Driver: fast steer???

i think analog... I was trying to drive really slow and was able (after a
little while) able to hold it at a steady 30 mph.  so it must be anolog,
right?

If still has 'burnout' and 'cruise control' buttons I guess it's
digital, if were analogic these buttons has no sense.

In the demo, the pedal is a button, in the range of no gas to middle
pedal the button is off, from the middle pedal to full the button is
on. Perhaps the 30 mph is the middle pedal and switching into button
off and on can hold the 30 mph.
Try hold other speed with same car.

For me is important this detail, if is analogic I'll buy the game, if
it's digital no.

Thanks

I have the full version, and I can give as much or as few gas as I
want. I think the cruise control is handy because it's quite difficult
to keep the pedal pressed the same amount. You can drive 50, if you
drive above 50 the cops will come after you (I believe it's 50). So at
the moment I drive 50, I press cruise control and I don't have to
worry about going faster because I accidentally press my gas pedal too
much.

To make a long story short: BUY IT! You can't compare it to GPL, it's
a completely different game, but it's fun, fun, fun, and the music is
absolutely fabulous! It gives the right 'streets of san fransisco'
feeling :)

funny, after replying to that letter, I played driver and was unable to hold
a constant speed, acting very digital. Now I'm confused!!!

So you can hold, say, a steady 40 mph without using the cruise ctrl?

Absolutely! Some missions are much easier if you keep driving 50 when
a police car is in the vicinity. If you have enough time, only speed
if there is no cop around. And I don't use cruise control for this.

Controller set as Joystick 1?
Accelerate/Up Break/Down?

What controller _are_ you using btw?

Just to add my observations wrt the Driver Demo, as I remember it
(haven't played the demo in a while):

I wouldn't say that the pedal (Logitech FF wheel, USB) it really like
a "button" though... On my setup, it's more like an analog control,
except...  Well, if I put my pedal 1/2 way down, the car will reach a
set speed, say 60mph, then fluctuate on either side of that speed.
Holding the pedal as steady as I can results in the car accelerating
to 60mph, hitting 61 then slowing down, going below 60, speeding up,
etc...

 It's like the pedal controls the actual *speed* of the vehicle, as
opposed to the *engine power*.

In any case, it's unrealistic and I hate it.  The demo game is fun,
but it's so hard to control the car's speed that I stopped playing it.
