incredible sim.
Now on to the newbie question...
Does the ACT Lab shifter work with GPL? I now I can use the up/down mode but
what about all the gears?
Thanks,
Bob

Do I understand this? - to use the shifter I need:
- An ACT labs wheel ( I have a LWFF)
- Compatable Software ( My favorites are GP2, CMR and SCGT)
- $59.99 ( 36 in UK money)
Hmmm. Clearly they aren't marketing this at me - which is a
shame I guess, because I like the idea.
Surely a gearstick shuldn't be so complicated?

Actually, the RS Shifter uses regular button assignments for the gears and
should be easy to program into the game. For 5 speeds plus reverse, you'd
need to reassign 6 buttons. Gear up and gear down are 2, clutch is one,
raise hand is one. That's 4 out the 6 we need. Let's see, there must be a
couple more somewhere. You'd have to give up the stock button assignments,
but it could be done.

This is because, even if I can do button assignments for the
shifter, the software isn't programmed to respond to
requests for specific gears. Just "up one", "down one".
(As I said, I don't have the shifter, so I cannot test this
out)

I would like to state again that the shifter is fun to use, always, not just
in free shifting mode but also as a regular shifter. That's why I also added
it to the Ferrari and LWFF wheels. So anyone that's waiting to buy it
because their favorite game doesn't support free shifting, don't wait. You
don't have to use free shifting to enjoy it.
