Sorry I know this is a noob question but ive gotten a headache trying to figure this out again after I reinstalled LFS and lost my ingame settings. Basically before I could shift with paddle and stick without any problem. Now I am forced to choose one or the other in the wheel setup in game.

I know you assign a key to the opposite one on the windows profiler and then set that key under keyboard next to wheel key. However, I have set upshift to s and downshift to x and changed those for my stick yet it doesn't recognize the stick. Anything im missing here? The stick isnt broken because it works in place of the paddles as well.

Why would you want both?

I just use the \data\script folder to set either paddles or stick to change gears for each car where appropriate.

I like both because if i get caught in a spin where my paddles are not easy to reach I can very easily grab the stick to slam reverse or 1st to get off track without wasting time or causing an accident.
