I don't think I would go out of my way to do it, unless you really wanted
to.  I have a crappy old GP1 Thrustmaster wheel with even older (and
crappier) T-1 Pedals (same axis) and I've consistently been doing times
with-in a second of the very fastest of the fast drivers on the Monza &
Watties Glen demos.  I wouldn't bother but I'd be interested to see if you
could do find a real difference.

Let us know if you do!

Regards,

Matt Wilson

PS'z: A special hello to all you GPL'ers.  Howz Nurburgring going?


>Yes.

Well...

If you want to always be 2-3secs off the pace minimum each lap...

race in single-axis ;-)

(actually, with the GPL game engine you "turn" with the throttle, so
trail-braking or tapping the brakes a little while in mid-corner under
acceleration is really a must and is almost impossible to do with a
single-axis brake/gas pedal unit)

what does this do?  shift weight forward and rotate the car into the corner?
haven't tried split pedal setup yet, but will when I get the full game.
