I bought the Mad Catz Andretti wheel/pedals for N3 when I saw the great write up PC Gamer gave it. I love the feel a lot better than the T-2. However, I started having a problem. It started first occasionally when I'd pause the game when I would go back the wheel wouldn't work properly or at all. I'd have to re-boot. Then it would work fine. Now it won't work at all except for reverse and the gear shifter. It won't let me calibrate wheel or pedals or recognize the brake at all. What the heck is going on? It works fine in my Windows setup. I'm going to try it with another game and see it it works for it. Thanks, Gary

I seem to be having the same problem. It works in everything but N3 -- Mike Johansson NeOhio SCCA > I bought the Mad Catz Andretti wheel/pedals for N3 when I saw the great > write up PC Gamer gave it.

Have you got anything to work? I was thinking of deleting N3 and reinstalling. It will probably happen again. You using same wheel? I have a Dell P3 500 with 256 ram for what it's worth. Anyone else having problems with other USB wheels? Thanks, Gary
