Hi there,

I have just got GPL. Is it possible to change the control key mappings? I
would like for example to use Q for accel and A for decel - but I can't seem
to select these keys in the control key setup menu of GPL. (In fact I only
seem to be able to select the numeric keypad and the function keys).

Peter.

Do you mean you are going to try and run GPL with a keyboard? If so GOOD
LUCK!!!

Well.....maybe not. It does appear rather difficult. Maybe my suckiness is
heightened by trying to use the keyboard. Does a wheel/pedals help gameplay?

You would not belive the difference it makes to use a wheel/pedal combo

A joystick helps, but a wheel/pedal combination is highly recommended.

It not only helps, but its virtually essential IMO.  A decent joystick could
be a nice interim solution if money is tight, but the goal should always be
wheel/pedals for a racing sim...
