I don't know and I don't care. GPL more than any other sim deserves all the
control realism it can get. If Kaemmer & Co. really do care about their
baby, which despite sales is the best sim ever made, then one would think
they would want to add that big missing piece...that shifter. I can't
express how frustrating it is to be staring over at the useless up/down
shifter in the old mode when I so badly want to remove the template and
start driving it like a real car!
From Act Labs, it takes an average of half an hour to an hour to add support
to a game.
