>Hi can anybody who has T2 recomende a setup for it! And do you use the >"adaptor" with one axis or without and two axis?....... >GP2 is the best game ever!!!!.......... How to Set Up a ThrustMaster T2 ------------------------------- From the main menu of Grand Prix 2: 1) Select "Control Method." 2) Select "Not Used." 3) Select "Advanced Menu." 4) Select "Joystick A Horiz" for Steering Device. 5) Select "Analog" for Steering Mode. 6) Select "Joystick B Horiz" for Acceleration Device. 7) Select "Analog" for Acceleration Mode. 8) Select "Joystick B Horiz" for Brake Device. 9) Select "Switched" for Braking Mode. 10) Select "Control Driven Calibration" for Control Method. Do not touch any other settings. You can edit the set name to say "T2" or "TMaster" and then save the file. Now calibrate the device, and your T2 should work.

Thank you for an excellent sim. This sim believe it or not is one of the major reasons I purchased a puter 2 1/2 years ago. hehehe I have been waiting a long time.<G> Two questions. Is it possible to not have the brakes lock everytime you press z? Wouldnt it be alot better to have it be progressive in that when you first press it the brakes build pressure until they lock a second or so later. That way you could press it repeatably for heavy braking. Also Im having a problem using the auto brakes in that they lock up unless you are perfectly on line. Makes it difficult to overtake. And until I figure out how to brake without locking up the brakes Im stuck using the auto brake. Been thinkin about using the WC2 as a brake as well so may have a go at that. Any suggestions on setting that up. I currently have the FCS as the steering wheel and the WCS2 as the throttle. Would it be possible to have the forward half of the travel be the throttle and the rear half as the brake? That would take care of the locking brakes. Umm maybe the RCS could be used....umm. Thanks for any help. This is all I hoped it would be. Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand

Scratch that the WCS2 fix works like a charm. Of course I still suck at manual braking........oooohhhhh shiiiiiiittttt here comes that hairpin and Im going 2 million miles an hour...... Pierre PAPA DOC Legrand

One query on this, Why would the braking device be swutched.. i.e. digital on/off. Surely you want analog braking, not just on or off. Mike.

Yeah, I too thought you would want analog braking just as much as youd want analog throttle. I dont own a T2, but Im planning to buy one. Now, if theres no analog braking Ill not even bother thinking about buying a T2. Is this the case?

papadoc: Get yourself a pair of rudders (CH double as a throttle/break better than RCS). You know you are gonna need em anyway as soon as Red Baron2 comes out. And if you still have your Longbow box it should have a 10$ rebate in it :) Eric Fesler

On the GP2 disk there is a Thrustmaster 2 setup already there in the GPFILES directory called T2.CON, just load that up and it sets up everything automatically then just calibrate. It sets braking to Analogue by the way which is much better cause you can vary the way in which you break without stop starting, ie applying little pressure or applying full presure on a straight to stop quickly, applying full presure around a corner will cause you to spin etc but little pressure often helps to straighten the car or to intentionally spin the backs around a little etc....With the right combo of throtle and braking you cna get some good cornering speed in switch mode it doesn't seem to work the same and stopping distrances are longer I found. Cu Steve I'm suprised the Microsoft Support person didn't just say to load the T2.CON file from the CD instead of going through step by step instructions on how to set it up, sounds a little weird to me.

Thanks Gabriel, but .... isn't there a t2.con file on the CD in the directory GPFILES? Isn't it better to use this? greetings, Remco
