CPR and joysticks?

I have been trying to read every post on the new CPR and steering problems...., If I missed this I am sorry, but: I am using a Microsoft SideWinder 3D Pro joystick, and having a hard time controling the car down the straights. I have played with the steering help, as well as the "stay on track" and "stay on line" options. The "stay on" options seem to help, but, with them off, I cant stay on the track! It would seem to me that Microsoft would like to have their sim playable with their own hardware! Any suggestions? If there is a trick, I would appreciate knowing it. If not, I would suggest that the sim needs some modification before release. Just my $.02 worth! Oh, THANKS for the Demo! I'd love to love your sim!

I use the Sidewinder 3D pro and have no problem keeping it on the track. A couple of things to check: 1) Look at the Controls dialog & try adjusting the sliders. Be sure you have your controller configured as Joystick. The linear steering slider can be used to give you a wider dead zone around the center of the stick which can help. 2) Choose the sample garage setup for the track your racing - it has better settings than the garage defaults. Hope this helps. Eric (CART Team)
