Game not recognizing pedals!!

[Dixie Rekt]

I got this game the other day and when I try to use my Thrustmast Nascar Pro Digital wheel/pedals the damn game wont recognize either brake or gas pedal. I Have tried everything I know to try but still wont work. It works just fine on all my other racing games. Any help is GREATLY appreciaed.

Hey zzkikr,

I'll see if this wheel is compatible with NASCAR 14. Thanks!

[Dixie Rekt]

Anything?

[TheFifthElement]

Not yet. I'll let you know anything as soon as I do.

[Dixie Rekt]

well I got it to recognize one, but only the brake pedal. I even separated the axis in the thrusmapper program. Even if I assign the brakes to a button the accelorator wont work. The game recognizes it when I'm setting it up, but in game it wont do anything at all.

still nothing? if i cant get this game to work like it should i guess i should ask for a refund and play Nascar Racing 2003

Waiting for the list of compatible wheel/pedal set combinations. Apologies for the lack of response.

thrustmaster says to uninstall the mapper cause it's not compatible with the newest driver

http://ts.thrustmaster.com/eng/index.php?pg=view_files&gid=1&fid=2&pid=18&cid=1

Check it out if you click on the list and select PC/wheels/ nascar pro forced feedback

You will see 2 of them when you select driver you will see the difference.
ONE is specifically for vista 32 / 64 and does not talk about the Thrusmapper

The other says compatible with everything and I suspect that is the one you want.
This is the one that says uninstall Thrustmapper

Just follow the instructions there and you should be in business.

Tried that. still doesn't work with Nascar 14 properly but still works fine with other racing games.

Did you try to check the (my nascar/contol settings) to see if it's mapped correctly. Check to be sure that the pedal binds are actually bound to the throttle and not to something else for some reason. It may have mismapped the pedal binds. At least see if you can try to bind the pedal to anything at all to see if nascar even recognizes it as a button push or anything at all.

[Dixie Rekt]

done that. it will recognize the pedal but only as the brake. ive even tried separating the axis on the pedals but that doesnt work either. so far ive wasted my $$ on this game

[Captain86]

So did you uninstall the mapper completely cause you can't reinstall it for this after you install the driver. The instruction say remove the mapper, and the driver, then install the driver but do NOT reinstall the mapper again

I would even remove the mapper folder after you uninstall the mapper since it's not really compatible with the newest driver anyhow.

OR perhaps you could try installing an older driver and mapper that is compatible with the mapper too.

I don't know if the older drivers are available but if there is a driver and mapper that are compatible together then I would install those (in compatiblity mode) 32bit compatibility mode (select windows XP) compatiblity for both the driver and mapper. Then try that and install both in compatiblity mode and I would select windows xp 32 bit compatibility mode.

Printers sometimes have this same problem where there may be a driver that works on windows 7 but actually the driver was indeed written for windows XP and may not be 100% compatible with every single application in windows 7.

This could be a problem with this wheel and driver as well. It might have a driver and say compatible with windows 7 but actually it could be a hack made to use the older driver on windows 7 which may not really be compatible with every application or game. Even if you don't have trouble with other games.

I don't see it as a waste of money but you could also get a newer rig for the game if you really enjoy nascar.

I know not what your looking for but if you like it and want to play you have to keep hacking or get a rig and be done with it.

Anyhow hope this helps I would experiement with installing an older driver with mapper in compatibility mode instead and see if that solves it.

The problem is NOT with my drivers, its with the damn game. I have tried everything I can but the game will ONLY recognzie the brake pedal, not the gas. MY WHEEL WORKS PERFECT IN EVERY OTHER RACING GAME I HAVE! It's a problem with Nascar 14 and it needs to be fixed. So far it's been a waste of my hard earned money!

any plans to add support for more wheels?
I cant see buying a new wheel just to play this game when I already have one
