[OT] CMR2 Problems

[jerry.carter@shaw.ca (Jerry Carter)]

I've got the V3 steering wheel and pedals, and I'd have to say that it slows
me down big time. for some reason the steering on CMR is all or nothing, so
you might as well use the keyboard. I've also tried it with my Microsoft
joystick, but found the same problems. By the looks of it you're best off
with a game pad or the keyboard, and if you use the default keys, you
shouldn't have to re-assign them every time you play. try to find upgraded
video drivers for your vid card, I'd be willing to bet that new drivers cam
out since you wrote this post. the secret to winning every rally, is to not
hit the walls! I was constantly coming in 16th until I decided to try to
miss the trees, now I'm usually about 45-50 sec. ahead of McRae by the end
of the rally, just wish I could get past France! it's hard to drive when you
have traction.............
