My Nephew got a Thrustmaster FF wheel for Christmas, and has had reasonable success with it, with various sim's/games, but when running N2 the darn game does not detect the wheel at all!!! They have it set up using the USB port, but the wheel also has a 9 pin serial port available too (I don't think they tested it with the serial port) Has anyone else had problems getting N2 to detect and use the Thrustmater Force Feedback steering wheel??? I'm stumped, because windows detects it just fine, and the thrustmaster software that came with it works fine too, as does other games.... Help, anyone! Thanks in advance!

N2 is an old program that is really a dos program hiding in a windows shell. To use the USB you must have a windows program running it...I don't think any dos program will operate a usb wheel correctly. In N99 you have a choice between dos or windows programs, I can't remember is N2 has this as well but if it does, choose the .exe file that has a fancy looking icon rather than the plain box icon. That "might" get ya going. Also make sure your usb wheel is listed as the first device in the controllers section of win9x. dave henrie
