PC Specific Changes

General
� Added support for Xinput wheel and Logitech Rumblepad 2, including default action map configurations.
� Adding ability to use H-pattern shifter in custom configuration by allowing configuration of gears 1 to 6 and reverse. Same for boost.
� Fix for missing Force feedback on Vista.
� Added the ability to override the controller type, so that if the game fails to auto-detect it, users can specify it themselves.
o Symptoms of the game failing to detect the appropriate controller type are:
? On a pad, handling is too twitchy, appears to steer �lock-to-lock�.
? On a wheel, the input lags and the linearity slider doesn�t appear to have an effect.
o To override controller type, find the hardware_settings_config.xml that is generated when the game is run (should be in My DocumentsCodemastersGRIDhardwaresettings) and change the line that reads to either as appropriate for your controller.

� Network chat text made less obtrusive.
