ICR controller help..

Hello fellow netters, I was wondering if anyone else playing Indy car racing and Indy 500 was having problems with their controllers. I am trying to play them using a Quickshot Intruder flight yoke. What seems to be happening is in the straight aways the car is fine, but when I go into a corner the car jerks around and it seems that it shows the screen moving at a frame at a time. This does not happen when I use my normal joystick. It is almost like in the corners it losese contact with the controller. It does a sudden jerk to the right and does the frame at a time bit and then clears up til the next corner, but doesn't do it every time. I have tried it with both the linear and non-linear options and it still does it. I am running version 1.02 of ICR on a 386dx 40 with 4 megs. With the joystick everything works fine. Thanks for any help, Andrew

Sorry for resending this but I realized that it did not have the right sent to the above re-send it. It will never reach me but it won't bounce either. Thanks again, Andrew Heckman P.S. additional email addresses are: P.S.S. Anyone play Mario Andretti, that was a pretty cool game until

Did you go to the Options menu and re-calibrate with the other joystick? Different controllers feed the system at different rates. If you originally calibrate the game for one joystick, then change, you could experience some very strange behaviour. 2. It could be that the controller you're having problems with generates so much output that the PC is spending all of it's time processing interrupts from the port chip (guessing your running off the serial port). This tends to manifest itself more on relatively slower machines (i.e. 386 vs 486) in addition to which serial port UART the manufacturer used.
