% TOCA T1 & T2 steering download the program from Thrustmaster to replace
% the joystick control in 95. delete the T1 or T2 & add new device e.g. T1 set
% it up & go. I had the same problem & after doing the above much better.
He is referring to ProPanel and it can be found at:
ftp://208.129.210.78/pub/library/propanel.exe
Here is Thrustmaster's explaination as to why the ProPanel is worth
using:
Win95 joystick panel has a max limit to the mid-range value of the
control during calibration. Meaning if your mid-range value is above
this limit the mid range will be written to the windows registry as this
artificial value. It is then possible to have your min-range value be
higher than the mid-range. Needless to say, this screws up the
calibration and gameplay. The ProPanel writes the actual values to the
windows registry that are being outputted by the control. Needless to
say, this screws up the calibration and gameplay. The ProPanel writes
the actual values to the windows registry that are being outputted by
the control.
