Interstate`76 + Grand Prix 1 wheel setup problem.

Hi there, I`ve just bought the excellent Interstate 76, but I`m having trouble setting it up my Grand Prix 1 steering wheel. I`m using the supplied adapter because windows 95 doesn`t recognise it without it. The steering left-right is ok, but I`m having trouble setting up the throttle/brake. When I test the configuration after setting up, the cross is in the centre horizontally, but only a quarter of the way from the bottom vertically. When I then press the throttle the cross moves up to the middle then jumps to the top. This results in the car not accelerating properly and I can`t even achieve a fast speed. I have set up the game with a joystick and the configuration was perfect and the car really flew. There's nothing wrong with the wheel as it runs all my other driving games really well. It just don`t like windows 95. Have you got this or a similar problem? Is there a windows 95 joystick driver for the wheel? Is there another way around the problem? Please help if you can, as I really want to use the wheel for this game. Thanks. -- Best regards, Dan. ---------------------------------------- -If it ain`t broke don`t fix it- ----------------------------------------

GP1 works fine on my OSR2 machine with a TM ACM gamecard

Had the EXACT same problem on SB AWE32. Switched to a thrustmaster ACm game card and it worked like a charm. - Wager
