GP4 - Gear/Throttle Link?

Anyone know how to switch this to off? Thanks Iain -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =-----

> Anyone know how to switch this to off? I dont know how to get it to say it's off, but if you create your own profile and then edit the gear up/down buttons, you can certainly drop gears while accelerating and vice versa. steve

If you select separate buttons for upshifting and downshifting it should turn off automatically. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> "Iain Mackenzie" <g> wrote in message news:3d3fa1e9$[email hidden]... > Anyone know how to switch this to off? > > Thanks > > Iain > > > > > -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- > http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! > -----== Over 80,000 Newsgroups - 16 Different Servers! =-----

Thanks Ian. I know that is what should happen - it was the same in GP3, BUT it doesn't for me. In the menu screen it changes to off when selecting different buttons, but if I go out of the menu and back in, the link is back on. This makes it really difficult to change down quickly. It's the biggest gripe I have with the GP series and GP4 is no different. There must b a way to force the link to be off. Any editors out there?

I have a MSFF and mapped my shift buttons to "space bar" and "shift key" that way it sees the shifting as a keyboard presses and then it removes the link. It helps some, but your down shifting is still resticted by engine rpm (i guess so you don't over rev your motor. "Iain Mackenzie" <g> wrote in message news:3d40ec81$[email hidden]... > Thanks Ian.

Don't understand. Do you mean you don't use the wheel buttons for gear shifting?

Yes I use the wheel buttons. I use the software that came with the wheel(sidewinder) to program the buttons to be the equivalent of a keyboard press instead of a joystick button. "Iain Mackenzie" <g> wrote in message news:3d41b9fd$[email hidden]...

That's what I thought, so what do you mean then when you say you assigned your shifts to 'space bar' and 'shift key'?

In the GP4 controller setup they only give you a choice of "space" or "shift" keys for keyboard use for changing gears. What type of controller are you using? If you are using either microsoft wheels I can email you some screen shots of my setup. I program 2 buttons on the wheel to emulate a "space" and "shift" key press using the sidewinder software that comes with the wheel. "Iain Mackenzie" <g> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

OK, now I understand. It's the sidewinder mapping software.
