Should I still buy a T2, or wait???

7 posts by 7 people · 14 Sep 1996 - 23 Sep 1996

Would anyone suggest that I still buy the T2, or wait for another cheap, good wheel?? I am considering this because my Virtual Pilot Pro is screwed up and CH Products won't answer my e-mail, so I'm screwed there.. I know Thrustmaster is coming out with a new wheel, is it gonna be much better and/or expensive than the T2?? I would probably still use my CH Pedals for pedals, as they are the best I've ever used (I don't like the T2 pedals) I don't have the kind of money to buy something like the TSW or anything, and I'm not electronically inclined to build my own (Wally's page is *VERY* confusing to me)...

I use my T2 on a daily basis-especially since you can use the pedals in other games for various things. I thought it was an excellent investment for ***-and Thrustmasters customer support is the icing on the cake!
After reading the abuse some have suffered while asking how to run NASCAR under Windows 95, I almost hesitate to ask this question. I run NT, and have setup a PIF file to run NASCAR in a DOS window, however I constantly get the error message that there is not enough low memory available. If I boot up off a floppy and run the program from my optical disk, everything works fine. Has anyone had any experience with this? Any hints much appreciated. -- Doug Schneider Esquimalt Defence Research Detachment TEL604-363-4850 Building 199 C.F.B. Esquimalt "Keep yer stick on the ice!" F.M.O. Victoria, B.C. V0S 1B0

I run NT also and would love to be able to run without rebooting. Tim Daley Expertec Corporation (313)451-2272 Providers of Software Solutions and Expertise http://www.expertecinc.com "The best things in life....aren't THINGS!!! __________________________________________________

You can't. WindowsNT will not allow direct access to any hardware by any programs. This mostly effects DOS-based games, however Windows95 games shouldn't have too much trouble with NT 4.0, if I'm not mistaken. NT was built more for security than ability to play games. You'll probably see better performance playing from DOS anyway, even if NT allowed you to play in a window.

I use system commander which allows me to boot into multiple OS's. It is almost like the NT boot manager. It allows me to boot into DOS (clean), DOS (net), DOS (Game) , NT, and Win95. Yes it does still take a reboot. But you gota pay if you wanta play. Troy Troy ----------------------------- Gotta get a tagline [TTS net]
