rec.autos.simulators

They had some NASCAR driver try it out. He wrecked out of the race... :)

The question I have is what model CH wheel were they using? Is there a CH Pro
yoke with a batch of buttons? I've seen the CH yoke with the single set of red
buttons, but the one they were using had 2 sets of buttons and little thumb-
sticks (for aiming? in a flight sim?).

I also found it odd that they were playing the game on a slow computer. The
frame rate was set painfully slow...it's not exactly got me wanting to go and
buy the game if it looks like that!

thanks,
keith

--- Yes ther is now a PRO version of the V.Pilot though I've heard that
it is overkill for NASCAR Racing.  May be better for flight sims (though
I still find the V.Pilot a bit too cumbersome for action flight sims
anyhow).  NASCAR cannont take advantage of all the extra buttons I don't
believe (?).

--- They were no doubt 'showing it off' for the cameras and likely doing
the SVGA on a DX66 no doubt... it would be slow indeed (but clearer for TV).
I never caught the telecast though so I don't know.  Is that all they did?
Did the driver himself make any comments after/during play?
