wheel, once you get past TM's buggy software it is a great deal, especially at the prices I've seen lately.

It's a very useless keyboard emulation thing that does NOT work correctly and will cause slowdowns on certain systems. You do not need it to use the wheel in games either. Most can recognise all the buttons. Make sure you pick the DirectX driver in the Papy sims to see all the buttons. It's a really stable accurate wheel once you get past the Guillemot driver kit. Only thing I pick on: the brake pedal should have had full travel as well. Later. -Mark Gums

Well I finally got it working today I disabled check for poll interrupts and I also disabled the keyboard emulation thingy in the bottom right of my cpu. The only thing is now I have to recalibrate the wheel everytime I load up the cpu. Also how can I get this wheel to work in ICR2? I run the dos version through windows. thanx. Also the pedals suck. How can I make them better? thanx.
