NR2002 Function Keys

Just starting to get into NR2002. Reading through the manual, there a lot of function key actions, such as Tire Temps, Fuel, Session Info, Tire Change, Pit Strategy, etc. My question is, how does everyone handle these? I can't fathom that you reach for a function key in the midst of the race. I know that I've got to keep both hands firmly on the wheel! ...And I don't think that everyone has enough buttons on their wheel to map each function key to. So, do most people use something like Game Commander? (ie - voice control) If so, is there a downloadable command set for NR2002 somewhere? If not, what function key commands do you use most during a race? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Bert

I tried a game commander thing - but I found it a bit innacurate and I spent more time thinking about what I should be saying. I just use the F keys - you get used to it. Doug

the F# keys are not a problem for me. I can feel those pretty good. It's the guys that press T and then actually type out sentences that I don't get. People talking to me when I am running laps or racing drives me crazy. "BRH @attbi.com>" <"bertrh<no-spam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Check out NRAssistant (its free). I use it to auto switch my desktop from 32 bit to 16 bit before starting N2002. It has a configuration to modify the F* buttons and it looks like a way to page through them. I haven't tried but it looks like you could have one button on your wheel page through all F* keys. Sorry, can't find a link. Russell

I have the Logitech Momo wheel wit h6 buttons so I map the main F keys to that. Main one I use on wheel are F1, F2, F3, F5 Space Bar to toggle items. I also just picked up the Belkin Nostromo for additional keys for the autochat. http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=&Section_Id=2 071&pcount=&Product_Id=107727&Section.Section_Path=//Root/Nostromo...ingTool s/ "BRH @attbi.com>" <"bertrh<no-spam> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Game Commander here. Used it since it came out, highly recommend it. John >

Game Commander is awesome!! I never reach for the keyboard when racing, unless I'm chatting under caution. :-) -- -Paul My e-mail address is false. Please reply to this news group.

John, What specific commands do you have mapped through Game Commander? Is there a command set that's downloadable somewhere? (Or would you bewilling to share yours....?) 8-) Bert John Pancoast wrote:

Am I understanding this? I have a ECCI CDS5000 with 4 buttons. The two outer buttons I use for up/down shifting. Could I program one inner button to scroll through FKey menus, and the other button to select the FKey I want? Schooner wrote:
