     Last week I finally purchased ICR2 and a Gravis professional joystick.
So I'm new to both the game and using a joystick.

     I'm finding it very hard to control the car at high speeds.  With this stick
I'm always over correcting.  Is there a much better joystick on the market, or
is a wheel the only way to go?

     My son is also interested in the flight sims., so a joystick is really our best
(only) solution.

     Thanks for any help,

Joel Willstein

I did the same thing as you did except I bought the CH Flightstick Pro
instead of the Gravis.  I've never tried the Gravis Joystick but does
it have a lot of travel?  Joysticks with a lot of travel are very good
for racing sims.  Wheels are definitely not the only way to go.  They
are more comfortable and realistic but a good joystick will usually
give you the same lap times as a wheel.

Take a look at my cousin's website for Thrustmaster products at
