Native USB RS Shifter Support for GTR2002

For those of you who want to use your RS Shifter in the forthcoming GTR2002, Tom Grandgent has released a beta of the ALShift utility with native support. - Dave Here is a quote from the Act-Labs forum: "Hi everyone! I've been working on the shifter utility and have released a beta version with preliminary support for F1 2002 and NFS:HP2. You can download it here: http://www.grandgent.com/tom/alshift/ALShiftv22beta.zip Please try it with F1 2002 and NFS:HP2 if you have these games, and (here's the important part!) let me know if it works or doesn't work. If it doesn't work, let me know exactly what happened. You can email me at [email hidden] or reply to this post. Also feel free to let me know what other games you have that you want support for."

I've got the normal RS shifter as patr of my Force RS wheel, and was hoping that support was already there. Kendt

Hmmm. Not sure about that. Might be worth it to post that question on the Act-Labs board. - Dave

This option was in F1 2001 as well. It doesn't seem like it does anything. Who knows it might in F1 2003. But seeing how the RS Shifter is being discontinued, they may just make it support the GPL shifter or a generic one instead. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net http://karkrazy.m4driving.sm
