I had a T1 and saw this wheel on sale for $109.00 at BestBuy so I bought it.
I'm very PC illiterate and the T-1 was very easy to setup and install. I
had a lot of trouble with the software/setup of the new wheel. I still dont
think it works exactly right. It doesnt do anything weird but I'm not
nearly as fast as I used to be. I used to always run in the top 3 at Dega
on TEN after the new wheel I was lucky to get in the top TEN. And its worse
on small tracks...am I crazy? It made me so mad that I havent started
Nascar2 or played on TEN in a few months...burned me out! I know what your
thinking just get out your old wheel but it just makes me sick I paid for
this and its not working for me. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
garyf on TEN
User,
A steering wheel really doesn't need any software to run.
My only suggestion is too recalibrate in Windows (select
the proper controller type) and in every game you play
(you only need to calibrate once).
Jason.

You really shouldn't have to worry about any software (especially since
you are talking N2 -- which polls the gamecard directly). Make sure you
have calibrated it properly in N2. You may want to delete the calib.val
file in your NASCAR2 directory and let the program force a
recalibration.
The wheel takes some getting used to over the T1 (especially since your
T1 may have been getting a little sloppy from use). The pedals
certainly take some time getting used to after the T1 pedals.
Your problem in Dega sounds as if your calibration is off. I would try
try short calibrating the gas pedal (when calibrating only push it down
80-90%).
This may sound like extra work, but I found that I had to modify my
setups after moving up to the NASCAR Pro (especially for the short
tracks). The wheel is so much harder to turn the further you crank it
vs. the T1's. Try adjusting your wheel lock.
