I need an installation disk for the T2. I can't find it on any websites to download. (even Thrustmaster) I got a new computer, and have no idea what I did with the old disk. Probably went with the old computer stuff. And I want to use the T2 for DTR.. I'll gladly send a postage paid disk envelope and will return it immediately. Or if it is something that could be attached to an email, that would be even better. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Take out the x's in the email address to reply via email...
You can't find it because there is no such thing. It doesn't need an installation disk, it is nothing more than a plain old joystick shaped like a steering wheel and pedals. Plug it into your soundcard or gameport or whatever you have, calibrate it in Control Panel, and that's all there is to it. There was some kind of TMScope utility or something that came with it (I think) but that's not necessary, either. ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Just go to game controllers and select add, choose Thrustmaster Formula T1/T2 with adapter. Rgds Phil.

There WAS no installation disk. Depending on your T2, if it's one of the oldest one, it hooks up like a T1 (steering is X1, pedals are X2) meaning you install it as T1/T2 Without Adapter (unless you plug in the white adapter of course). The later T2's are wired like they always have the adapter (steering is X1, pedals are Y1) -- Kirk Lane ICQ: 28171652 BRT #187 "Yeah you won't find me I'm going MIA Tonight I'm leaving Going MIA Getting lost in you again Is better than being known" -Foo Fighters, "MIA"

there is a download called thrustmaster pro panel out there somewhere, designed for detecting and calibrating your thrustmaster products

You don't need any disk to get your T2 working. Its just the same as any other joystick, gamepad or wheel and pedals? Plug it into your soundcard gameport (or gamecard) and configure the wheel in control panel, and away you go!!! There is a Thrustmaster "Pro Panel" program, but you do not need it as it merely imitates the game controllesr icon in control panel, but if you want it check out the Thrustmaster wensite... 8-) *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html
Hmm, what do you need a disk for? Just use the custom controller, give it two axis and four buttons, and off you go.
