"Driver" game for PC

Hi all. I know this game is not exactly a simulation (lol), but I dug it out again the other day and would love to get it working properly with my Logitech Momo Force (the red one). It seems to recognize the wheel itself, but not much else (not the paddles, not the pedals). Anyone here ever had this or a similar setup working for this game? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Scott.

I loved the physics in this game, but the lack of an in-car driving view put it on the shelf. -Larry "Scott Mellen" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:DCIMa.44761$[email hidden]... > Hi all.

No, it had a HOOD/roof view out the windshield. There is no true in-car view. -Larry "machf" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Fri, 04 Jul 2003 22:23:50 GMT, "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >I loved the physics in this game, but the lack of an in-car driving viewput > >it on the shelf. > > > "Lack of an in-car driving view"?

Its shortcomings aside, did either of you happen to play it long enough to have used it with a wheel? lol Scott.

It *does* recognize my pedals, it doesn't recognize the "hat", though.

That's amazing, since I completely blew the line I typed LOL! What I _meant_ to say was it has a Hood/Roof view, but no true through-the-windshield in-car view. -Larry "machf" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Make sure you got the V1.2 patch. It makes mixing keyboard/joystick/wheel much easier. For more info, see my faq on gamefaqs.com --KC

Yeah, and the body motion was well done too. It actually felt like an old Chevelle to me :) -Larry "Joe62" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Mon, 07 Jul 2003 22:40:22 GMT, "Scott Mellen" > <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >Its shortcomings aside, did either of you happen to play it long enoughto > >have used it with a wheel? lol > > It actually worked quite well.
