NFS2 - problem with controls

Hi I recently bought my son Need For Speed 2. It looks pretty good but I'm having all sorts of problems with my controls. I use CH wheel and pedals (which work fine on ICR, GP and Nascar (all 2). The main problem is the steering. Although I go through all the steps to calibrate the joystick via Win95, the steering is really jerky and not realistic (there seems to be a large null zone, and a bias towards turning left). I can remedy the left bias with the trim - but this requires having the tab set to maximum (right), which surely indicates something wrong somewhere. BTW, the cross hairs in the Win95 calibration window are offset to the top left hand corner - which probably explains the left trun bias, but how do I get rid of this?

Hey, Alan! I'm having the exact same problem you are only I'm using a T2 wh/ped. Same pull to the left, calibrating, everything you mentioned. I've tried every calibrating option, Win95 adapter on and off. Tried support from EA but they only suggested things I've already tried. If I find anything, other than a refund, I'll let you know.

Look through the readme file that came with the game. It describes an alternative way to calibrate joystick or wheel. There is a special program that is installed with the game that you use. See the readme file. I had the same problem for way too long. PS. I would like to find out what the cheat codes are. Is it posted on the web somewhere? -Dave Opinions expressed herein are my own and may not represent those of my employer.
