CART Racing - Thrustmaster T1 Wheel Settings

I just bought CART Racing and while my version of NASCAR 1 recognizes the braking and accelleration both being on the Y Axis of my Thrustmaster GP1 Wheel, CART does not permit the two to be on the one setting. The Wheel is properly calibrated and tested under the Windows 95 START, SETTINGS, GAME CONTROLLERS window. The "cartts" file on the disk instructions for setting the wheel under a "JOYSTICK" icon of the SETTINGS Window doesn't match my Windows 95 options. For instance, there is no "Custom" setting. I have tried the Sierra Website for FAQs etc but was unable to find the answer. Help, please! (Will I have the same problems when I upgrade to NASCAR 2?) Many thanks, Guy R. Phillips

I scrapped the windows version and run only the DOS version. You shouldn't have any trouble running it in DOS. But you may want to get Thrustmaster's ProPanel applet and try using it to setup your GP1 instead of the Control Panel's Game Controllers.

There shouldn't be a problem at all for NASCAR2 as it is a DOS only game and the controller works just like it does in NASCAR1. -- **************************** Michael E.

Also, if using the T1, you will need the axis adapter to run in win95. If you don't have one, email me your address and I'll send one out. Thanks, Alan
