Nascar 99 and Interact V3

Subject: Nascar 99 and Interact V3 wheel Date: August 29, 1999 8:48 PM First, I must explain something. I am trying to provide remote support to my father who lives in Nunavut, and I in Ontario. I was on the phone with him trying to help him set up his V3 wheel in N99. It appeared to calibrate fine (or so I am told) but when he tries to assign commands to the wheel, such as shifting, it is reading the buttons on the wheel as axis on the joystick. So, since he has steering and pedals set up on the axis, it is conflicting because it is reading a press of one of the buttons as a joystick axis(confused yet?> :) Is there something that you have to do to the wheel to get it to recognize a buttion press as such? My T2 reads my buttons as JOY1 Button 3 for example.......

It's doing that because the game (and Windows is getting input from the wheel. Some of the V3s are really bad that way. Have him look at the test area in the Game Controllers applet and I will be willing to wager that the crosshair will be moving on it's own. There are some patches on Interact's website, http://www.interact-acc.com that might help. Chris
