This may be a stupid question but I can't figure it out, it's about these keys:
F1-F8, CTRL-(F1-F8) customizable message shortcuts

Where and how do you customize them?
I've looked at the Wiki manual, messed around in the sim and looked through the config files but I can't find where to change the messages.
Sorry if I missed something obvious. Thanks.

Crap. Just after posting this I went back into the game and OF COURSE I found it right away. Silly me.

Disregard.

Maybe you could post their location anyone so anyone who also seeks the same information won't feel like an idiot by having to post in this thread.

would appreciate the answer also

Excellent point and it is also a comforting thought that I might not be all alone in this

The customizable messages are in Options, under Game, click the tab next to AI Driver names.

thanks!

A related question: is there a tool out there which allows you to map the quick messages to your wheel buttons?

Because if there isn't I might give you mine, which even lets you keep your LFS button settings at the same time. So you can press the horn, and say 'GO GO GO you noob!!!!' instantly. Insane!
But seriously I did this tool, because some arrogant aliens started banning me when I didn't say sorry in 0.5 secs. My keyboard is far away when I drive, so this is probably only a problem for me. And I didn't want to lose any wheel buttons to the messages.

There are some utilities out there like joy2key that will let you map a joystick (wheel) button to a key press. You could assign your buttons to the appropriate F-key and that should do it.
