I have a Gravis Analog Pro joystick. I've just bought NASCAR even though I play ICR like never before. I discovered that I have a joystick problem with NASCAR. I start the game in VGA mode and calibrate the joystick. When I finished calibrating and gone back to the option menu the selection highlight begin running up or down the menu. I have used the GRAVCOMP program to finetune my joystick but to no avail. It's only NASCAR that I have a problem with. ICR and F1GP works just fine. I have version 1.2 of NASCAR. I have noticed that the readings from my joystick when I calibrates are somewhat erratic, just as they would be since the behaviour of the joystick is quite erratic, too. These readings are wrong since I get a perfect reading in every other program that uses a joystick. I know that NASCAR is quite demanding when it comes to hardware. I have only 4Mb of RAM and a DX/2 66, I don't know if NASCAR is screwing up because of my lack of RAM. My joystick is connected to a Ultrasound soundcard. Can anyone come to my rescue? __________________ University of Oslo, Norway ______________________________________________ "I am your inferior superior." ----------------------------------------------

[cut] There is definitely a patch out there. I have it. It's (v1.0 -> v1.2) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I haven't seen at the Papyrus site or any other but it exists. I got it through alternative sources. __________________ University of Oslo, Norway ______________________________________________ "I am your inferior superior." ----------------------------------------------

There IS a patch out there, but it's 1.0->1.1. 1.2 is soon to be out according to Jane at Papyrus. Wold Johansen) says: >> >I have a Gravis Analog Pro joystick.
