I don't have one install in each game folder. I have one install, and several shortcuts, each of them specifying a configuration file.
There are two ways of directly launching an exe:
- putting it in the commande line
- using commands at the end of the configuration file.
I use the first option, meaning the shortcut for GP2 contains:
"D:\Jeux\DOSBox ECE r4432\DOSBox.exe" -conf "D:\Jeux\GP2\dosbox-ECE.conf" "D:\Jeux\GP2\GP2.exe"
Which wheel are you using ? To be able to use mine (logitech G27) in GP2, I left accelerator and brake uncombined, and once the game is launched, had to remap the axes in Dosbox: CTRL-F1, then click on each axis (Axis 1/2 (Controller1) and 3/4 (Controller2) section) to assign the axis of my wheel to an axis in Dosbox. I put the Wheel on Axis1/2 : X, throttle on Axis3/4: Y+ and brake on Axis3/4: X+.
Be sure to remove what is assigned by default on axes you won't use. (must be grayed out)
Then configure GP2 to use the correct axes, and calibrate controls.
It works when combining throttle and accelerator too, but you won't be able to brake and accelerate at the same time in the game in this case.

I had time this week-end so I started a new season on F1GP, 100%race, no help. I was a bit of a surprise, I had no real competition during the race: i won with 1'10 advance on the second, despite half a dozen spins when overtaking backmarkers and a broken wing thanks to my teammate blocking me from overtaking him the second time.
(and this, despite using the default setup and my absolute fear in the two high speed turns (7/8) in which I was at least 20-30kph below the AI speed.)
Hope the competition will be fiercer in Brazil, it was a blast to play.
When playing, I realized that the sounds ingame where much more agressive (engine and tyre sounds) than what PWM seems to get in his youtube videos. I'm wondering if there's a way to emulate a different sound card to get a better noise ?
edit : forget the last question: it's an issue with F1GP version: V1.03 vs V1.05.
