I called tech & they told me they are already working on a patch for this problem. Pedals will not work with the game, only buttons.

Exactly! This one is definately a no buy for me at this point. First they pork the 3D with 3dfx cards then the gas/brak doesn't freaking work. Oh I see lets push this piece of ***out the door and patch it later. I think even if it gets fixed, I don't like the way they do bussiness. Probably a no buy, ever.

>>>>I called tech & they told me they are already working on a patch for this >>>>problem. Pedals will not work with the game, only buttons. I don't get down on the designers too often, but this is total crap. How could something as obvious as this is be overlooked in the finished product? You buy a sim and pay full price for it, and end up waiting for the first patch before you can use it. Someone needs to inform Tantrum that TMaster, while not being the highest quality units out there, is the industry leader in wheel sales. Major screwup folks. Hello......Hello.....is anybody home?

This *WAS* true until he turned and became a burnout beta tester too I believe. Must be nice to have you cake and eat it too :-) Yep. I don't expect to see much of him in this NG for quite a while. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

<Oh, T-R-E-V-O-R, B-E-T-A testers, T-A-N-T-R-U-M, where are you?? Shhh... Notice the silence. Funny, they seem more quiet, now, than they have for the *months* leading up to the release of this bargain.bin.destined piece of shit> Iam here??? Can i help you ? Mike

How do you get your T2 pedals working. And how do you get a 3dfx card working properly. That other fella was no help. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

Greg, I have a NASCAR pro. While testing the game, i couldnot get the brake pedal to reconized. Is that still a problem?( I donot have GOLD copy nor a final release yet). What i did was use the gear shift as my hand brake and gas. The bottons I used were for the shoots. What problems are happening with 3DFX ( as i said before the game wasnt designed for that chip..bummer, I know) I was having problems with the hole screen loading white textures, are you seeing this. Let me know as good as you can and I will forward your problems to the people at Tantrum. I dont work for them but Iam willing to help as much as I can. Mike Dunn

I don't think I need to own the game to know that those 2 points are porked. And thanks for minumizing the issue. Do you have an answer for those 2 questions? Which work? Your input with regards to NHRA is apparently very important Mr. Simproject whatever the phuck. What the hell is simproject anyway? It sounds all very important. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

I have it! I am supposed to buy the game an get ***ed like everyone else, before I can ask if it is possible to fix the 3dfx and gas/brake pedals. Do you realize how stupid you are sounding? DUH again. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.

>> [snip] >I get the impression that your palms need shaving...Try not to >cut yourself, eh? Whatever. Your reply does not seem to fix the pedal or 3dfx support in NHRA does it? I guess I'm not sure what you are trying to prove at this point. -- Header intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes.
