Configuring the T2 for NASCAR Racing

My wife bought me a T2 wheel and pedal set for Christmas. I didn't have any problem getting it set up to run the simulation - acceleration, braking, shifting, and steering - but I have not been able to control the menus without using the keyboard. Specifically, I can't move up and down the menu selections unless I use the arrows on the keyboard. It's a minor aggravation, because I have to move my keyboard onto my lap to use it when the wheel is connected. Does everyone using a T2 with NASCAR have to control the menus with the keyboard?

I believe so. Doesnt the pedals on the T2 calibrate as joy2 x-axis. If this is the case then you cant control the menus. I believe the only way you can control the menus with a joystick or pedals is if they are calibrated as joy1 y-axis. I dont think you can control the menu from joy2 y-axis. Also make sure the joystick control for menus is on by press either control-j or just j at the main screen. You will see joystick on or joystick off at the bottom right of the screen.

>Does everyone using a T2 with NASCAR have to control the menus with the >keyboard? Yes, and to be frank I've never given it a second thought. Consider picking up some kind of keyboard shelf or articulated arm from an office supply store and rig it up to have the keyboard kinda hovering relatively close at hand. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Winston Cup 7 41 23 Busch South 34 47 Busch North 51 44 34 Mod Tour ?? 10A IGN 93 39

Dear Ed, I do not have a T2, so I don't know if this is a solution to your problem or not. I have a T1, and I use the brake and accelerator to move up and down the menu selections. I hope this helps some. Chris

>My wife bought me a T2 wheel and pedal set for Christmas. Wow! Where did you find a woman like that?? :) Sandman

> My wife bought me a T2 wheel and pedal set for Christmas. Mine too! Single guys are really missing out. Use the pedals.

It says that you can't control the menus with the wheel or pedals in both the T2 manual and the ICR2 manual. It says you have to use the keyboard. I know that this is annoying because you will probably just have moved your keyboard to make room for your T2 ;-) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Mail sent via Demon Internet - Full IP for 10/Month Tel:0181 371 1234 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I asked for one, didn't get one. Had to go out and buy my own. Maybe my E-mail to Santa got lost. :-( Ed, I *can* use the pedals, but I find it easier just to use the keyboard. -Paul Holt Destructo MotorSports
