   Hi all,

I can't seem to disable steering help. I use the keyboard and the steering
help seems to be selected, but I cannot deselect it or anything else on
that particular options panel. The buttons don't seem to be enabled, is it
for joystick only ? Weird, or am I forgetting something ?

PS: Gotta return to my race, poor jean Alesi, oil problem on lap 8, took
him/me from 1st to 22nd, back to 3rd on lap 18, but bad pit stop....Damn,
I gotta do it all over again ! ;-) This game is magnificent !

ta.

You're not alone.  I was mystified at the Advanced Menu too, trying to disable
steering help for my joystick.

Tried this and it doesn't work!

The only way I can disable the steering help at all is to select one of
the control 'not used' boxes and select joystick from the drop down menu
in the steering section, the otions are then lit up. I cannot disable
the steering help at all if keys are selected.

Given that Geoff Crammond spent five years developing this prog I would
have thought he could have at least got the control options spot on.
He must have spent four and a half years down the pub and six months
knocking up what is turning out to be a half baked sim.

I'm still enjoy it but it is annoying that some of the good features of
FGP1 have been discarded, it's a shame.

Regards
Dave

Keyboard steering requires steering help, AFAIK you cannot deselect it.
The only answer is to get yourself a joystick or even better a wheel and
pedals.

I don't remember being able to deselect steering help with the keyboard
in F1GP either.

What if we are using a joystick, and it won't let us deselect the option
anyway??

Thanks,

Scott

Remember to save your control setup afterwards!
