GP2 - Steering help problem

9 posts by 7 people · 26 Jul 1996 - 01 Aug 1996

Hi all, I can't seem to disable steering help. I use the keyboard and the steering help seems to be selected, but I cannot deselect it or anything else on that particular options panel. The buttons don't seem to be enabled, is it for joystick only ? Weird, or am I forgetting something ? PS: Gotta return to my race, poor jean Alesi, oil problem on lap 8, took him/me from 1st to 22nd, back to 3rd on lap 18, but bad pit stop....Damn, I gotta do it all over again ! ;-) This game is magnificent !

>>I can't seem to disable steering help. I use the keyboard and the steering >>help seems to be selected, but I cannot deselect it In the Control Method/Advanced Menu, you see that list of control options (Keyboard, Joystick, Custom Set 1, Custom Set 2, Custom Set 3, Custom Set 4)? Click on one of the Custom Set buttons and you can then customize the keyboard map whichever way you want, including disabling steering help. You're not alone. I was mystified at the Advanced Menu too, trying to disable steering help for my joystick. -- +------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | G.

Tried this and it doesn't work! The only way I can disable the steering help at all is to select one of the control 'not used' boxes and select joystick from the drop down menu in the steering section, the otions are then lit up. I cannot disable the steering help at all if keys are selected. Given that Geoff Crammond spent five years developing this prog I would have thought he could have at least got the control options spot on. He must have spent four and a half years down the pub and six months knocking up what is turning out to be a half baked sim. I'm still enjoy it but it is annoying that some of the good features of FGP1 have been discarded, it's a shame. Regards Dave -- ("'\-/'").___..--''"-._ ( 0_ 0 ) -.

Keyboard steering requires steering help, AFAIK you cannot deselect it. The only answer is to get yourself a joystick or even better a wheel and pedals. I don't remember being able to deselect steering help with the keyboard in F1GP either. -- Suck The Goat
What if we are using a joystick, and it won't let us deselect the option anyway?? Thanks, Scott -- I have seen the enemy, and it is my registry...

Mmmm. How hard have you tried? Did you select Control Options from the main menu, then try selecting Custom1 make the appropraite settings for analogue steering and uncheck the steering help and opposite lock boxes. -- Suck The Goat

For those keyboard and joystick users that wish to deselect steering help, go to the Control Method Advanced Menu and click on Custom Set 1. That will allow you to do all the control method tweaking you want. Remember to save your control setup afterwards! -- +------------------+--------------------------------------------+ | G.
