N2 Wheel problems

If anyone can please help me I just got a new conputer a pentium 166 MMX 32 meg of ram and I wanted to try and run N2 under Windows 95.But for some reason I can't calibrate the wheel under windows or under N2.The only way I can calibrate the wheel (T2) under 95 is to but it on custom 2 axis 2 button and when it ask to calibrate is to hit the shifter a couple times.But the nothing works under N2 I can't even set the controls it's like it's not detecting my wheel completely or something oh yeah one other thing I have my T2 plugged into a game card not the sound card.The gamecard is a Ch Products Gamecard 3 Automatic/MCa.ANy help would greatly appreciated. Thanks Robert

You must have Win95 OSR2 (ver 4.00.950B). Apparently Microsoft made some change that makes it impossible for some people to use a T2 in Nascar2 when run through this version of Win95. Interestingly enough I too have this version, but my wheel works fine. Papyrus is trying to figure out what about my system allows for it to work. This seems to be a popular topic. -- The IWCCCARS Project: Q & A Representative http://www.theuspits.com/iwcccars/index.html-ssi http://userwww.service.emory.edu/~ebusch/

Robert, I had the same exact problem and fix which I posted to this NG a couple day's ago. I also have a Gamecard 3 and windows would not recognize the joysticks. I fixed it by removing the gamecard and enabling the port on my soundcard. Got a Y-adapter cable, plugged the joysticks in and everything works fine. No problems at all. Kel Calgary, Alberta CANADA

I also have Win95 problems. What i have to do is run the game then at the first game screen (Example Quick race Season Choice) exit the game back to windows then run again then mine works fine but you must do this each time you want to play. Pain in the ass but better than using a joystick. -- ***************************** Kevin Bruner Windsor, Ontario Canada *****************************

I have also had N2 problems in Win95! What I had to do was reinstall the game through DOS and since, I haven't had any problems. EXCEPTION: I still do not have any sound in DOS!!! Please help!!! Derek Pease

Please help!!! > Derek Pease If you have a 'Plug N Play' card you need to find a program called a 'plug n play configuration manager' usually found as part of a dos/win3.1 driver package for the particular sound card you have. Had a fun time getting my bro's PNP Soundblaster 16 to work with dos games. Just be careful; don't let it install any Win 3.1 drivers! It'll***up your win95 ones. -- Later. -Mark Mark Gums, Service Engineer

> thing I have my T2 plugged into a game card not the sound card.The > gamecard is a Ch Products Gamecard 3 Automatic/MCa.ANy help would greatly > appreciated. > Robert There is a choice in the custom configuration of the joystick inside win95, with the title ( is a racecar controller ). That is the one wich you need. The T2 is delivered with a adapter. The adapter switch the B joystick ax to the A joystick ax. ( I mean, the levers behind the wheel ). On my system , this works great. P.S. Sorry, i'am not so good in englisch. Eric.

Thanks for the tip Kevin. I have ICR2 and N2. The T2 works fine with ICR2 but in N2 the pedals don't work. I can calibrate them but when I try to assign accelerate and brake, the games just sits there like I"m not pressing the pedals. ICR2 works fine. Dave Henrie
