Thrustmaster Joystick Fails Control Panel Test

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you try to install a ThrustMaster F-16 FLCS joystick using the Joystick tool in Control Panel, the joystick fails the tests performed by Windows 95. When you are finished installing it, the joystick does not function properly.

CAUSE

This problem can occur if the joystick is connected to a ThrustMaster Mark I Weapons Control System (WCS) device, rather than directly to the computer itself. Mark I WCS configurations are not supported by the Windows 95 protected-mode joystick driver (Vjoyd.vxd).

RESOLUTION

Connect the joystick directly to the computer, rather than to the Mark I WCS device.

MORE INFORMATION

The Thrustmaster joystick has been produced with a ThrustMaster Mark I Weapons Control System (WCS) and a ThrustMaster Mark II Weapons Control System (WCS). The Mark II Weapons Control System (WCS) works with Windows 95, but the Mark I Weapons Control System (WCS) does not. For more information contact, ThrustMaster.
