Does anyone but me experience occasional erratic movement from their wheel in NR2 under Win95? At first I had this problem out of a joystick, then I went to a wheel. Under DOS, no problem. Under Win95, I seem to be more friendly with the wall!! Any help would be appreciated!!

I experienced the same with a joystick in ICR2 and GP2 under Win95 (DOS-box and even in "native" DOS 7.0, IIRC). It resembled a lot the jerky movement in N2 everybody kept talking about after the first patch. I cleaned the pots, even exchanged them, only to find out that everything worked fine with a DOS 6.22 startdisk, while the problem in Win95 persisted. My half-educated guess in that matter is that either Win95's game port control collides with the game, or some Win95 job in the background occasionally screws up the timing when reading the pots. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome. \ (Not necessary if you're posting from Europe.) wopr"at"stud.uni-sb.de \ To contact me by e-mail, remove the final "2" from \ the reply-to: address.

says... did you calibrate the joystick in Win95 AND N2? is there a reason for running N2 in Windows95? -- Lannie Schafroth Pathworks Network Administrator Iowa Network Services, Inc.

I think so, but I don't remember exactly. None, other than the annoyance of having to reboot. -- Wolfgang Preiss \ E-mail copies of replies to this posting are welcome. \ (Not necessary if you're posting from Europe.) wopr"at"stud.uni-sb.de \ To contact me by e-mail, remove the final "2" from \ the reply-to: address.
