ordered the game from InteractCD, and purchased SBK2000 to get some practice
while I'm waiting.
I also picked up a Logitech Wingman Extreme Gamepad, since one of the
SBK2000 reviews mentioned using the MS Freestyle gamepad. Conrollers are
always a difficult subject with bike sims, since there's a whole set of
sensations and actions involved in simply making a bike take a corner at
speed, and sims try to convey some of that if you want to take advantage of
it - but what's the right controller to use?
I couldn't get the Wingman Extreme to do anything in SBK2000, despite the
Profiler working just fine and responding to all movement in the expected
fashion. I'm trying a couple different joysticks (a Flightstick Pro and an
old Mach 1, which I prefer for fine control, but it's lacking in the button
dept.), and will probably try my LWFF/CH Pedals combo, as well, but nothing
seems really ideal.
Just looking for any pointers on what other people are using, especially
since GP500 has even more configuration options than SBK2000. TIA for any
help.
