My current setup is a virtual pilot flight yoke from CH products for steering and home made pedals. This setting is just not comparable to joystick, it's a lot more efficient and realistic for road circuits. The virtual pilot is ~ $(CAN)100. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- - _/_/ _/ _/ _/_/ | Martin Guillemette - - _/ _/ _/ _/_/_/ _/ _/_/ | Montreal, Quebec, Canada - - _/ _/ _/ _/ _/_/ | =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= - -----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, and most definitely worth it! You can purchase the Thrustmaster T1, which has pedals for gas and brakes, as well as a "gear shift" and buttons for shifting, all of which can be configured. You can obtain the T1 from Chips & Bits for $111.00 plus S&H, and if they are out, you can get it from Computer Express for $111.00 plus S&H. The telephone numbers are 1-800-699-4263 and 1-800-228-7449 respectively. +=================================================================+ | Robert Berryhill - Scarecrow from Wizard of Oz| | Plano, Tx or was that Congress? | +=================================================================+
