What is? The fact that there *won't* be multi-controller support or me
giving up on the game? Lemmesee ... I don't think that my opinions or doings
move you one bit, but you _should_ be able to stand behind your words on
controller support. You were so sure back then ... what happened? A tragic
loss?

Don't know whether this will help anyone else but I use a MSFF wheel and
after trying the 3-axis setting and various things within my profiler
without any luck I tried the 2-axis setting (with split axis set in the
profiler) and now am able to drive with split axis pedals. Don't ask me how
but it does work for me....
