Problem with SuperSport Wheel and GPL

The wheel's software is configured right. It works fine in Nascar99. I can choose the generic driver and configure it in the options screen in GPL without problem, but when I actually go to the race itself, I find that the wheel is backwards (turn left, wheels turn right etc...). Has anyone else encountered a similar problem? If so, how did you solve it? Are there any tweaking utilities out there? When I tried a generic joystick I found that it would configure properly and run perfectly, so it must be a Thrustmaster problem, right? Many thanks

Calibrate your wheel within GPL again. Make sure you turn the wheel left first, then right. That should do it. <Dan>

I'm gonna add to my last post....when assigning the steering control turn the wheel left, not right. The steering indicator should say <> not ><. Now THAT should do it. <Dan>

Yasunari, I have been using my SuperSport for GPL for 4-5 months now, and I use Direct Input, not Generic, with very good results. The only drawback is that gpl was not included in the list of supported games on the Thrustmaster cd, so I have to recalibrate for every GPL session.....Once a night I don't mind, it's good to be sure that the calibration is fresh, but sometimes I have to do it for every race online, which is a real time sucker.....I need to contact Thrustmaster to see if they have a solution. If I find one, I'll post it...See Ya, Ed --

You can find them at Thrustmaster's Support pages at http://www.thrustmaster.com Then you shouldn't have to re-calibrate each time you run a program. -- **************************** Michael E.
