No.  Include MBTR and others at least.

No need for the sarcasm***head. I don't own a PS/2 so how am I
supposed to know you can hook it up to your computer monitor? Most
people hook them up to their TV so you still haven't told me where
those people put their wheel and pedals combo. My guess is they don't
and most play with a silly gamepad.

Never argue with an idiot.  He brings you down to his level, then beats you
