Hi to all you lucky bastards out there, I was just wondering if GP2 allowed you to configure the keyboard in
the same way GP1 did. More specifically, can I set both upshift and downshift as "spacebar"+"a" or +"z" for up
& down ? This I thought was a great feature of GP1, that other games have unfortunately not adopted

ie: need 4 speed. great game, but I can't seem to get a good setup for downshifting.

Also, if anyone knows when GP2 will be out in Hong Kong???????? I know we're looking at a world release for
23rd (today), but believe it or not not one store I've been to has it yet.

Thanks in advance, Steph.

yep...a+space for changing up and space without a to change
down...it´s highly configurable. IMHO the controls R even better than
thoso of f1gp

U can save up to 8 control configurations.

...hopefully U get it soon...it´s just amazing :-)

I can't remember whether F1GP1 keyboard-controls were adjustable, but I can tell
you that you I got right into Grand Prix 2 because the key-combinations are
exactly the same as those I used for F1GP1.

brake: w + shift: shift down

GP2 uses the same keyboard controls as GP1, A + space = gears up, Z +
space = gears down.

They keys aren't configurable and a MAJOR ( to me) downside, is that
when using the keyboard you keep locking the brakes as they are either
full on or off. My Interlagos times are all lost on corners because of
this :(

On Monza the brake lock is less of a problem because the braking
required is less dramatic.

The keys ARE configurable, at least that's what I read in the manual;
you have to ad some parameters at startup, check your manual...

Those are the keys for use in menus. I don't think they changes the
driving keys...

Don't you hate when someone bumps a thread from 1996?
