Using an old gameport Thrustmaster wheel in NR2003

A user asked whether a gameport Thrustmaster NASCAR Pro wheel would work in NR2003, and several confirmed it did. Goy Larsen could not get split-axis mode working until Tony Rickard pointed him to Thrustmaster drivers, after which it worked through the generic controller option. The thread ended in Monty Python banter.

I don't see why not. Although I'm using a USB-based Logi MOMO Wheel, I'm still using my gameport-based TSW pedals along with it in NR2003 (and in other sims). COWBOYSFN9 wrote: > will an old thrustmaster nascar pro racing wheel work in n2003 even though it > doesnt work off a usb port????? thanks

My wheel runs off a game port just fine. It's a TSW, but the method is the same. I could probably dust off my old T2 and get it to work.<g> Eldred -- http://www.umich.edu/~epickett Screamers League IICC League GPLRank -6.0 MoGPL rank +267.80 Ch.Rank +52.58 MoC +741.71 Hist. +82.34 MoH:na N2k3 rank:in progress Slayer Spektera lvl 72 assassin Slayer Spectral_K lvl 38 Necro US East

You don't run N2003 :-D Have you gotten it to work in split axis mode and if so...how ? Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

I never really thought about it, it just worked first time, similar calibration routine as for previous Papy sims. I'll have to check...

I can't get mine to work in split axis at all, I seem to get it working in Windows itself, but not in N2003, in either generic or directx (or whatever) and there are no drivers for it from TM either, not that I can find anyway There's really no way of using my RedLine pedals with my current desk/chair/PC setup and I'd like to get split axis working if possible as it might be a while until I get everything properly sorted here again Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

LOL....my racing rig is actually set up down at my shop and they are indeed connected, don't worry, but if I feel like testing something it's not like I'm gonna drive down to the shop just for a quick spin, so until I can get it set up properly here at home....my old TM Nascar PRO was brought out of retirement Can't wait to get it all sorted though Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

Anyhew, after about 10 laps at WG I'm now a full second faster than I've gone around there with these pedals before and the car "feels" different than with combined, as long as it works :D Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "goyl at nettx dot no" http://www.theuspits.com "A man is only as old as the woman he feels........" --Groucho Marx--

I've had some funnies which were resolved as I recall by loading the Thrustmaster Control Panel and calibrating there. It certainly works for me in Windows (98 & XP) such that I can use the Directx option in NR2003. > Anyhew, after about 10 laps at WG I'm now a full second faster than I've > gone around there with these pedals before and the car "feels" different > than with combined, as long as it works :D Thank God for me... <G>
