you are lucky, i would like to be able to take my bike ;(

Yes, i know but i wanted a fast-patch (only to get the game working)
After some DInput expert (you in this case) would be able to "enhance" it ;)

I started by that but as the only strigs are dinput static strings...

maybe i have forgotten it ;)
