Are you using a separate game card, or the joystick port off a sound card ? You might want to try a separate card if you haven't.
% Hello all % Since 6 month me and my friend cristophe meet every weekend % for an indy race of 200 turn using ICR2. % We had great fun so far :) % Now the problems...... % I have come to serious trouble when i have upgrade from my % p90 to p200 MMX.

One is the frame rate. You are more than likely used to the way the car handled and with a slower frame rate. With the 200 you are greatly increasing your frame rate and things react differently. The other is probably tied to your gameport. If you don't have a speed adjustable game port the timing involved in polling your joystick has been increased. Now a minor twitch of the the wheel/joystick is now a major twitch of the wheel/joystick. I think you will find you can control ICR2 (which needs a delicate touch to begin with) better with a dedeciated speed adjustable game card. -- **************************** Michael E.
