My wife has given me an ultimatum! She said "I've had enough of you and
these racing sims, all you've done for the last 6 months is play GP2. And
when I demand some attention, what do you do? you go and buy Nascar2. THATS
IT!! ITS ME OR N2!"
I'm really gonna miss her.<g>

Wives versus NASCAR Racing 2, plus joystick problems
A humorous thread about a wife's ultimatum over racing sims drew many jokes about spouses needing a 'patch'. Mixed in was a real problem with joysticks not calibrating in NASCAR Racing 2 under some Windows 95 versions, which running in DOS mode avoided.
Automated summary.
I am in a similar situtation with mine. What do ya know
her name is Kim also. I guess this must be a problem
specific to Kim's :)

lap. I went to the pits under caution but no others on my lap did.
Once the grenn came out the all pitted. I waited for them so I would
have people on my lap since they all went a lap down. I started
noticing that they would never pit under caution. I caused some wrecks
just to see. Sterling Marlin was in the lead and he would pull down as
if to pit but always duck out. I finnaly figured out why there were so
few on the lead lap---THEY AREN'T PITTING UNDER CAUTION!!

I built a P133 for a friend of mine recently, and he bought me N2
for a Xmas present... I got the N2 to work great on my machine P120,
and he bought a copy for himself so we could play over the phone... I
installed N2 on his machine, and can't get the joystick to work... I
tested everything, and even during the install the joystick 'passed'...
And we tested it too (full motion on the square, and 2 buttons work
fine). When we try to set up/calibrate the controls in OPTIONS,
nothing... The slide bar doesn't move, or anything... When you hit a
button on the joystick (while trying to calibrate), the screen goes
back to options (so it at least sees the joystick because the button
did something...)
I checked the joystick in control panel (W95), it was correct... I
even brought my setup (CH Pilot, Ch Pedals which works on my machine)
and got the same results... The joystick works fine in FSW95, F22, and
other W95 games... He HATES playing with the keyboard, and tech
support in Washington State is snowed under...
Any body else have this problem??? Thanks in advance!

this problem with Serpent Racing's VRC-1. It is an adaptor to allow using
an R/C transmitter to play computer games. He has similar problems, saying
eh cannot calibrate it from the option controls menu, but during the
install it seemed to work for him.
guys can put your heads together to figure this one out..

Joystick problems here also. It seems every 4-5 loads on N2 the routine
reverts back to keyboard and I have to re-do the Joystick set-up routine.
Must be a bug. (either in the program or me)

I have noticed that when I start N2 from Win95, sometimes my
joysticks do not register. When I calibrate within N2 some (or all)
of the axes report a constant -1, while some axes might calibrate
normally. This hasn't happened if I shutdown win95 to DOS mode or run
in DOS 6.2. I haven't tested enough to see if its a Rendition vs.
SVGA thing. If I restart N2 a second time it usually works. I'm
using a CH Auto3 joystick card and a Reactor video card.
Pick one or more: Model Rockets (competition-NERCB) / PCs (even Atari!) /
Papyrus ICR-ICR2-NCR / Who needs a life when you have multiple non-lives?

Nope, not Win 95b (OSR2) per se. I'm using that version, although I've
chosen to remain with FAT16 for compatibility. Running TM T2 through TM
ACM gamecard, calibrated under Win95's routine, & checked under DOS via
TM's TMS.EXE. Detects and calibrates in NASCAR 2 no problem under DOS,
irrespective of whether I boot directly to DOS 7.1 or via shutting down
Win95. System is 32Mb iP5-133 with other gameport on Sb16PnP disabled.
Same applies to my other system, similar & also Win95b, except no TM ACM
g/c. Gameport used is the SB16PnP default enabled. So far I've only
tried the joystick (CH flightstick) on this one, but it calibrates and
works as expected.
BTW, I use CTLOAD to load my (real mode) CD device driver when required
and CTCM for (real mode) SB16PnP use when booting directly from DOS.
Hope this info assists.

