I remember someone mentioning here that he/she got the MS FF Wheel to work with Nascar2. If anyone has succeeded on doing this could you please mail me or post a reply here how you did it? I like the wheel but can't get it to work in N2. Greetings, Pekka Heino

I was contacted by someone in the know, but didn't hear anything since.

I bought the wheel, it works fine in N2. Oh please, would you quit repeating that it works for you? It doesn't work for me and some other guys. There's already "something" in the works, but I can't say more... l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Please explain "doesn't work"? In a manner of speaking I can claim it doesn't work either because the joystick numbers in the N2 calibration routine are all over the place. But the car is very drivable. After reading the soundcard compatibility readme in the library, I can now understand how so many people cannot get it to work. In fact I think the list of cards which do work may be smaller :-) Is you soundcard one of the ones listed which don't work? -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >> Ronald Stoehr wrote >> >I was contacted by someone in the know, but didn't hear anything since. >> >We just have to wait and see, if "something" happens...!? >> What do you expect to happen?

But the > car is very drivable. After reading the soundcard compatibility The calibration was screwed, the gauges jumped all over the place and were never centered. The driving was screwed as well on my system, e.g. car turning to the right, but almost no turning to the left, lots of gas possible, but almost no brakes. I have the SB Live! Value, and ALL other racing sims work great with its game port. l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

I swear when I first tried it was very drivable. But everytime I run NR1999 I have to recalibrate and as you say the numbers are all over the place. How about the suggestion from that other guy, where you get a cable that gets the MIDI signal from the com port? Then you could use your dedicated game card and a Joyswitch box. It also may work :-) I may call MS and see if they can send me one before my 10 day return time is up. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com
