I have a Nascar Charger wheel that I use with Need for Speed 3. My question is: is there anyway to tighten up the steering, as it isn't very precise. I've set the Dead Zone for both axis to 0%, but I still don't have the control I want. Any suggestions?? Jim

I did this to my T-Master T@ with excellent results. -Brian Mc

Try the DX Deadzone Utility found here: http://www.wingmanteam.com/Latest_Software/Gadgets/gadgets.htm It's for wingman controllers but is known to work with a lot of directX controllers. ->snip DXDeadZone allows you to change deadzone settings of a DirectInput game controller. This utility works with Windows 98, 98SE, Me, and 2000. -> Hope it helps. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... | I have a Nascar Charger wheel that I use with Need for Speed 3.

Well you can try all the previous suggestions but mine (as a former Charger owner) would be to toss the wheel in the garbage and get a decent one. I went through two of them in a month (the first one was bad out of the box) and finally gave up and bought a LWFF.

I snapped the bungie on two Chargers in a row, so I got a Nascar Pro Digital. Much better, and the petals feel better, too (though I miss the petals on my F1 T2 the most :) ). "Michael Horton" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<3kES6.21300$[email hidden]>...
