SPYBOY2/GPL 1.1 help needed

greetings race fans...well I am all patched up....everything was fine.....until I patched the new Spyboy2 and now everytime I run the sim I am forced to recalibrate my wheel every single time I either host or run the game off line.I'm using a NAscar Sprint wheel..and all thier latest drivers...this problem occurs no matter what input drivers I use in GPL...generic or direct and quite frankly I am puzzled as to why this may be happening. So I need some input from others as to how this can be solved if in fact it already has. My install of the new GPL and spyboy2(with the patch as well) were made by the way on a complete clean install of everything including a defrag of my hard drive(in case you were wondering). Kudos out to the team of developers that bring us these new toys but it sure can be a pain in the steering wheel when it brings up these unexpected workabouts. thanks for your time and hope to see a fix for this soon..... enjoy!!

With all the other releases of GSB, if you clicked on "host" or "join" and then minimized GSB, you would have to re-calibrate the controller. Just make sure you *do not* minimize GSB.

it will do that by it self. But, if just before the "loading GPL" window pops up, (only 3 seconds between pressing the button and the window), If you manually minimize GSB this problem will occur. Obviously, you are not as dumb as I am because I still manually do this from time to time with out thinking ;-) Mike Barlow
