Just select the config file from the GP2 CD called T2.CON .. then it
should work fine - works great for me!  

The T-2 makes GP2 a whole different game ...

hello...
i added a 1/2" square switch with hot melt glue on the back of the wheel
spokes. the switchs are actuated by my middle fingers.i used a light
coiled wire to run from the wheel to inside the console and spliced the
wires to the existing shifter wires. once you've figured out how to go
about it, it only takes about a half hour and can be done for about $10.
it,s been working well for me for the past couple of months since i
built it.

I bought two industrial grade momentary button switches and mounted them
facing backwards through the middle spoke holes on the 3 and 9 sides of
the wheel.  That way, I can use the buttons as 'paddles'.  The feel is
great.  All I do is lap Talladega in an Indycar with it.  OK, I drive at
Monza and Imola too.  Try the paddle buttons.  You will LOVE IT.
