I'm running Nascar2 with a MS GamePad, but it keeps re-calibrating itself. Anyone else with this problem? I'm running the most updated version of N2 (3rd patch I think) with DirectX v5.2.

Nascar 2 will not work reliably with digital controllers. Besides, using the gamepad is just the same as playing with your keyboard. There are no varying degrees to controls, the d-pad and buttons are on-off only. If you want to race well, get an analog controller. A wheel and pedal combo is the best but an analog joystick well still be infinitely better than your gamepad/keyboard. On a side note, DirectX has nothing to do with NASCAR 2 or any other DOS game.

Yeah, I thought about a wheel, but I haven't seen one I like yet. But hey, maybe soon. Thanks for the info. Andy Backa The only skills I have the patience to learn are - Calvin and Hobbes Chewey Pages: http://home.istar.ca/~chewey
