My MS FF wheel will not allow the paddles to be used for changing gear! have tried deleteing the pre-programmed commands but GPL still will not let me use them! The paddles worked ok in GP3! any ideas? thanks Paul

Go into your gpl options and set shift up to KP+ (key pad plus) and shift down to KP- then open the MS game controller, select a profile for gpl. Go to the "RECORDER" tab at the top of the page. The recorder allows you to assign wheel buttons and levers to whatever keyboard stroke you desire... just be sure to push the corresponding key to whatever you assigned it to in gpl. Its actually kinda handy after you get the hang of it.... good luck!

Use a standard, un-modified profile. Don't assign ANYTHING to the paddle buttons. Then, go into GPL, re-calibrate, and re-set the controls/buttons. I've been doing it forever this way. I run every sim I possible can under a "generic" template that basically only has split axis enabled, and I try to make all modifications in the game itself. Doesn't work for all games, but it cuts down on the number of profile changes I have to make, especially since Microsoft couldn't have _possibly_ made it any harder to do. -Larry "Paul" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9ksbrj$855$[email hidden]... > My MS FF wheel will not allow the paddles to be used for changing gear!have
