Changing your Wheel from 3-Axis to 2-Axis Gaming Option
You may find in some older games that the 3-axis gaming option (with separate axes
for gas and brake) will not function correctly. In order to remedy this, visit the Saitek
website
www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers.htm
to download a free utility that will allow
you to change the number of axes.
3. HAVE QUESTIONS? HERE’S SOME HELP!
a. My computer isn’t recognizing the R100 Wheel as an active controller. What’s
wrong?
• Check the cable connections. Unplug the wheel and plug it back in again, making
certain that the connection is snug. Disconnect the pedal unit and reconnect it,
ensuring that the connector snaps into place.
b. I plugged the R100 into the USB port, but my computer doesn’t recognize it.
• Your computer’s USB connection may not be enabled. Check your computer’s
documentation for instructions on switching it on via the BIOS settings. If you have
any problems, contact Technical Support.
PLAY IT SAFE!
Whether you’re in the
middle of an intensely
exciting race or simply out for a
casual drive, remember that it’s
important to be aware of how
you’re sitting and how you’re
gripping the wheel! Try not to
stay in the same position for too
long, and be sure to take breaks
now and then. Be smart—don’t
take a chance on straining your
wrists, hands, or fingers!
