MS FF Wheel

I really like this wheel and with the MX300 sound card, the force feedback seems to have improved. Anyway, in Nascar 1999, I cannot select the paddles for shifting. When I highlight shiftup or shiftdown and then press a paddle there is NO response. Any ideas? Thanks dkmedic

On Thu, 18 Mar 1999 21:18:52 -0600, David Bainbridge Isn't the gameport on the MX300 digital? It was my understanding that the MS FF Wheel wouldn't function (possibly the FF part?) on a digital gameport, i.e. the PDPI... G. Patricks

Use the sidewinder profiler software to program PgUp and PgDn keys to your paddles. Then, go into N99 and select Shift up and hit PgUp, SHift down and select PgDn. Hope that helps... -/- Walk Walker

The MS wheel uses the MIDI port - same connector, different circuitry.

As Sidewinder is a product name, shouldn't you write it with a capital S??? That should be very important for a business man like you, shouldn't it?

Which is funny, since the wheel doesn't work with N2 :) -Larry > Use the profile for NASCAR 2 in the sidewinder profile activator, it comes > with the wheel.

In the MS Profile Editor do a "file open" and open the file for Nascar 2. It has the paddle shifters and buttons already mapped. You can't activate the paddles from within NR99 - they must be setup in a profile and mapped to the keyboard. Doug
