Hello, Wow, that is really cool. Of course we can't release any info until things are officially announced by Papy. As a result, we cannot confirm this. In the meantime though, Shane, you have got to get one of those RS Shifters. Give me a call or e-mail me and I might be able to do something for you.

Its been posted a couple times, Shane.

sounds good Raymond ... i sent you an email with the info ... i think ... couldnt find your email address on the site btw here is the info from the readme DIRECTINPUT CHANGES Added support for up to 16 DirectInput buttons (instead of 4) and direct gear selection devices, such as the Act Labs RS Shifter. Any button can be assigned to a gear by adding the line 'GEARS X X X X' to the .ini file, where the four X values are replaced by the number of the button which will be used to shift to that gear. For example, to use the RS Shifter, the line would read 'GEARS 6 7 1 2' because the four shift positions on the shifter (in that order) replace the 6, 7, 1, and 2 buttons (in that order). This change can be used to specify buttons on any control device for direct shifting, not just on a dedicated shifter. Be careful not to specify buttons which are used for other controls, as the User Interface will not display any warnings. hope this is helpful for those with the RS shifter Shane db_wolf
