I have a Thrustmaster Lotus FFB wheel running under XP Home. On a number of older games I find when I get into the menus, to select e.g., controls, that the highlighted item keeps scrolling right down. So I can only select the bottom item (usual Quit!). The scrolling doesn't always happen but usually starts within a few seconds of getting into the menus and so for a number of games I have been unable to choose or set the controls I want to use for that wheel. If I disconnect the wheel connection and reboot and restart the program then the scrolling does not happen. But then of course I cannot choose the wheel controls I want! Any help would be welcome Thanks Nigel
Sounds like the game is using controller input to act like a mouse, and scrolls your list accordingly. Try pressing the pedals a few times to let the wheel calibrate itself. Otherwise play with the pedals a bit so that the scrolling stops. Cheers, Ruud nandrews wrote:
