Gravis GamePad NASCAR

3 posts by 3 people · 05 Jun 1995 - 11 Jun 1995

Does anyone have any info on using the Gravis PC GamePad with NASCAR racing. I have tried it, but it seems as if when I am steering that the control causes the car to steer hard left or right. Is there a way to have it gradually turn as with other joysticks or the keys? Any info would be appreciated.

The Gravis gamepad is not an analog joystick correct? I believe it is a digital joypad which reports values as if it were an analog stick. (ie. On the X axis, it can read full left, center, or full right, but it returns it as an analog stick would) If this is the case, then there is no solution to your problem (other than to not use the Gravis GamePad)

The bizarre thing is that the Gravis (or similar) GamePad is being bundled with Nascar Racing in the software stores. I just don't get it. Ralf
