Help Me with My Stick and My Wheel!!!!!

1 post by 1 person · 19 Dec 1998 - 19 Dec 1998

Hey Guys, With Falcon 4.0 under my tree I figured I had better get this figured out real quick like or someone in my house is going to be a bit PO'ed come XMas Morning and I can't play it. Up until recently I had a Saitek X36F HOTAS and a Thrustmaster T2 wheel for controls. The shifter on my T2 no longer downshifted, but it didn't matter as all I played was NASCAR. (Don't do much downshifting there!) When Grand Prix Legends came out, I finally broke down and bought a decent steering wheel, a NASCAR Pro by TM. I got home, opened the box, read the instructions, (no, I really did) and installed the wheel. Works perfectly. As expected. After about an hour of getting blown off the track, I decided it was time to fly around a bit and blow the ***out of something from my F-15. So, I hit the switch on my Joyswitch, open the control panel and now my Saitek doesn't work. Then I tried everything I could think of. Finally, I got to the point where I disconnected the throttle from the stick and lo and behold the stick calibrated!!! In the control panel, it shows the stick as OK until the throttle is connected, then it shows as not connected. I went to the Saitek site and there was something there about Pro Panel and the Saitek stick not getting along. I uninstalled Pro Panel and still have the same problem. If someone out there can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. My System: ABIT LX6 Mobo PII 266 Mhz 64 Megs RAM Western Digital 5.1 Gig HDD Diamond Stealth II G460 8 Meg Diamond Monster II 3D 12 Meg Diamond Sonic Impact Sound Card Diamond Supra Express Modem Thrustmaster ACM Gamecard Enlight 7238 Case w/ 300 Power Supply Teac Floppy and CD-ROM Drives. All latest drivers and DX6 installed. I appreciate any help anyone can give me. Thanks, Russ
