Control sets for GPL

Just got GPL from Sold Out, and I can't seem to find any control set files: Am I trying to "re-invent the wheel"?

Yeah... A rather uncomfortable process. I'm not sure I've got the steering correct or the shifter right. (TM2) GP2/3 have control sets for various wheels, so teaching the thing which your wheel set is, is obviated.

Really? I've always wondered why everyone didn't do the same as Papyrus with GPl etc. and controller setup. GP2/3 seems awful in comparison. Plus you can have a number of controllers and GPL just copes with them and use whichever axis you wish. The main thing to get right is the linearity. About 1/5th in from the left feels about right for most. I'd recommend the '65 mod as they will be a bit more controllable and have an improved tyre model over the original. Then drive a real Ferrari F1 and practise some throttle control - not these modern computerised aero packages they call cars these days :) Cheers Tony
