Nascar bug with Joystick 2 Y axis

I just got the new NASCAR CD and when setting the controls, the game won't accept the Gas Pedal on my T1 as the accelerator control. It does see the Joystick 2 Y axis when calibrating and it will accept the brake pedal (J2 Y-axis ) as the braking control but it won't look at the other direction of the J2 Y-axis control for acceleration. Has anybody experienced this yet? Alex

Yeah, I had the same problem last night with mine - come to think of it I had the same problem with the demo. I got around it by copying the control.cfg file (or whatever the name is) to the NASCAR directory - worked fine. BTW, I am using an autocockpit - glad to know the problem is not with my unit. Bob

Sorry all - I screwed up..... I copied the control.cfg file from indycar to nascar - sorry about the omission.... Bob

On the demo version I found that if you push the joystick one way to set braking and the other way to set accelerator then it works.

The problem with the T1 and NASCAR is that you are using a block of wood or something behind the pedals - so they won't go down all the way. To set controls, you need to remove this so the pedal will go down all the way (just to set controls, you can then put it back to play the game). Papyrus knows about this bug and I assume will fix it in the future.

I've got the T1 with the blocks of wood and no problem. My piece of wood is maybe 3/8 inch thick, I still got a good bit of travel, maybe that's the differance. Gerald NASCAR SVGA: You can't make me go back `[1;31;42mRainbow V 1.06 for Delphi - Test Drive
