If you are using a joystick/wheel in Win95, make sure it is calibrated in Win95 Joystick Properties (found in Control Panel). Before starting the game, delete the file CALIBWIN.VAL from the ICR2 folder in Windows Explorer. This will get rid of the previous calibration information in the game.

Next, start the game. Go to OPTIONS, choose CALIBRATION, then move the joystick to all its extents. For wheels, turn the wheel all the way to the right and left and return to center. Press the gas pedal all the way down and back and repeat for the brake pedal.

After the wheel is calibrated, you can set your controls. Go to OPTIONS, then SET CONTROLS. Click the "Modify" button next to STEERING. This will bring up a box that says "Set Control Gesture" and "Steer to the left, then right." Use your joystick to steer left then right. The box may automatically disappear when you move the wheel to the left, but it should say Joy 1 X Axis <>. If it does, do not try to set steering again. This can cause the problem of steering backwards when you get to the race. Set the rest of your controls the same way, clicking on the arrow and following the directions in the SET CONTROL GESTURES box. Make sure no two gestures are set the same.

In some cases, particularly with digital controllers, calibrating the joystick in the game can cause interference. If you are still having problems, delete the CALIBWIN.VAL file again. Then start the game, DO NOT calibrate the joystick in the game, and set the controls.
