F1RS steering problem?

I have been using F1RS for some time now with no problems, with single race mode. Today I have not been able to run in a grand prix mode. When I enter the race (practice, qualifying or the race) my steering wheel works backwards with reverse polarity. When I steer left the car goes right. when I accelerate the car brakes and so on. At first, I thought that somehow my configuration must have changed, so I went back to the main menu and configure the steering wheel. Everything is set correctly....I go back to the game and everything is still in reverse. I decide to configure the wheel in reverse fashion, but this still does not work. When I restart the game, the wheel works well in single race mode. When I configure the wheel in windows95, everything seems to work well. I have a Thrustmaster Grandprix I wheel. I do not understand what is happening? Has anyone else had this problem before, any solution? Thanks, Gostal

About the only thing I can think of is to completely configure your driving controls with keyboard commands. Then go back and re-do your wheel and gas/brake/shifting controls with your GP1. There really is no reason why it shouldn't work. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

>I had that problem with a warez version. >i fixed the problem by buying the game... >If this is your case, go buy the game its well worth it!!! This game is really worth to buy it and so I did!!! I get the NoCD-Patch from www.f1racingsim.com, it is a small prog made by someone called "SplAj", which alters the *.EXE to ignore the CD-Check. (not longer available since UBI mailed them) At last, warez are not well known in Germany! go fast Andre Waldmann
