Can't tell if Joy2Key is "holding down" my keyboard key (K) for handbrake

[Tom Foolious]

When I'm at the starting line I hold my joystick back (my "handbrake") and my car starts going forward, but it's also not accelerating like the handbrake is not being held down.

When I use it during a rally it seems to work (though I'm just barely tuggin' it).

Anyone else using Joy2Key that can provide some input? Maybe I don't have it set right? I just have it set to K, I didn't use the auto-repeat option as I thought that would screw it up.

Maybe it is the toggle between on and off option. i use also joy2key, works fine for me.

That is off. I'm wondering if I'm just accelerating too much while using handbrake?? I'm giving full acceleration and sliding forward, which DOES make sense, but I don't remember that happening when I started playing last night / before I setup this joystick

I just tried using the original button that was used and getting the same result...so maybe I'm just giving too much gas at the starting line? This was tested in Gravel just now. What say you on this one?

EDIT: And once again this is just at teh starting line. I keep getting penalties for false start.

EDIT2: I have J2K set to the first key being K. When I hold my joystick back in Notepad, it prints 1 K, but no more. It seems that it IS holding the key down...idk I'm confused how to tell if the key is bneing held down or not.
