Ok, getting to the buisness at hand...I was able to install the warez version from Neils site. I deleted the appropriate config and sav files so gp4 would start from scratch. For some reason now, it's more difficult to set up my Microsoft Sidewinder (Non-FF) wheel and pedals. The interesting bug is that immediately after successfull set up and calibration, the mouse pointer is starts behaving strangely. When ever you move the mouse it causes flickering on menu selections that aren't near the pointer. The mouse is a Microsoft optical wheel mouse. I am not using the intelipoint software that came with it. It's just an annoyance really. Now I have to see if things are better in game. Oh, the problem with disabling skymessages (which is nice) is you can no longer check PO. Oh well.
Any ideas on the flickering anyone???
