GPL HELP! Joystick Impossible

by se.. » Thu, 09 Apr 1998 04:00:00

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!

How are you braking?  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.

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.
