Hi all, OK, start laughing all you want BUT... I can't figure out how to adjust the fuel level while I'm jacked up in the pits. I got the game a couple of days ago. Oh, sure I can get those blinking cursors on the blinking damm thing and then hit the blinking Spacebar which brings up the blinking 12 laps that appears to be stock, but those darn plus and minus signs seem to be out of my blinking reach. AAARRGGHHHHH. I've tried, as per the Manual, the A key, the Z key, the < & > keys and nothing happens. Just those 12 measley fuel laps blinking away, taunting me. Plus key, Minus key, I've tried em ALL! My controls are as follows: Joystick, Gravis Blackhawk(4-button & throttle). Steering is Horizontal Axis, Gas is button 1, brake is button 2. Clutch/Selector is Spacebar. Downgear is Alt key. Anyone gotta witty answer for me? That contains a solution? Easy to decipher? Thanks in advance, Stuck on 12 laps, Wire ps: Just when you've stopped giggling, here's another question: How do I go about changing tire compounds? Yes, yes I can see the laps I've put on a set. Is each set in the list "secretly' marked somehow? What a ***er I am :-O

I think in the '94 season, all teams were constrained to use the same tyres, including the same compound for each particular race. I think the compound changed from race to race but I'm not sure who decided what was to be used. Have fun ! Andy

Ahaaaa! if you are using another steering device other than the keyboard, the steering device will change the amount of fuel on board? Just select the 12 laps then use your joystick to change the number of laps worth of fuel. Easy peesy..... 8-) *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterix to e-mail)
