GP2-- Microsoft FF wheel question

by Jerry Furlon » Mon, 01 Mar 1999 04:00:00

Bought a MS FF wheel to use with GP2 and GPL.  All's well in GPL (except my
driving), but I can't figure out how to get GP2's Control Options menu to
recognize the paddle shifters on the back of the wheel.  It recognizes "fire
1" and "fire 2" on the front, so it's usable, but the paddle shifters are
the main reason I bought the thing in the first place.  Any help?

in the microsoft activator software, set one paddle up as "ALT" and the
other as "SPACE" keyboard keys.  then in GP2 select "ALT" and "SPACE" for
shifting.  i don't think you can configure it for split-axis for
brake/accelerate though.

IN the MSFF wheel setup you can change the buttons to use ALT and Space for the
fire buttons.
I can send you the file if you like.

Yes, split axis is available through the same activiator.

Hi there,

"fire

you have to configure an new profile in MS-Wheel Aktivator, just use the
"programmable-key-function" and let GP2 think, that the paddle shifters are
keyboard keys :)
works perfect here
