Title: Thanks for those memories
Thanks for doing some grave digging and play these games. I've spent hundred (if not thousands) of hours playing the GP series and GP2 had been a marvel for me when it got out.
I'm following your tutorial and reinstalled the game, sadly I haven't been able to correctly calibrate my wheel (G27), I have sort of a dead zone in the middle that make it unusable. (3O° around the middle, GP2 doesn't see any movement). And GP2 cannot see the shift paddles as it can only use the first two buttons of a peripheral.
Too bad, your videos really made me want to do a full season. I consoled myself by reading the manual... :)
