F1RS: Thrustmaster Nascar Pro troubles

4 posts by 3 people · 28 Feb 1998 - 03 Mar 1998

Does F1RS recognise the Trustmaster Nascar Pro wheel with the switch set to "seperate" mode? My switch on the foot pedal unit is apparently broken as the Thrustmaster Pro-Panel in Win95 will only show the wheel as disconnected when I have the switch set to combined. I have tried and tried to get the wheel to work with F1RS but to no avail. As it is I cannot set the controls in the game even if I first set the various commands to unused keyboard keys first as suggested in many other posts on this subject. Patrick Gilmore

I get awful spiking when I set the Nascar Pro to separate mode. If you set it to combined mode, you have to uncheck the "rudder" box in the Pro-panel setup. It will then recognize the controller. For some strange reason, this box defaults to checked for the combined setup. -- Kevin (Remove the "x-" prefix from my address in order to reply via email)
Thanks! Unchecking the rudder box solved all of my problems. I was ready to send the dang wheel back to Thrustmaster (or out the window) as I thought it had a broken selector switch. F1RS is one hell of a lot better with a wheel as opposed to a joystick. Patrick Gilmore

BTW, the latest version of ProPanel on our web page has this little rudder "feature" corrected. You may want to download that one to save a little grief. www.thrustmaster.com Thanks, Alan
