GPL Joystick Help

3 posts by 3 people · 28 Oct 1998 - 28 Oct 1998

I'd welcome advice or help; setup Dell PII 300 Matrox Millenium AGP 2 CL V2 SLI Monster M80 TSW running sep throttle/brake axis plugged into Monster At random but not infrequent times during driving, the joystick seems to go bonkers, the arms of the driver pull to one side, very rapidly, then back to center. Of course, at Spa, this is fatal. I've WD40'd lightly, the pot for the wheel and it seems to work OK, most of the time - is this tied to a disk access during the game? I have a large install, WIndows swap on another drive at 250/250. Had the same with 400/400 and 150/150. Any ideas or thoughts are welcome. Thanks in advance. Russ

>Get a Microsoft Sidewinder FF Wheel, it'll solve all your problems. Unless you want to run NASCAR 2, GP2, ICR2, or anything else that isn't Win95 native and uses DirectInput- as far as I know, everything MS makes controller-wise requires DirectX to work. Am I wrong on this? I know the Sidewinder Gamepad I bought for my daughter to use in Screamer 2 was not recognized by the program running in a DOS box. If that's the case with the wheel, I'd steer clear....if not, I won't pass judgement without trying one. -- Scott Moore Hoosier MotorSports [link lost in import] Sports *** Network [link lost in import: /***.com]
