Nascar2/NRL: Idea and Question

by Evan Siegwort » Wed, 31 Jul 1996 04:00:00

I don't know if anyone else has this problem, but the way my computer desk is, when I
attach my steering wheel, my keyboard is hard to reach because its on a sliding tray
under the now attached wheel.  (can you say run-on sentence?)
Anyways, I was thinking theres plenty of unused space at the top of the screen, that
you could put the car directly in front and behind you and the interval.  Like the shift-f2
screen.  But it would always be there.  

And more importantly (to me anyways), give the option to map the pause key to a joystick/wheel
button.

And to my question, will the NRL allow handles?  Just my opinion, but makes it look less
professional to have them.   And if not, will there be a standard format for the names?
(evans, Evan_Siegworth, SEvans, etc...)
Just wondering...I'm bored ok? :)

  I don't know what wheel you have but on my homemade wheel I a set of
those over-the-monitor-keyboard-holders ontop of my wheels body and set the
keyboard up there.  It's below the view of the monitor but tilted so that I
can get to it relatively easily.  Hope this helps.