Well you are using 95b so IMO it could still be that. Honestly I'm not sure if
my system was using Fat 32 or not, I didn't have it loaded long enough or
cared enough to really check that at the time. So maybe then some sytems with
95b won't calibrate N2 joysticks under windows, since I see you do have a
system with 95b working with Nascar.
God Bless you, your gonna need it. It was a pain in the ass for me. Get rid of
95b is my final word on it. Good luck.
Q.B.M.
Very Interesting. This is definetly a problem specific to Kim's and
Christines. I recommend to all N2 ***s that they stay away from
Kim's and Christine's as they have a deep rooted psycological
problem regarding Nascar2 and Racing in general.
Frank,
Problem for me is even worse. Check this out. My Kim version does
not even like football. For that matter she hates all sports. Man I
am screwed. And to make it worse she wants out little boy (on the
way 7mos pregnant) to do arts and ***like that. (I am
gettin him a mini sprint as soon as he can sit up.):

I have conducted significant long term studies involving great sacrifice,
and have determined that this problem goes well beyond Kim's and Nascar2.
I've personally seen the problem exhibited by Lynn's with Nascar1 and
Nascar2 (and just about anything else I enjoy). I plan to continue my
research as long as possible or until I wake up one morning with my Joystick
cut off.

I'll still stand by what I say as a possibility. I have two systems that are
100% harware exact. One system had 95b the other 95. 95b would calibrate under
win '95 for the life of it. After a week of trying the obvious stuff. I
reinstalled 95 as this was the only system I had with 95b running. And it
worked for me, what can I say?

Are you still having troubles?? Luck with computers is sometimes all we have.
Not all problems like the one were discussing is documented anywhere, so what
do you have left? Ok it's not luck it's just trying everything possible and
hoping that one of countless ideas comes through.
RADO:
REPLY:
Hold on I'm having no problem. This is getting like a Twighlight Zone episode.
I simply gave an idea on what the problem could be if somebody isn't getting a
joystick calibrated running N2 through '95B. I would like to add though that
I'm not using the adapter on any of my 4 systems, and they all are running
through Win 95. I believe you need the converter for Win '95 games and/or
calibrating the wheel inside of Win '95.
REPLY:
Then please tell me what was the problem with my system?? :)
You now for sure there isn't a particular setup in which win 95b could be
causing a problem with N2? Hey you might be right, I can't prove it, just a
possible lookse for someone with this problem in the future.
You can tell a diff. between TM ACM and SB joyport?
Q.B.M.
>Well you are using 95b so IMO it could still be that.
Huh?????
Hehehe...it'd sure help if you knew, 'cause that's probably the only OS
software difference between our base OS installations.
Win95 Operating System Release 2, Win95b, Win95 (Build 4.00.95.1111)
all=the same animal, and are only available OEM (supposedly..hehehe)
with new systems. The only difference on any two systems doing a default
install is whether they choose to use 16 or 32bit FAT if the disk is
unpartitioned. If you didn't specifically run FDISK, (re-)partition and
(re-)format prior to installation, you've probably just used the 16bit
FAT anyway without knowing.
I have it loaded on 3 seperate Win95 peer LANned systems in home and it
outperforms the original release by miles in terms of stability and
features. I've had it installed for several months now and thoroughly
flogged it...so I'm not speaking from an e***d new buyers academic
perspective. <G>
"some sytems (sic)" usually = a hardware problem...or "finger
trouble".<G>
Luck isn't what is required. Knowledge is, but thank you for the
spiritual benediction. <G>
I launch N2 either from a shortcut I've constructed on the desktop &
start menu which shuts down Win95 & launches N2 in an exclusive DOS 7.1
session, so I'm running under DOS 7.1 with only the Win95 stub in memory
which is inconsequential in terms of performance, or I simply boot from
an already launched exclusive DOS 7.1 session.
In both cases, my T2 has previously been set up *CORRECTLY*, calibrated
and tested in Win95 and again upon booting into DOS, set up, calibrated
and tested under TM's TMS.EXE prior to launching N2 where I have
similarly selected wheel (linear) & calibrated the unit. (Only
nescessary once upon install and setup of NASACAR2)
I am using the T2 signal/axis 'converter' which you need if you are
gonna' run ANY game with a T2 under Win95 be it release 1, or 2.
Are you using this, as if not this could be the source of your problem?
For instance Need For Speed SE won't even see your T2 if you don't have
this device. NASCAR2 should, but you won't get a reliable T2 response if
you are running in a Win95 virtual DOS window. Running under DOS without
the converter should be fine though.
I reiterate, the problem isn't Win 95b. BTW, I am also running the T2
through a TM ACM speed adjustable gamecard and not the port on my
(disabled) SB16PnP, although the SB16PnP seems to work 'reasonably' well
for the CH joystick connected to PC#2.
