N3 Thrustmaster Nascar Pro Problem

I have set the wheel for separate, then calibrated, etc. Everything is fine except my steering - turn to the right I go to the left and visa versa. Any ideas what is wrong?

The wheel calibrated in both fine. I am using ID#1 - it is the only one shown. I am using the right device - Thrustmaster NASCAR Pro w/separate pedal. Strange!

You should try creating a new "custom" device and check the box for 'car controller'. That was the only way I could get my old TM-T2 to work. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >The wheel calibrated in both fine.

Also, you may want to try combining the pedal axis as a test to see if that fixed the steering problem. I know it sounds weird, but it could have an affect. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >The wheel calibrated in both fine.

This is a trick that "may" work. When you assign your wheel settings the old Papy programs always told you move left then right. I haven't purchased N3 yet but if it uses the old calibration routines from N2/99 then make sure you do move left then right. The trick is...(if you've done everything by the book til now) when it says move left first then right--reverse the order and go right first then left. [of course if N3 calibrates like GPL and some newer sims by having separate assigns for left and right that won't work.} But in any case try choosing opposite of what it "should" be. dave henrie > I have set the wheel for separate, then calibrated, etc. Everything is fine > except my steering - turn to the right I go to the left and visa versa.

Im not sure if it's because I use a dedicated game card or not, but I have NEVER needed to calibrate my Nascar Pro wheel (or T2, T1 etc) in the control panel of windows for it to work with Nascar Racing sims. I just calibrate in the game and it works fine. I have however had to calibrate it in control panel for other driving sims. If you can get away with just calibrating in the game itself it is MUCH easier. :) Skotty Flynn webmaster - http://www.nascar-racing-sims.com "skotty" on TEN and WON

I have tried your suggestions and no luck. I have calibrated in the game. No luck. Seems very strange. Everything is fine except left is right and visa versa. Who should I contact - Thrustmaster or Papyrus? If I were to buy a new steering wheel what would be the best? >Also, you may want to try combining the pedal axis as a test to see >if that fixed the steering problem.

I In general N2 and the DOS version of N1999 are DOS games so calibrating in the window scontrol panel is not needed. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >just calibrate in the game and it works fine. >I have however had to calibrate it in control panel for other driving >sims. >If you can get away with just calibrating in the game itself it is >MUCH easier. :) >Skotty Flynn >webmaster - http://www.nascar-racing-sims.com >"skotty" on TEN and WON

N3 is a DirectX windows game. Once you have calibrated your device in the control panel joystick applet, you should not need to do it again. In the case of N2 and NR1999(DOS) you do not even need your wheel configured in the control panel joystick applet. You do need your wheel configured in N3. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com
