Hello All R.A.S. Readers; I need help!! on Gpl & my Thrustmaster Nascar Sprint. Below when you read you will see my problem.. Any & all help, ideas suggestions are welcome. the help in my "inbox"... TIA Thom j. aka ^Fretts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [** I want to preface that I must use paddles on the race wheel itself for gas/brake because I can't use my feet-legs with floor pedals**] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ______________________________________________________ When I go into GPL with my TM Nascar Sprint wheel to calibrate the rightside will not hold .1000. It will flicker from .1000 to the low .900s. Now I bought a new CompUSA "Formula" Race Wheel {It is almost exactly like the Sprint}but on this wheel all the flicker is on the leftside! This is great {for me}for one reason; It is my brake side.. CompUSA wheel is one fantastic wheel but 'Thrusmaster's Sprint' is easier on my wrists, hands, fingers & tumbs! Final Notes: Would a "acm" or another game card work better? I use the SB PCI64 sound's joyport for my games/sims. I also found in my control panel {under Game Controllers in the advanced tab} the box for "Poll with interrupts enabled". It is unchecked & doesn't help if it is checked or unchecked! I have the same In F1RS I basically have the same problem and cant get full throttle with my "TM Nascar Sprint" wheel. F1RS uses the same drivers in Game Controllers in Control Panel.. I am lost & confused why this is happening? Helpful Sim Friends: Is there any suggestions besides rippin' the $70 Sprint apart to switch wires? Remember I must use paddles for my gas/brake on the wheel because I can't use my feet & legs! Please help!! ____________________________________________________ P.S. The 'CompUSA Formula Race Wheel' is still one great wheel & I would recommend it to anyone. Especially folks who are in a similar situation as myself. I would have never learned about this wheel if not for John Bodin's post-review. Thanx again John ;0) no_spam.n2rif1.vcf < 1K Download
I had a similar problem with a T2. Sometimes unchecking poll with interrups enabled doesn't 'stick' so try it again. I only found this out after rebuilding the whole PC. Worked for me, hope it does for you. Mark Reading, UK
