Keys for advanced controls

You can set keys for:

• Alovolt: Sets a key that simulates the pressing of left and right at the same time, which results in an alovolt.
• Brake alias: Sets an extra key to brake with. Pros use this cause some keyboards do not allow pressing the up and down arrows at the same time, so if you want to use the arrow keys, you need an extra brake key to accelerate and brake at the same time.
• Escape alias: Sets an extra Escape key, if you think Esc is too far away from your other Elma keys.
• Replay control keys: Lets you set several VCR-like keys to use when viewing replays.

Other options

• Lev packs: Use this to set up levpacks for easy handling of playing and stats for levels.
• Global options: Misc settings.
• Main menu: Choose which menu items that should appear in the main menu.
• Screen: Sets screen options like resolution and zoom factor.
• Navigator: Sets size and zoom of the minimap.
