Nascar2... When running at Talledaga I cannot get speeds over 170mph on the back stretch. I've used several different set-up's off the internet and still nothing. I qualify dead last and run dead last being lapped once or twice by the leader. PLEASE help. My car file settings are the same and in-line with the rest of the field. I've checked to see if a file is missing and have replaced suspect files.

Keep re-calibrating till you get it right. Good Luck , Gary
Had the same problem with mine a while back. I deleted the "calib.val" file out of the Nascar2 directory, and re-calibrated the wheel and it worked fine. I guess sometimes that file gets corrupted and it just needs to be purged. (back up the file, dont go deleting things 'cause I said so) >Nascar2... >When running at Talledaga I cannot get speeds over 170mph on the back >stretch.

Check to make sure breaking asist. isn't on either. Whats your 4th gear set at? And, as the other post said, check your calibration. One thing I do during calibration, I do NOT put the peddle all the way down when calibrating. That way, when I do put it all the way down while racing, I know I am getting the full throw of the peddle, for max RPM's.

Make sure you have the "help" setting OFF. You really shouldn't need any braking or steering help at Dega. If you would like, I can e-mail you my "set-up" which I can usually run 203-207 down the straightway. Regards Dave
