shifting up? Left or right? We are just setting up a GTR2 simulation on a
computer with a Logitech steering wheel that has paddle shift and have to
decide which side to allocate up and which side down.
Thanks..
Thanks..

This shows a Ferrari with the DOWN on the left. I am assuming that UP would
be on the right.

Shift down on the left. Up on the right.
For using a sequential 'back/forward' shifter it is pull towards
yourself to shift up, push away to shift down.
Anyone that doesn't shift this way is a freak and should be socially
avoided. Full stop. End of discussion.

I couldn't conceive using the right for shifting down and the left for
shifting up.
I don't understand you question about "what side of the column...." If you
mean the actual column (the gear-shifter, that is) on an actual car, then
there's no logical transference from there to the paddles on a computer
racing wheel.
But for a person who is right-handed and views the world as a right-hander,
right is always up and left is always down, the exact opposite of my
political views.

I ain't talking to you no more.

P.S. http://youtube.com/watch?v=8w7FpDU7b2w
P.P.S. I'd think that real life drivers do it this way is due to the
positive and negative Gs under accel and decel - pull when positive,
push when negative. Just a guess. Hey, I'm not talking to you!

Right = up and left = down.
For sequential lever; back = up and forward = down.
BUT just about every road car tiptronic box is set the other way - up
push forward, down pull back.
So this thread should have some form of disclaimer :)

F1 regs require the driver to initiate the shift; the shift is actually done
by the hydraulics and computers. It can refuse to shift if it would be
outside parameters (too fast for the lower gear), and it can retry the shift
repeatedly if it fails to engage, but it can't choose its own timing. It
also won't cue the downshift for later; it can only shift, or not shift.
IMO, auto-shift is sub-optimal and just makes for surprises. It might not be
so bad with traction control and ABS, but that's not driving an F1 car. All
3 technologies are verboten by their rules.
