Steering Wheel under NT4 (SP4)?

[obelix 0]

Im running Monaco Racing Simulation (Ubisoft)

on my PC. It works fine with NT4, using a

Voodoo Banshee Board and Glide 2.6, Glide 3.1

 

The only problem is my joystick. It works, but it would be much more fun to use a steerring wheel.

Has anyone found a steering wheel that works

under NT4?

 

 

thanks in advance

Actually, a steering wheel is very similar to a joystick. There's no reason why it wouldn't work. The wheel is the same as left/right motion of a joystick. The gas pedal is like pushing forward on the stick and the brake is like pulling back on the stick.

 

The only problem may be that you couldn't load the software to calibrate the wheel. This may or may not stop you from using the wheel to play with since you can set the range of motion etc. from the joystick control panel.

I am wondering if you might be able to help me out with a problem on my setup. What type of joystick do you have, and did you have any problems getting it to work? I have already posted a request for help on this topic in this forum.

 

Sorry about not having information on the steering wheel question. Any reply is appreciated.

If your referring as to how to install the joystick driver for NT, here's a quick rundown.

 

-Insert your NT CD-ROM in the drive (close the Autorun box if it comes up)

-Open Multimedia under the Control Panel

-Click on the "Devices" tab

-Click on "Add"

-Select "Unlisted or Updated Driver"

-Either type in this path or select "Browse" and find it manually

"(CD Driver letter):\drvlib\multimed\joystick\x86\"

-Select "Analog joystick" and press "OK"

-Select the address and options for your particular joystick

-Hit "OK" and restart the computer

 

You should now have a generic joystick driver installed. You can calibrate it and setup the buttons using "Game Controllers" in Control Panel.
