You need to get a wheel or at least a decent joystick <ggg.> In all seriousness, if you can get the pad to calibrate in the Win95 Controller program in the Control Panel then you should be able to use it in the sim. You may have to try and tell the sim you are using a joystick and go from there. Good luck, all the best, Mike -- Michael S.

I started out using a game pad befor I got a wheel. Two big differences; with a game pad you can't run as fast and you wear out your tires twice as fast. It's ok for starting out but you'll want a wheel befor long. As far as your problem, I don't remember having a problem like that when I used a game pad. Maybe you have to check out the calibration in the control panel/joystick in windows95 like you do for a wheel. Good luck...
