I noticed that ICR2 has mouse support. I dont have cash for a T2, and am
considering buying one of those steering wheels that attach to a mouse.
Has anyone tried this? Please E-mail me if you know anything about this...
Thanks,
P.S. I also need to know where to get one of these. All the places here in
Dayton no longer stock these.
Don't know that specific one, but what you need to push the speed
envelope is control. Arcade-style controllers don't offer enought
travel (distance the device moves from extreme positions) in either
steering or acceleration to be accurate enough to have proper control
of the car. The steering wheel is obviously the best, because the
travel any fixed point moves 10 inches or more. This allows for
extremely slight adjustments to be made to control the car.
For me, ironically, I prefer a slightly smaller than normal
joystick. Even though the travel of the stick is only 3 1/2 inches,
the big sticks are too hard to gain palm grounded finger control, and
some are pretty loose at the base to table point.
The key with a joystick is to adjust the max throttle to be exactly
at the forward limit point of the stick. This allows you to lift
throttle by pulling back just a slight bit. If you have to pull back
the throttle 1/2" to start letting off the gas, you can't reliably get
to proper speed for the curves!
