GPL HELP! Joystick Impossible

I'm running an old CH Flightstick on a 133. I've tried many different calibrations to no avail. About 40 laps practice, impossible to keep control if the stick is disturbed, like for mild braking. I have raced cars and motorcycles, and no way is there a real car that is that twitchy. Am I calibrating correctly? Do you think my joystick is at fault? I could sure use some advice!

If you have your brake set up on any of the joystick axis, there is no way you can control the car and even begin to turn the wheel under braking. I also doubt that you can achieve any decent control via throttle or braking if you are sharing the joystick axis for steering. Digital (on|off) braking and throttle is also a no go. This sim looks like it will REQUIRE a wheel and pedal. -- **************************** Michael E.

I also use a CH Flightstick (Pro), but only for steering and gear changing. Using a standard joystick Y-cable, I have an old CH Mach 1 stick connected and use it for throttle and braking with my other hand. After getting used to the separate throttle, it works pretty good. I also set the steering linearity to maximum 'non-linear', though I haven't played with that setting too much. The extra joystick is also useful for throttle/rudder control in flightsims as well.
