TEST - FSPRO.EXE

     The Joystick Test and Centering program on this disk, FSPRO.EXE,
is also a useful program to copy to your boot disk.  It provides a quick
means for setting the trim tabs to center your joystick.  Once your
joystick is centered, small changes in the trim settings can be made
to recenter the joystick.


     Stir the stick to all four corners to make sure the maximum
and minimum ranges of the joystick are reached, repeating the trim
adjustment as necessary.  If you find the joystick range will not go
full right or down, simply adjust the trims a little left and up.  Then
press K to recalibrate.  The joystick will now reach full range.

Troubleshooting

    If you can only get buttons One, Two, and View Left to work,
this means that your gameport only supports one joystick. You will
have to install a gamecard that supports two joysticks, such as
GAMECARD 3 Automatic.

    If you get the error message "Please make sure that the Flight
Stick Pro is plugged in and try again", and you have it plugged in.
This may mean that your gameport does not support two joysticks, this
is necessary for correct operation of FS Pro. A conflict between two 
different gameports may also cause this error.

    Only one active gameport is allowed on the computer. If you have
more than one gameport on separate boards (such as on a I/O board and
on a sound board), one of these gameports will have to be disabled.
(contact the manufacturer of your computer or sound board for help
in disabling a gameport).

BIOS
     The BIOS program lets you see what values are calculated by
the firmware which operates your computer.  A large number of
computers have a bug in the section of the BIOS which provides
joystick services.  Even when it works, the values returned by
the BIOS firmware are very different from one computer type to
another.  For these reasons, most programs which use joysticks
provide their own software internally to read the joysticks.  If
your BIOS does not work, a few games which use the BIOS and
GWBASIC will not run with a joystick.  CH Products has developed
a solution to this problem.  Simply execute the Patch routine
called TSR15.COM.  Further information can be found below under
the TSR15.COM heading.

     We are trying to get the bugs out of the BIOS programs by
contacting the companies which manufacture these programs.  If
your BIOS does not work, drop us a note.  We need to know who
wrote the BIOS for your computer, the version number and date.
This information appears on your screen when you boot your
computer.  Include the make and model of the computer.

PATCH - TSR15.COM

     TSR15 is a resident program which intercepts program calls to
the computer's BIOS for joystick data.  If a game uses the computer's BIOS
for joystick data, and there is a fault in those routines, the game
will not work.  TSR15 replaces the BIOS routines.

     Run the BIOS test.  If your computer fails this BIOS test,
exit to DOS and load the TSR15 program or simply execute the Patch
routine found on the main menu.  Then run the BIOS program
again and notice the difference.  TSR15 will remain loaded and
ready for use until the computer is rebooted.

     If you decide to use TSR15, you may find it most convenient to
load it every time you boot your computer.  To do this, edit your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file and put "TSR15" in just after the "PROMPT"
command which is already there.  You may also simply run TSR15 from
the DOS command line if you prefer.
                            (MORE)

     Like any program, you must have it available to run it.  We
suggest you copy TSR15.COM to your boot disk C:\ if you have a hard
disk.  Also, like most TSR programs, if you run it more than one time
it will mindlessly load another copy and take up more memory.  Once
is enough each time you boot the computer.

     TSR15 uses 576 bytes of memory.  It traps INT 15, AH=84.  It can not be
removed without rebooting.

necessary drivers for FS4.  At the prompt input the current location of 
FS4 and the drivers will be installed for you.

    * NOTE: This driver is for Flight Sim 4.0 ONLY !
