>Okay,  I've downloaded the demo, and unpatched, I was able to use a TSW2

>combined mode.  Then, in the game, it defaults to using the mouse as a
>control device, you have to hit the button on top of the control setup
>screen that says "wheel".  That automatically sets the accelerator and brake
>functions (steering as well).  You can assign button functions for shifting
>and looking left/right etc..  You can see that they are working because
>there is an indicator on screen that represents the wheel and moves left and
>right when you steer, and in the lower right corner a red and green bar will
>come up when you press the pedals.
