Control Method 

Included on the Grand Prix 2 CD-ROM is a directory called GPFILES that contains predefined controller files for the ThrustMaster T2 and GP500 race systems. 
You can use these as examples to set up your own units. 

The joystick port built into the Ensoniq Soundscape has a known compatibility problem recognizing the GP500 race system (which may affect other sticks). There's nothing we can do but suggest the use of a game card. 

Before calibrating a nonstandard joystick, it is important to select "Control Driven Calibration." 

Make sure you select the correct joystick axis. If the red calibration dot fails to move, it is more than likely that you selected the wrong joystick port. 

Be sure to save the controller file.
