Hey all! I was wondering how to set up my Sequential Gear shifter on my thrustmaster wheel.. specifically for Rally Racing. Does anyone know which way rally cars are set up? Specifically, do they push forward for the next gear, or do they pull towards them for the next gear? For some reason, I thought I saw Colin Mcrae on speedvision pushing forward to go to the next gear (exe 3->4 ), but my friend thinks it's the opposite. Any help? thanks -- Mike Beauchamp http://mikebeauchamp.com

If it's powered, it'll be F1-style paddles or buttons. I've seen both configurations used, unfortunately. Right-for-up and left-for-down seems standardised, but not push-pull :-( Jonny
