GPL doesn't start from BOX area

Hi folks, installed GPL (new NicePrice Release) and update with Patch 1.20 for FFB features. I assume my Setup is quite ok (using automatic gear shift), but when I start Training my car is on the box, but I can't get it started anyway. Trie every key on the keyboard but didn't help I'm just missing the tricka thing - anybody knows how to get started? Regards Markus

Have you set up your controller properly within GPL? -- - JKo -

I'm using my Guillemot FFB wheel and setup seems to be quite ok :-(

You need to calibrate your controller in gpl as well as in windows. You also need to assign an axis/button for each control. There is no 'engine start' key in gpl, if your revs are zero, it's because you've blown the engine. Press shift-R to reset the car if that's the case. When you get into the car, just put it in first gear, push the gas and the car will start moving. Malc.

Does windows detect the wheel properly? Go to controlpanel/game controllers/properties and test it. And No, the engine will not blow immediately. Greetings Johan N

Actually, it may... There I was, on the starting grid at Monza... revved up to the redline ONCE... and saw rods flying all over the place in my mirrors, within 2 tenths of a second! Boy was I surprised! :)

even with auto gears I'm not sure gpl does "neutral-1st" by itself, you might have to assign a key in the menu for "upshift" and use it once.... -- The first ever pinball ezboard !! http://pub7.ezboard.com/bpinball SYS80 : BLK HOLE - HNTD HSE - SPRIT - VOLCNO - PNK PNTHER - DEVLS DARE - RYL FLSH DLX - SPDERMAN - CHRLIE'S NGELS - TX SCTOR - MRS GOW - RBO WARS BALLY : XENN - EGHT BLL - EGHT BLL CHMP - PACMN - SPKEASY 4 - STRKES N SPRES - SPCE INVDERS - FTRE SPA - LADY LCK - PRAGON WILLIAMS : BLCKOUT - CNTACT - ADDMS FAMLY "Markus Breiter" <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message de news: b1l7hv$rnb$[email hidden]... > Hi folks, > > installed GPL (new NicePrice Release) and update with Patch 1.20 for FFB > features. > I assume my Setup is quite ok (using automatic gear shift), but > > when I start Training my car is on the box, but I can't get it started > anyway. > Trie every key on the keyboard but didn't help > > I'm just missing the tricka thing - anybody knows how to get started? > > Regards Markus > >

Thanx TXL, I did and used lot of switches - including my FFB wheel Gear Shift, the boy in the car also shifted gear, but ... nothing worked. Car didn't run. Trying some other keys tonight. Regards Markus "Txl" <txl AT free.fr> wrote in message news:3e3f7128$0$250$[email hidden]...

mange Tak Johan using Thrustmapper I see the wheel works pretty fine. Also using it for my favourite CMR2 and it works quite excellent.

if the guy in the car "shifted" that means you have the clutch "all the time" so check which key/axis is the clutch on your config, probably you have the clutch and the throttle (gaspedal) on the same axis, put the clutch on a key, say Z for example and give it a try....
