Thrustmaster Grand Prix Wheel

3 posts by 2 people · 17 Feb 1999 - 18 Feb 1999

Is anyone using this wheel on a PII 450? It worked fine (for an analog) on my Gateway P5 100 but Win98 will not recognize it on my new Gateway PII 450. Any Ideas. I will be looking to replace this with a FFB wheel soon but wanted to test the gameplay of some of my new programs on this p.c. with this wheel before I went out and dropped $180.00 on a Microsoft FFB wheel. Thanks Mike Opinions expressed herein are my own and may not represent those of my employer.

Will the computer recognize it in a DOS box (try using TMScope)? If so then it is more than likely a problem with the setup of the soundcard's gameport in Windows. -- **************************** Michael E.

I havent tried it in dos. I am now using a Microsoft Sidewinder FFB joystick which Win98 recongnixes no problem. I will try the dos route, but any other ideas based on the fact the the sidewinder works fine? Thanks Mike
