Race wheel wait

3 posts by 3 people · 05 Nov 1998 - 05 Nov 1998

Hi! I'm waiting for my MS Force Feedback Wheel to arrive. Until then I'm using the keyboard, which is a real challenge but hardly rewarding. At the Glen I have a similar hot lap, 1:37. It's very hard to take the corners without a wheel. On the other hand I recall a posting in this newsgroup stating 1:06 with no driving aids, just the keyboard..... /Henrik

Playing with the keyboard is horrible, I tried it earlier today, as my joystick has given up the ghost. I honestly dont know how you can play GPL with just on/off controls. Time to save up for a wheel I suppose.
