> What do you use for inputs?
If I understand your question correctly, I'm using a Thrustmaster NASCAR Pro
wheel/pedal set. It has a wheel with two buttons (very convenient for the
look left/right feature in GPL) and a sequential shifter. Plus two pedals
(only one wheel I know of has a clutch). It was about $90 a couple years
ago, and has held up decently well. It's not very precise, but you have to
get into the $500+ units to get some real quality stuff [ see
www.hyperstim.com ! ]. There are force-feedback wheels now, the idea of
which is to let you feel the road like in the Hard Drivin' arcade game, but
I have never used one. I question its ability to lower my lap times. I'd
rather be controlling the wheel, not fighting it.
Oh, James, how does a 1:29.5 in the Honda at Monza grab you? :) I don't
race Monza much, really, but I've a league race there this week so I've been
practicing.
