Bad KeyBindings in 1.4 Racing Demo

Ok, I downloaded the official 1.4 SDK and found a problem. More of an oversight than a bug really. This applies to the "Racing Demo" included with the "Torque Game Engine Demo" but not in the "Racing Starter Kit".

Basically the keybindings are bad. You have standard FPS "W,S,A,D" keybindings. Unfortunetly "turn left" and "turn right" aren't bound to anything so the car can't turn. I would suggest copying the correct bindings from the "Racing Starter Kit".

This isn't a big deal except it's in a demo, and thats not a good way to convince prospective buyers :-(

I don't think starter.racing does keyboard steering. You use the mouse to steer and WS to control your throttle/brake.

Oops, mouse does work. The keyboard works in the one but not the other, simply cuz of the bindings...

Sorry.

Arrow keys work there for some reason. :)
