Another suggestion. Are you using the buttons on your joystick to
accelerate and brake? If so, get something like the FlightMax from Suncom. It
has two sliders on the base that are wired as the x- and y-axes of the second
joystick. This will provide you with analog control of the accelerator. Using
the buttons is like always driving with your foot either off the gas, or with
the gas to the floor. Not very realistic, is it?
