I have a Nascar Pro wheel and found that the joystick is still better. The buttons on my wheel won't work with assignments ( chutes). Here is a copy of the text file that came with the patch. NHRA Drag Racing (Version 1.03) Feature List - Tantrum Entertainment, Inc. * The "Q" key will allow you to quit the game from interface screens. This does not include an actual race or replays. * The Replay time has been extended. * NHRA driver videos play more frequently after wins. * The keyboard will not lose calibration for steering. * Ladder (Standings) should clear between events. * Engine "Run" sound stops after a centerline DQ. * Pedals are now supported for steering units. While all PC units should work, find below the list that has been tested. Refer to your manuel or the website for set-up tips. TM NASCAR PRO TM NASCAR Sprint ECCI CDS2R ECCI CDS4000 ECCI CDS 5000 MS Sidewinder FF Wheel Act Labs RS Wheel Act Labs RS Force TSW Formula 99 TSW II Logitech Wingman Wheel Logitec Wingman Formula Force * The "Championship Points" math error has been corrected. * Dragsters are now more difficult to tune. The wing does not produce downforce until reaching a higher MPH. You should have to soften your clutches to keep from smoking the tires using your old aggressive tunes. * The Funny Car is more forgiving when tuning. The traction for "fair" track conditions has been increased slightly. You should be able to get into the low 5.20s under these conditions in a FC. * Opponents are slightly stronger in version 1.03. The rail opponents will break 4.50 occasionally as is predicted for this year's season. The F/Cs will break 4.80 as well. * The ".RACE" file format for saved races has changed to ".GAME" You will not be able to load old saved games. We are doing this to prevent old runs from being submitted to the "off-line" league that will fire up once this version is released. * Saving a game without using a filename will create a "NO_NAME" file versus a blank ".GAME" file. A special thanks goes out to the beta team for all the hard work! -- Barry Clay - BHMS >> The Patch has been released on the Tantrum Web site >> Go to http://www.nhradragracingsim.com >Does it help? >-- > Harri > "If I were any lazier, > Surfers Paradise I'd slip into a coma." > http://www.netsonic.fi/~harrijv/ - Garfield -

My system locked up as soon as I touched my brake pedal. And still no network support. Back in the jewel case for this one. > I have a Nascar Pro wheel and found that the joystick is still better.

Barry: Are you saying that you have loaded the patch and you still cant get your wheels and pedals to work. I assume you have setup your game controller as well. This is Windows now not that DOS/4GW stuff. hehe. The patch worked fine for me so lets deal with it and take care of you.. Don W The wheel will work with both buttons and pedals and if they dont you need to contact tantrum tech support.
Don, I've downloaded the patch also, and the game is not clearing the race ladder after a race is completed??? This is ridiculous? Six months, and they can't fix something as simple as that. I'm a programmer, and a fix like that probably would take them no more than an hour to analyze and code and test and they have had six months. I was hyped when the game came out, sort of hyped that a patch was coming out, but I'm not so sure when that CD is going back in the PC.

I have a TM GP1 and I "thought" the patch would allow me to use the paddles and guess what......I still have to use the wheel buttons for gas & brake. I can't tell much difference except I can get out of the game (Sim) without locking up. Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***" >Don, >I've downloaded the patch also, and the game is not clearing the race ladder after a race is completed??? that. I'm a programmer, and a fix like that probably would take them no more than an hour to analyze and code and test and they have had six months. out, but I'm not so sure when that CD is going back in the PC.
So with this new patch, would it be safe to say that it muight be better now to get the game, or is there still more bugs to be fixed in it? Dwayne W.

Save your money! Unless you don't care about racing others online. If you want to play by yourself it's a great game for, let's say, a couple hours at the most. This is just my opinion. TSR_JD > So with this new patch, would it be safe to say that it muight be better now to
