Just got GPL...question about steering wheel

Hi All, After reading the reviews here for a year I went out and bought it. I really like the physics, hard as hell :) One problem though, I can't assign the shift paddles from my microsoft FF USB wheel to the game. I searched deja for info, but there is so much I couldn't sort it well to narrow it down. If anyone has a hint I would appreciate it. Also, on the use of the clutch...how do most of you set it up? Do you have to set it up? Thanks, Ron.

Thanks for the response, I fixed the steering wheel. I had to set it as the first controller. The buttons simply were too highly numbered and GPL couldn't see them. I wish I had another pedal so I could use it as a clutch, but it seems that it really isn't needed. I had downloaded the original demo before the game was released and wasn't impressed by it. Then again I didn't have steering wheel back then either. Anyway, I never bought the game because of the demo. Wish I had, it is really a blast. Any chance Papyrus is going to do a sequel ever? You would think their Nascar titles would keep enough money coming in to do something cool like GPL 2. Thanks, Ron. In article <UAxb6.6921$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] says...
