Hi to all you lucky bastards out there,  I was just wondering if GP2 allowed you to configure the keyboard in
the same way GP1 did.  More specifically, can I set both upshift and downshift as "spacebar"+"a" or +"z" for up
& down ?  This I thought was a great feature of GP1, that other games have unfortunately not adopted

ie: need 4 speed.  great game, but I can't seem to get a good setup for downshifting.

Also, if anyone knows when GP2 will be out in Hong Kong???????? I know we're looking at a world release for
23rd (today), but believe it or not not one store I've been to has it yet.

Thanks in advance,  Steph.

U can save up to 8 control configurations.

...hopefully U get it soon...its just amazing :-)

I can't remember whether F1GP1 keyboard-controls were adjustable, but I can tell
you that you I got right into Grand Prix 2 because the key-combinations are
exactly the same as those I used for F1GP1.

gass:   q  + shift:     shift up
brake:  w  + shift:     shift down
right:  :
left:   ;

GP2 uses the same keyboard controls as GP1, A + space = gears up, Z +
space = gears down.

They keys aren't configurable and a MAJOR ( to me) downside, is that
when using the keyboard you keep locking the brakes as they are either
full on or off. My Interlagos times are all lost on corners because of
this :(

On Monza the brake lock is less of a problem because the braking
required is less dramatic.
