Help. What Is the Logic For Pitting. Every Time I Pit Under Yellow, I Lose Major Track Position. But The Computer Always Seems To Still Remain In Contention.

Well, first of all only pit when it is to your benefit. I usually use as a rule of thumb -- pit under yellow if the fuel is 1/2 or less. If you are going to pit under the yellow, you must pit the first time the pits are open. You will lose positions to those who do not pit under the yellow. You should only lose 1 or 2 to those who do pit. If track position is more important than new tires and more fuel, stay out on the track. This can be especially helpful on tracks which tend to have more yellows. One more thought: Hopefully you are the cause of the yellow, you could be losing major time if your crew also has to repair damage! -- **************************** Michael E.

I have a Diamond Edge 3D with digital joystick port. When I use the T-2 with the Edge 3D, the wheel works, but not the pedals. I can't use the Thrustmaster ACM game card because I can't disable the joystick port on the Edge 3D - because there are no jumpers on the Edge 3D! I have disabled all other joystick ports on my system. I have calibrated in WIndows, with Thrustmaster software, and in Nascar. I have e-mailed, faxed, and posted to Diamond, but get no response. I find it interesting that they bundled Nascar with the Edge 3D when it has this kind of problem. I have called Thrustmaster, and they said that they couldn't help. They said they were getting a lot of calls, but that Diamond had not yet sent them an Edge 3D card to test with. I am no a computer guru, but I can follow directions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Driving with the keyboard stinks!
