geez.. A and Z are pretty good keys.. NOT! why can't they make the ***y keyboard like it's supposed to be?!! How do I get the thing going? Acceleration doesn't work ( don't know how it works, the fastest I've done is 32 ). I mean why didn't they make it like Indy2? press up arrow and you're on your way dammit ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Support Chips.. nothing runs without us ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Get a joystick or steering wheel and your problem will be solved. -- Jagg Vancouver, Canada ***************************

All this is explained in the manual, so I don't really understand why you are having difficulties Anyway, hope this helps

You can't change the defauly keys. I mean, I haven't been able to find how to change the defauly keys. Nothing in the manual. I have an OLD thrustmaster Mark 1 power joystick. It emulates keyboard keys, but it is not fully configurable and none of the setting are using 'A' and 'Z'. So if you know how to change that, or if you know the manual page where to find the explanation, please let me know ! Or has anybody already made a patch for that ? Because I'm SURE I would drive minimum 5 seconds faster with that control ;-)) Mana
