Does N3 require/install DX 7?

I'm about to purchase N3, but I wonder whether it installs/requires DirectX 7? I've seen some negative comments about DirectX 7, in particular, on the the Thrustmaster site. I'm interested in the game, but I don't want to trash my ability to run (steer?) GPL, F1RS and SCGT. What's the scoop?

N3 installs DX6.1. Eric

DX7 played hell with my joystick/T-master SuperSport detection--I'm staying away from it. DK

It also messes up the MS SideWinder USB Pro when connected via USB. DX 7 is *** stuff... -Larry > DX7 played hell with my joystick/T-master SuperSport detection--I'm staying

No. -Larry

I've got DX7, and I have absolutely NO problems! For me, that's a wonder. Why? Umm...are you familiar with the Midas legend, that everything he touched turned to gold? Well, every computer that *I* touch turns to junk! I have a generic game pad, a T2 wheel, and a stock, custom-built PIII Gateway system, fully loaded.

Homebuilt PII/450~V3/3000AGP~SBLive!~MSFF Just one question....what does "stock, custom built" mean? ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Once I put DX7 on my system (K6/2-450, SBLive, V3-2000AGP), the only controller that would be recognized was the one that was connected at the time DX7 was loaded (be it my T2 wheel or Sidewinder gamepad). I tried the uninstallers that are out there, no luck. There was only one solution, format and reload. What's strange is a friend of mine has the exact same setup as I have, but no problem with DX7. I say stay away if you can.

Well, it appears my mind wasn't working very well at the time I wrote that. It was supposed to say just "custom built". Sorry for the confusion. >Just one question....what does "stock, custom built" mean? >~daxe
