NASCAR + T1

: I have NASCAR 1.1 on CDROM and a Thrustmaster T1. I have NEVER been able : to correctly set the controls so that the right pedal is the accelerator : and the left pedal is the brake. The right pedal just never registers! : I know it's not a hardware problem, because (1) the setup works GREAT with : IndyCar, and (2) even in NASCAR I can calibrate the pedals correctly. : (In fact, they calibrate in NASCAR with exactly the same range of numbers : as I get from IndyCar.) I've tried increasing and decreasing the sensitivity : of my ACM gamecard, to no avail. : Has anyone else been able to defeat this? If so, would somebody please : send me a uuencoded copy of their working controls.cfg (control.cfg?) file? I've found that you MUST have a joystick hooked to the secondary port with my Pro Pedals, AND have the game configured for steering with the joystick for the game to work correctly with the Pedals. If this is the case with the CH Pro Pedals, maybe its the same with the T1. Randy "Sincerity is the secret to great success. Once you learn to fake that, you got it made." Swiped from Earl Kurtz :)

Yes, I did calibrate it all. Remember, I know how to do this: it works just ducky with IndyCar. Someone sent me a controls.cfg file and now it works just fine in NASCAR too! --- Brian Wong Product Marketing Engineering

I had the identical problem. I fixed it by removing the block of wood that I had to limit the travel of the pedals. Then I setup the controls and finally reinstalled the block of wood. It seems to be some sort of problem where NASCAR doesn't see a big enough change when you press the pedal with the limited travel so it thinks you haven't actually selected anything. After getting the pedals selected without the limited travel, I can then install the block, calibrate and everything works fine. -- Mike Corrigan

I believe that the 1.2 patch for nascar may fix your problem. I remember reading in the readme.txt file about a fix for joystick calibration. Good luck!

I also got someone to mail me a controls.cfg file and THAT fixed it before the 1.2 patch too. --- Brian Wong Product Marketing Engineering
