GPL - shifting gears

Hi! One thing I missed in the demo, and sadly it didn't change with the final sim: you can't use the paddles on the TM GP1 to shift gears! This is quite a surprise, esp. as this was possible in ALL the Papyrus sims up to now... l8er ronny

I use the CH pedals with my GP1 so I can use the wheel paddle for a clutch. It works great in GPL. -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caracciola

That's not really helping. Look, this doesn't work, but this does! ;^) I'd rather loose the clutch, but be able to shift with the paddles. l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm> |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

I'm sorry ronny, I didn't mean to***you off, I was just trying to point out a different use for the paddles. I'm sure you knew about that already... Keep the revs up! -don "To race is to live, everything else is just waiting." - Rudi Caracciola

I'm sure you knew about that already... Ooops, did my reply sound like I'm pissed off?? No, really, I'm not! ;^) (check the smiley) I was just restating, how much I MISS the old Papy feature of switching gears with a joystick axis. I will, the Ferrari just screams so nice... l8er ronny -- How to get rid of censorship in German game releases <http://www.gamesmania.com/german/maniac/freedom/freedom.htm |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

Can you use the buttons on the TM GP1 to change gears? CB

> Can you use the buttons on the TM GP1 to change gears? Luckily, no developer has problems with supporting joystick buttons!!! ;^) Yes, it works, although reaching those buttons is quite uncomfortable compared to using the paddles!
