According to the readme file: "Controls for the Race Driver 2 Demo can be set by selecting 'Driving Setup' on the 'Series Options' screen in the front end." I cannot select this option. When I start the game up the only choices I have are to race or to quit, the options are not selectable. Anybody know what the problem is?
Well, as they, say if all else fails you may as well just try it. If you follow the menus through you will eventually arrive at a screen where the Driving Setup will be offered.

Ok, here is what you select to setup a controller: Simulator Modes Free Race Select a Difficulty Select a Championship (the series you want to drive) Select a Track (there's one available for each of the 3 series in the demo) Select Driving Setup once you've set the Session Options Select Control Assignments Assign your Controls -- this is kinda fiddly in the demo, a lot of people say it won't recognize their wheel axis, you may have to actually turn the wheel slightly in the wrong direction then turn it back in order for it to detect movement - I have no idea why Click on Advanced to adjust controller sensitivity and deadzone Change Simulation to Pro-Simulation Change Pad to Wheel (or not, imho it drives like a tractor trailer set to Pad) Play the Game
Well they really buried that one deep in the menus. Having to go all the way to the start of the race before you can change control setup is just dumb. On top of that, it doesn't save your control settings, you have to redo them every time. Lame.

Yes that's a demo thing, same with CMR04 demo but the full game saves it. -- Remove only one zero to reply.

you mean there is no GLOBAL wheel calibration/assignments? Good golly isn't that rather backward and time consuming.(sorry for the strong language) dave henrie

In the final version I'm guessing all of the driving setup stuff will be in the options menu. Jason

Has anyone been able to get anti-aliasing working in the demo? I was trying to take some screen shots for a friend. I've got an ATI Radeon 9800XT with driver ver. 6.14.10.6404 and setting DirectX for either 'Application Preference' or directly specifying 4X AA doesn't work. The cars still come out jagged. I couldn't find any game *.ini file or registry key to specify what's used, but I might have missed it. Also tried the OpenGL settings, just in case, but as expected that didn't make any difference. ...Klinn

Check out Codemasters forums, this has been discussed at length. Basically Codies coders don't support AA, some people have said it works others not. I have a 9800 Pro and the demo crashes with AA.
