thrustmaster t2 and mtm

Hi I am about to lash out and buy a thrustmaster t2. I have heard of people having troubles with getting the pedals to work with monster truck madness. Has anyone successfully used the t2 with mtm including gear changer and pedals. When you install the game microsoft specifically mention the t2 while you wait. I am assuming that icr2 and the t2 work ok together. Thanks Tony McEvoy

I just got the T2 (for I76) and it works perfectly with MTM and ICR2 Win95 version (don't know about DOS). In fact, it works great with every racing sim I've tried, except for Test Drive: Off ROad, whch is just a piece of shit no matter WHAT controller you're using.

It works with ICR2 for DOS also. --

Sure, MTM works OK with a T2. The gear changer works but isn't used that much in the game. The pedals are much better than using an on-off switch for gas and brakes. I can't vouch for ICR2, but GPII would not be nearly as fun without a T2. The tricky part is to get the T2 configured in Windows 95. My T2 is configured and runs OK but I remember having a little trouble getting it to work the first time. Get one, you won't regret it. BTW, playing Interstate 76 with a T2 is something you just have to experience to believe. Cordially, Buddha
