Anyway...
Great work with Outrun, Howard. I'm a big fan of Sega arcade racing games in general and this one is towards the top of the list. I do have a couple of questions that have been bothering me for quite a while, especially since I play this game alot. I made a 'loosely arcade inspired' cockpit not long back which has things like a Daytona USA Ketz shifter, my own mock up of the Daytona VR button panel (Basic at best, but it works), and a sequential shifter for games that use more than the 4 gears provided by the Ketz H shifter. Since all these toys use separate USB ports, I have never managed to get them to play nice with Outrun 2 but made do with using Automatic gears (My wheel doesn't have paddles). I see in your FXT config that you can set overrides and joystick ID's etc, but regardless of how I set them, Outrun 2 only works with one input device at a time. Any advice would be appreciated, as I've hit a brick wall as far as my own ideas go!
The second question isn't really important, but since I'm here typing this, I may aswell ask;
I have triple monitors which I generally use to play Outrun. Since your FXT hack/mod, I've noticed that the menus actually scale on the centre screen. This is great because I can actually read them now, rather than having them stretched across all 3 monitors. The game itself looks lovely on the 3 screens, apart from the HUD. It's still playable and fun, I just wondered if there was a way to scale the HUD? I'm running the game at 11520x2160 (nVidia Surround).
Thanks again for all the great work, love it.
