I can calibrate my joystick in Win 95 once, test it and it works fine. But if I go back into the same calibration and test window it will be offset a little to the left. It makes playing GP2 a little hard. Anybody have any ideas other than play in dos. I have a laptop and GP2 won't load properly in dos mode. B

I used to run my sims in DOS (as in boot form DOS floppy...) and I never had any problems. I did this because I only had NT on my disk. (Well, it worked... not too well, but...) Anyway, when I got my Reactor, I *HAD* to "up"grade to Win95, since it has no NT drivers at present, and when I did that, I discovered that I oculdn't calibrate worth diddly in Win95. In fact, it was so bad that I couldn't even get ICR2 to recognize my wheel! I went to the device manager and tried resetting the calibration there, but that didn't help. Finally, in desparation, I just copied the controls.cfg file from the original ICR2 directory. Voila! I could recalibrate trivially, and even so, it worked fine without doing so. I was quite surprised. Incidently, I have one of those Thrustmaster ACM game cards, so I know the "gain" wasn't wrong, too. I suspect it's a bug in ICR2 - in fact, I seem to remember a very early version of ICR2 had a calibration problem...
