Sure, an ideal world involves getting a wheel, but I fly flight simes
(Warbirds) more than I drive so a stick makes more sense. Any benefit
to driving with the keyboard over the joystick?
Just curious.

Nope, no benifit to using a keyboard over a Joystick/wheel, unless your
racing arcade games, then I prefer the keyboard or a gamepad.
There are, of course, people out there that are very fast using the
keyboard.
Just ask Woelfgang Woeger! He's the one of worlds fastest GPL'ers using a
stick. (Maybe he isn't a good reference as he isn't from this planet... - or
is he?)
I think you can be faster but it is a lot harder to be consistent because a
joystick is very exhausting on the wrists after a while.
I've tried it a while ago when my T2 broke down.
It works, but I prefer a wheel. Sure you can react faster with a joystick
but I don't think you be as precise as with a wheel.
Know what you mean about chopping and changing. I struggled with a
wheel until it broke and the damned thing required my com2 port so if I
wanted to go online I had to swap it over with my modem. Also with so
little room I couldn't get the whole thing comfortably setup.
I've been using a joystick for sims now for about 6 months - due to
those limitations of space - and have no problems being competitive. I
have the joystick stuck to a piece of plate glass that I have on my lap.
I mainly play GPL, but just got N3 as a chrissy pressy so have been
playing that a bit in the last few days, though I have a long way to go
with it before I start getting serious.
With GPL I can race and win online and can beat the AI at Grand Prix
level when I keep it on the track for the full race, though this can be
*** for me poor old knees.
As long as the joystick is giving you smooth feedback then you should be
fine.

Rik,
I also have a MS SW PP and was hoping that you could tell me how you
have yours set up? I would like to shift up and down using the base
buttons A and B is this possible? I have not been able to do this.
My assignments are:
Acceleration=Stick Forward
Reverse=Stick Backwords
Brakes=Button #1
Shift Up=Button #4
Shift Down=Button #3
Turn Left=Stick Left
Turn Right=Stick Right
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
