Hello,

Wow, that is really cool.  Of course we can't release any info until
things are officially announced by Papy.  As a result, we cannot
confirm this.
In the meantime though, Shane, you have got to get one of those RS
Shifters.  Give me a call or e-mail me and I might be able to do
something for you.

sounds good Raymond ... i sent you an email with the info ... i think ...
couldnt find your email address on the site

btw here is the info from the readme

DIRECTINPUT CHANGES

Added support for up to 16 DirectInput buttons (instead of 4) and direct
gear selection devices, such as the Act Labs RS Shifter.  Any button can be
assigned to a gear by adding the line 'GEARS X X X X' to the .ini file,
where the four X values are replaced by the number of the button which will
be used to shift to that gear.  For example, to use the RS Shifter, the line
would read 'GEARS 6 7 1 2' because the four shift positions on the shifter
(in that order) replace the 6, 7, 1, and 2 buttons (in that order).  This
change can be used to specify buttons on any control device for direct
shifting, not just on a dedicated shifter.  Be careful not to specify
buttons which are used for other controls, as the User Interface will not
display any warnings.

hope this is helpful for those with the RS shifter
