Anyone have any idea why I have to recalibrate the Wheel (NASCAR Pro Racing Wheel) everytime I load up Nascar 3? Does everyone have to recalibrate the wheel evertime you restart the game? I Have NO controls when I load the game. Thanks Don Thanks
No I don't need to calibrate each time. In fact sometimes I don't have the wheel plug in and can go in and out of N3 without problems. Next time in with the wheel plugged in and the calibration is as it was. I don't know way N3 is forgetting your calibration. -- Redline Race Controls http://www.wave.co.nz/pages/lakewood/Redline2.htm Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Hamilton New Zealand

Try plugging your wheel before switching your rig on it might help but if it doesn't I have no clue! -- Oliver Nikolic DP-MAX Computers http://www.dp-max.co.yu/ BeoRocket Racing Team (retired) http://www.beorocket.co.yu/ > Anyone have any idea why I have to recalibrate the Wheel (NASCAR Pro > Racing Wheel) everytime I load up Nascar 3? > Does everyone have to recalibrate the wheel evertime you restart the > game?

Sorry Don I have no clue then... I have solved the problem calibrating the wheel... What might help though is to after you got in the game and everything is ok, multitask back to Win. and go to the game directory copy the .cfg (wcntrs.cfg) files to another location (then when the problem occurs again copy them back) or make them read only? Anyway this is just a theory similar thing helped me solve the GPL calibrating problem... -- Oliver Nikolic DP-MAX Computers http://www.dp-max.co.yu/ BeoRocket Racing Team (retired) http://www.beorocket.co.yu/
How did you solve the problem in GPL? I have the same problem as Don, recalibrating every time I want to play. Thanks

I just said it ... In GPL I had a different wheel calibration depending on each track (ok not every track), but any time you start GPL without the wheel plugged in you mess up the calibration so just unzip the config file overwriting the existing one... -- Oliver Nikolic DP-MAX Computers http://www.dp-max.co.yu/ BeoRocket Racing Team (retired) http://www.beorocket.co.yu/ > How did you solve the problem in GPL? > I have the same problem as Don, recalibrating every time I want to play. > Thanks > > Sorry Don I have no clue then... > > I have solved the problem calibrating the wheel... > > What might help though is to after you got in the game and everything is ok, > > multitask back to Win. and go to the game directory copy the .cfg > > (wcntrs.cfg) files to > > another location (then when the problem occurs again copy them back) or make > > them read only?

I never unhoock my wheel, so that may not be the problem, I guess.
