Thrustmaster T2 with Nascar2

3 posts by 2 people · 26 Dec 1997 - 27 Dec 1997

I have a new T2 and Nascar2. I can't get the steering wheel or pedals to calibrate under options. I can get the game to play with keyboard command. I'm connected thru the SB16 joystick connection. I obtained the Thrustmaster Pro Panel and everything works fine there. What's wrong. I have a P-5 200mmx with Cirrus 4mg video. I've tried to do this in both dos modes and I get an error that: "Unable to get VxD address RN1 Error: Could not initialize board Rendition error description: Failed to load SPD3D.UC Unable to initialize video (maybe no VESA driver?)" The video looks good and the game sounds good in Win95 with keyboard commands. I just can't get the wheel and footpedals to work. Do I need a special gamecard for this? Is SB16 the problem? Is video really a problem?

That is the meaning of the following error messages. You need a Verite chip based video card to run N2 in Rendition mode. Now for the harder problem. First make sure you calibrate both joysticks in N2 controller options screen before you attempt to select your contoller options. If this doesn't work delete the following files from your NASCAR2 directory: calib.val controls.cfg Start up N2 again and then calibrate both joysticks and then select your controlling devices. This should get you working in DOS. If you still have trouble in Win95, make sure that your gameport is assigned the I/O address of 201-201 (via the control panel -> system -> device manager). % "Unable to get VxD address % RN1 Error: Could not initialize board % Rendition error description: Failed to load SPD3D.UC % Unable to initialize video (maybe no VESA driver?)" % The video looks good and the game sounds good in Win95 with keyboard % commands. % I just can't get the wheel and footpedals to work. % Do I need a special gamecard for this? % Is SB16 the problem? % Is video really a problem? -- **************************** Michael E.

I feel stupid but I've got it now. I applied the patch from Sierra for OSR2(WIN95 version 2). Then I went to Thrustmaster and reread the T2 setup. I hadn't done the (3) thing under joystick (1) first. After turning the wheel, pumping the accelerator and brake three times under joystick-all the wheel and pedal setups rolled as I expected them to. Pretty poor software and instruction encloseres for Thrustmaster and Sierra. (Are you guys monitoring-most people would have returned both!!!!) Why don't you collaberate intead of having a site(Thrustmaster) who's shtml was out of whack Christmas morning???? I still love it tho!!!!!
