NASCAR 2002: TIRED OF RECALIBRATING YOUR WHEEL WHEN YOU START PAPYRUS/SIERRA NASCAR: As you all know I am a slow learning.. lol Ever since I got NASCAR I have had to very very often recalibrate my wheel after I start up the game. I finally found the solution to my problem. As it turns out when you start the game done ever click on the PAPYRUS NASCAR 2002 LOGO, etc.. Screen.. Apparently when this screen is up the software is talking in some way with your steering controls,, If you click the screen you can bypass the screen.. But you will be required to RECALIBRATE the wheel very very often.. Just some help.... -- Donald Wilshe 888 588-9207 Martel Brothers Performance, Worlds Largest On-Line Auto Parts Mfg Catalog Library www.martelbros.com Other Interest: www.ivga.com www.games-advertising.com www.whra.com

If when the game starts up, the pedals, or wheel is out of the current calibration range the program could think the cause is a different controller and therefore require another round of calibration. Try putting the controlls well within the calibrated range and then start the game. I'd wager at least a couple of e-cents that the problem will go away.
Don's right, any click of the mouse after you launch N2002 and before it loads the game will result in you having to recalibrate. Try it for yourself. -- __________ Steve "Mike White" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:OINf9.122$[email hidden]... > > Don Wilshe <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:ghNf9.12180$[email hidden]... > > NASCAR 2002: TIRED OF RECALIBRATING YOUR WHEEL WHEN YOU START > PAPYRUS/SIERRA > > NASCAR: > > > > > > > > As you all know I am a slow learning.. lol Ever since I got NASCAR I > have > > had to very very often recalibrate my > > > > wheel after I start up the game.

If he replies, and you click on the message while N2002 is firing up, you'll have to recalibrate. This has happened so many times to me, and the message from the other guy is *always* just two little letters...'ok'. And yet, and yet...what if I hadn't clicked on that damn message? Frustratingly yours, Colin....ok?
Great Advice as usual Mike. My calibration is -512 to +512 on the wheel and 0 to 64 on gas and brake. When I dont click the PAPYRUS SCREEN it doesnt ask me to calibrate ever. Now when it does as me to calibrate it ask for calibrations from 0 to 65536 on the wheel... It alternates between the +_ 512 and +_ 65536 dW -- Donald Wilshe 888 588-9207 Martel Brothers Performance, Worlds Largest On-Line Auto Parts Mfg Catalog Library www.martelbros.com Other Interest: www.ivga.com www.games-advertising.com www.whra.com "Mike White" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:OINf9.122$[email hidden]... > > Don Wilshe <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:ghNf9.12180$[email hidden]... > > NASCAR 2002: TIRED OF RECALIBRATING YOUR WHEEL WHEN YOU START > PAPYRUS/SIERRA > > NASCAR: > > > > > > > > As you all know I am a slow learning.. lol Ever since I got NASCAR I > have > > had to very very often recalibrate my > > > > wheel after I start up the game.

I cannot see what's the big problem here..... Just dont click on anything after you've launched (i.e clicked on the icon or shortcut to launch N2002) N2002! Dont click on anything and the "problem" is gone - it's simple as that. -- ed_

Great Advice, Ed the advice was for people that didnt realize you shouldnt click on the game while it was intializing. -- Donald Wilshe 888 588-9207 Martel Brothers Performance, Worlds Largest On-Line Auto Parts Mfg Catalog Library www.martelbros.com Other Interest: www.ivga.com www.games-advertising.com www.whra.com "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:lIZf9.250$[email hidden]... > I cannot see what's the big problem here..... > > Just dont click on anything after you've launched (i.e clicked on the icon > or shortcut to launch N2002) N2002!

Its funny that I've never once thought to click on anything while the game was loading in the first place, so I never even knew the problem existed. -- Biz "Don't touch that please, your primitive intellect wouldn't understand alloys and compositions and,......things with molecular structures,....and the....." - Ash Don Wilshe <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:C2Kg9.258018$[email hidden]... > Great Advice, Ed the advice was for people that didnt realize you shouldnt > click on > the game while it was intializing. > > -- > Donald Wilshe > 888 588-9207 > Martel Brothers Performance, Worlds Largest On-Line Auto Parts Mfg Catalog > Library > www.martelbros.com > Other Interest: > www.ivga.com > www.games-advertising.com > www.whra.com > > > "Ed Solheim" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:lIZf9.250$[email hidden]... > > I cannot see what's the big problem here..... > > > > Just dont click on anything after you've launched (i.e clicked on the icon > > or shortcut to launch N2002) N2002!
