Will Nascar Work With the Logitech Formula Force Wheel?

Hi, I'm thinking of buying this wheel, but would really like to know if Nascar 1 or 2 will work in a DOS window in Win95. Has anyone tried this? Many Thanks, Erik

In a DOS window IN WIN95? No Papy sims support FF of course, but I believe the wheel should still have a centering force. My non-FF Wingman Formula, whose drivers won't work in DOS, works fine with N2, ICR2, and GP2 when running under Windows. I believe the comparison of FF wheels at Gamecenter.com mentioned the WFF's centering effect in non-FF games. Anyone seen otherwise? Steve B. remove "edy" from address for email

The centering effect is fine in non-FF games, but I still cannot get the control config screen in N2 to accept any imputs from the Logitech WFF wheel. At one point I had steering (but it pulled to the right a LOT) along with throttle and brake, but no shifters. I gave up on it and will wait for N2000. The wheel works great in GPL, with much more precision than I ever had with my Thrustmaster GP1 wheel (not to diss TM, it's a great product for the money). I have not tried GP2 or ICR2 with it, GPL seems to take up most of my sim-racing time these days<g>. -don

Formula Force (as all other Logitech WingMan controllers) come with a gameport virtualization mechanism for DOS games. However, Nascar 2 uses a very tricky scheme which is virtually impossible to trick. It will not work well with any digital controller. The WingMan Formula (non-force) has an analog mode built into it, it will work flawlessly with Nascar 2. It's about time Papy releases a DirectInput based game. They can keep the (admittedly great) Nascar 2 engine inside, they just need to refresh the interface to the system. On my machine, the sound doesn't work, and I had hella time getting the graphics to work at all. Hope this cleared things a little - koma71
