Same problem on the MSFFW.

It looks like Papyrus 'forgot' to give us access to these 'nice' things.

These people are great at simulations, but they don't seem to know
Joystick/Wheel controls for shit.

Calibrate in windows first...then propanel...finally set up buttons in N2.
Works for me. Good luck.

They should work.... Do you have anything else assigned to Joy2
buttons? If you do, try assigning these to a some other controller.
Then open up the option box for shifting and press one of the buttons.

Are you running in a DOS box or using the Win version? If you are using
Win95, you may want to try installing Thrustmaster's ProPanel applet
which will work better than the default joystick/game controllers
applet.
