Issues fixed

Weird controller behavior with DOSBox

Turn off the timed option[citation needed]
  1. Open the DOSBox configuration (in the GOG.com version, that's dosbox_wwheels.conf)
  2. Locate the [joystick] section
  3. Change timed=true to timed=false

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/358380/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (358380) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
