Re: Dukes of Hazzard - Wheel??

I'm sorry, but I don't find this question funny at all -- remember, the Dukes of Hazard game supposedly came from the same engine that was supposed to become "Trans Am Racing 1967 - 1972," and THAT was supposed to be a GPL/West Brothers-caliber simulation. If there IS any similarities between TAR and DoH, then it saddens me that something could be dumbed-down so much (although I must admit that I haven't played DoH myself yet, but the reviews -- and lack of steering wheel support -- do not sound promising. The cancellation of TAR marked a sad moment in the world of sim racing, and DoH is no consolation prize -- nor is it a laughing matter. Laughable, perhaps, but . . . ;-) - JB In article <[email hidden]>, Xena <[email hidden]> wrote: > On Sun, 30 Jul 2000 10:43:27 GMT, Ben <[email hidden]> > wrote: > > >Hi all, > > > >Does anyone know how to setup Dukes of Hazzard to use a steeringwheel?

Because GPL is a sim, and DoH is an arcade game that includes some driving aspects, but keyboard-only controls. What a sad waste of the General Lee, though. -- JB In article <LgVg5.21845$[email hidden]>, "Morgan V. Wooten�" <[email hidden]> wrote: > Grand Prix Legends accepts wheels without question.

On the other hand, it wasn't all that great of a response to the original question . . . <G> -- JB Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Hi all, Does anyone know how to setup Dukes of Hazzard to use a steering wheel? I have a Thrustmaster T2, which works fine in my other games, but I cannot work out how to tell DoH to use it. Any ideas? Cheers, Ben Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

Dukes of Hazzard is keyboard only... and not woth the installation time. Andre

Dukes was the absolute WORST excuse for a driving game I have EVER encountered.. I was hoping for something driver-ish (was I expecting too much?!!?) and what I got made Mario Kart look like GPL. It wasn't any where near worth the 3.20 I spent on cd's burning it on to. what a disgrace. I kept thinking I was missing something.... but no. It just sucks. I think they spent all their time on voice over and video and at the last minute remembered they were making a game so they threw in some race code. just garbage. speedracer Andre Warringa <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

That is outrageous!!!! $3.20 for CD"S????? Man you got jipped. I pay about .50 cents USA a disc. May have made your Dukes burn a little easier to take. Seriously. I have this game for the playstation (a gift) and it is not terrible. But of course with the Analog PSX controller you can actually control the car, it is not to the level of Driver (even the PSX version of Driver) but not terrible. I was amazed at the low quality of the 3D engine, since it was derived from that amazing looking Trans Am game... I think I need to make my own game... no one ever seems to get them right...

Apologies if someone already suggested this. On my Logitech wheel, I can set up profiles to allow the wheel to replace certain keystrokes. I'd have thought this would allow some limited wheel use in a keyboard only game. Ben wrote:

Is that Logitech software that allows you to do that, is it freeware, or is it part of Windows? I might try and have a go with that... Cheers, Ben In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote:
