Problems with steering (demo)

[arrow136]

I haven't got a steering wheel yet, and I drive with the keyboard.

The problem is : when I push the <- button, the car turn a second after my push on that button.

Can i configure that ??

Sorry to state the obvious, but I very much doubt you'll get much enjoyment out of GTR 2 (being the demo or not) when using keyboard instead of a wheel setup.
I started off trying to use a combination of joystick (for steering) and keys (for accell/brake & gears) and it was kind of workable in Semi-Pro difficulty but you really need pedals to get the most out of the game and play it on Simulation with traction control off.

If you're looking for a cheap(ish) wheel then I'd recommend ebuyer.co.uk:

But if you're willing to splash out then the most popular wheel (and arguably best) seems to be the Logitech Driving Force Pro. If you're willing to splash out for one of them then see this thread. It's not officially supported on the PC but there are drivers available which I'm assured make it work perfectly with windows XP (mine is to be delivered tomorrow). See that thread for full info and driver link.

Hope that helps and if not hope you're able to enjoy the game with keys if someone with more intelligence knows of a way

a whole other question, can you unlock racetracks in the demo ?

You can unlock the other cars in the demo (550, Saleen etc) and you can add some tracks that have been converted from GTL or something else.
Check RSCnet for more info about that. I haven't tried it myself yet (the whole demo even), but it is possible.

Then when you finally get on RSC and it has loaded up the page,  GTR2 will already have been released.

If you're using the keyboard you might want to look at the digital steering and so on rates in the controller options. You might find these help the keys respond faster.

I've set sensitive steering at 10 procent ...

[Simon Gymer]

You might want to try increasing the speed senisitivity and other keyboard sensitivity options in game to see if it reacts to things more quickly (more sensitive) like that. I would hazard a guess that nearly everyone here is a wheel/pedal user so these are just guesses (including me).

Hope it helps.

P.S. When you have enough money for a wheel/pedal a great wheel is the Logitech Driving Force Pro. For the price you can't beat it. I think I got mine for something like £55. Anything better and you're talking silly money (£300 for pedals alone).
