Hi!

One thing I missed in the demo, and sadly it didn't change with
the final sim: you can't use the paddles on the TM GP1 to shift
gears! This is quite a surprise, esp. as this was possible in
ALL the Papyrus sims up to now...

I use the CH pedals with my GP1 so I can use the wheel paddle for a clutch. It
works great in GPL.

That's not really helping. Look, this doesn't work, but this does! ;^)

I'd rather loose the clutch, but be able to shift with the paddles.

I'm sorry ronny, I didn't mean to***you off, I was just trying to point out
a different use for the paddles. I'm sure you knew about that already...

Keep the revs up!

Ooops, did my reply sound like I'm pissed off?? No, really, I'm not! ;^)
(check the smiley)

I was just restating, how much I MISS the old Papy feature of switching
gears with
a joystick axis.

I will, the Ferrari just screams so nice...

Can you use the buttons on the TM GP1 to change gears?

Luckily, no developer has problems with supporting joystick buttons!!!
;^)
Yes, it works, although reaching those buttons is quite uncomfortable
compared to using the paddles! Hello, Papy, you're listening...?
