Ubi F1 and T2

by Robert Mull » Tue, 02 Sep 1997 04:00:00

I have tried all of the things I have read here to solve my inability
to use the T2 with F1. It is configured in Win95 and works fine with
N2, SODA etc.... and I have hit <A> at the startong grid as sugested
but still no go. Any one have other ideas? I am using the beige axis
converter that came with it and a TMaster ACM game card. I would
really like to try this with a wheel.

Sorry. It doesnt seem to be recognized at all. I can whack it this way
and that and I get no response. Have to use the keyboard right now.

Are you guys using the ProPanel from ThrustMaster?  This is an excellent
replacement for the joystick panel in Win95 and helps many Win95
programs find and work with the T1/T2/GP1.

Point your browser to:
        http://www.thrustmaster.com/support/propanel.html

Maybe just maybe this will work for you.  If not it will improve your
calibration in Win95 with your other sims.

That was the ticket, Thanks. Next question though, does everybody else
feel a kind of "snap back" with the steering wheel when going back to
center off a turn? On my set up it is so extreme it seems to actually
pull you the opposite direction. Pretty cool sim if all of the setup
options work properly.

Maybe this is a stupid question but are you using the little axis
converter that comes with the T2?

Please reference the date code on the bottom of the steering console.
Please reference note for explanation of date code.

If the date code is less than 961118, (in other words, if the T2 was
manufactured before November 18th 1996) you need to use the converter
for Win95. Place the converter in between your joystick port and the T2
connector.  If I remember correctly ProPanel will not detect your T2
if the converter is not installed properly.  Try disconnecting the
pedals and see if you can detect the steering wheel only.  Then try
connecting the pedals only to your game card and see if they can be
detected.  If they can be found individually, the problem seems to be
with the converter.  Though, I don't know what could go wrong with it
you may need another one.  Contact ThrustMaster and ask for a new one.

If the date code is 961118 or later, (in other words, if the T2 was
manufactured after November 18th 1996) the converter is no longer needed

**Note: the date code consists of six numbers. The first two numbers are
the year of manufacture (961118). The second two numbers are the month
of manufacture (961118) in this case the 11th month or November. The
last two numbers are the day of manufacture(961118) in this case the
18th day. The proper translation of 961118 is November 18th, 1996.
