Anyone Have A Suncom Analog Edge Joystick?

by pens.. » Fri, 01 Sep 1995 04:00:00

    I have one and I use it for NASCAR Racing.  It is VERY unstable and
once in a while the car jerks over to the right during a race.  I smash
into the wall and it slows me down.  Anybody else have this problem?

Yeah, I just got the Suncom one because it was the cheapest.  I guess
you get what you pay for with joysticks too! :)

I've had two Suncom units and both went flaky after about a month or so
of medium duty use.  Random steering glitches, like you describe, and
fire buttons that didn't.  I gave up and bought a CH Flightstick.  No
problems since.

Are you sure it's the joystick? Quite a few people seem to be complaining
about a similar problem in later versions of NASCAR. I think I've struck
it myself in v1.21.
