Greetings,
I purchased the Thrustmaster Formula T2 -- as part of Computer City's closeout
sale. However, when I opened the box, I noticed there was no software bundled
with it. Being an absolute novice at this -- did I get the shaft on this deal?
-- or, am I simply supposed to plug it in and expect it to work? The latter,
I might add, has not resulted in anything.
Before closing, I'd like an informed opinion as to what is considered the most
compatible (among the many available racing games) steering wheel setup on the
market.
Thanks in advance for whatever information I get from this query.
A response to my email address would be most appreciated.
Respectfully,
Steven Oxner
Just download the ProPanel from TM's web site, and you'll be all set.
There is no other software...

I am not sure, but I thought you should have gotten a diskette with some
sorta files (though you really don't need much). For help head to
http://www.thrustmaster.com/support/wheel_docs/genT1,T2.htm
You should also get TM's ProPanel (not needed for Win98) at
ftp://208.129.210.78/pub/library/calibration/propanelv11.exe
There is a great DOS utility called TMScope at
ftp://208.129.210.78/pub/library/calibration/tmscope.exe

Thrustmaster created the steering wheel setup and most of the racing
game developers work with them when they code their software. However,
most wheels are designed to work with most sims. Some of the
FF wheels may not work with older DOS only sims.

Naw, when I bought my t2 it was before they (Thrustmaster) came out with the
Pro Panel, ( the presumed missing diskette).
That wheel, with 95 (Better do the service packs from Microsoft if it isnt
OSR2...) is very good / compatable... since you posted, you can get
propanel from TM's web page...
T2's are still almost preffered of the Thrustmaster line... I bought me a
Nascar Pro, it lasted 1 month, then the buttons on the wheel were not
working...
You better keep up your web account.... you will be replacing pedal
springs!!!!!
TM will send em to ya pretty fast and free usually!!!
