Un-installing ProPanel and ThrustMaster Game Device Viewer

Contacting ThrustMaster


Using ProPanel

1 - To open ProPanel use your mouse and double-click on the My Computer icon on your Windows 95 desktop. Next, double-click on the Control Panel folder icon. From within Control Panel scroll down the list to the ProPanel icon. Double-click on the ProPanel icon.

2 - Once in ProPanel click on the Device Selection Button.

3 - From the list, select the device you wish to calibrate.

NOTE: Please check the entire list for the ThrustMaster driving control you wish to calibrate.

Supported Devices:

ThrustMaster T1/T2 Driving Controls

ThrustMaster Grand Prix 1 Driving Control

ThrustMaster NASCAR Pro w/ combined pedals

ThrustMaster NASCAR Pro w/ separate pedals

ThrustMaster Formula Pro w/ combined pedals

ThrustMaster Formula Pro w/ separate pedals

4 - Click on the Calibrate Button and follow the on- screen instructions.

Please note - If you have a fast system or are using a game port other than ThrustMaster's ACM speed adjustable game card, the cross-hair position marker may appear to be "stuck" in the lower right corner of the calibration window.  In extreme cases the position marker may not move at all during the calibration routine. This has no effect on the calibration itself.  Continue the calibration process even if you don't see any visible movement of the marker.

5 - Once you have completed calibration, click on the Test Button.  The position marker should be centered.  Move the controller to verify it has been calibrated correctly.  Press the controller buttons to confirm that they work properly.

6 - Click on the [image] button when you are finished.

7 - You are ready to play!

Additional Notes:

You need to re-calibrate only if you change controllers. If you keep the same controller connected all the time, you should need to calibrate only once (when you install the controller), as calibration values are saved to your hard disk.

The Microsoft Joystick panel is still available, if you wish to use it. Just be aware that calibrating the controller using the Joystick panel overwrites the values saved by Propanel. Likewise, using ProPanel for calibration overwrites values saved by the Joystick panel.

Device button

Next to the Device Selection button you will see the selected controller icon.   If you click on this, the current device settings are displayed. It is possible to do some customization of the control here.

Why use the ProPanel at all?

ProPanel solves some problems the standard Joystick panel has with accurate reporting of joystick data, especially on faster computers or with game ports on sound cards and multi-IO cards.
