Yep, I bought a N2 wheel less than two months ago and the floppy disk
ProPanel that came with it didn't even have the N2 Wheel as one of the
choices.  It's version 1.0.  So I downloaded version 1.1 from Thrustmaster
at http://www.racesimcentral.net/
wheel in the list.  I can switch between the Sidewinder 3D joystick and the
N2 Wheel without rebooting using ProPanel.  They also have the TMScope
utility there to test the potentiometer in the wheel.

AFAIK the pedals when set to separate axis skip an axis, so the windows
setup doesn't recognise it. You will need to install Thrustmaster's Pro
Panel which should have come with the wheel and calibrate the wheel as a
Nascar Pro with separate pedals.
In GPL if possible try to use the optimised setting which bypasses the
windows game controller and reads directly from the wheel.
