N2 and Steering Wheel

5 posts by 5 people · 21 Mar 1998 - 23 Mar 1998

I am using WIN95 OSR2 and the Thrustmaster Nascar Pro wheel but I cannot get N2 to calibrate (the arrows do not move at all). I have reinstalled N2, ran the 1.03 patch and the 3dfx patch and no wheel. It calibrates perfectly in W95. I have tried calibrating as the Nascar Pro wheel and as Custom (2 axis-2 button race car wheel). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks dkmedic PS Just picked up Burnout and I guess I will load it while I wait for a N2 solution.

You might want to try getting Thrustmaster's Propanel applet and try using it to setup your controller device in Win95 (must be device ID #1). ftp://208.129.210.78/pub/library/calibration/propanelv11.exe Also make sure that your gameport is set to I/O 201-201 (via control panel -> System -> Device Manager). Thrustmaster has a good setup instruction for N2 and the Pro Wheel on their web site: http://www.thrustmaster.com/support/wheel_docs/Cal-Setups/NascarIIsetup Try following the steps there (especially the one where you set the Steering to Wheel before you attempt to calibrate. You might need to delete the following files from your NASCAR2 directory: controls.cfg calib.val If the above still fails to fix the problem, try setting up your controls as keyboard (select all options). Then go back and try to calibrate your wheel & pedals following the FAQ at Thrustmater's web site. Also if you haven't done so, check out Sierra's FAQ for N2: http://www.sierra.com/support/technical/faqs/Nas2ts.html -- **************************** Michael E.

You can first try running the windows drivers that come with the nascar pro wheel. It helped me out at first. P.S. Just woundering where I can get windows 95 osr2? >I am using WIN95 OSR2 and the Thrustmaster Nascar Pro wheel but I cannot >get N2 to calibrate (the arrows do not move at all).

Run your Nascar2 from DOS.

I use a Thrustmaster GP1. After installing the patch I can calibrate the wheel when running the 3dfx version but not when running the original version. I must admit I don't remember if it worked in the old version before as it is ages since I ran it. Run the joystick icon from the W95 controll panel, make sure your wheel is there and shows OK. Then make sure you ar running the 3dfx version. good luck Graham
