As per title:- I don't have a wheel, but I don't want to have to use a mouse for steering! Thanks, - Michael

Rubbish. I have a home-made set of pedals built out of an old Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital, using the Y & Z axes for the pedals & keeping X for the occasional game that doesn't support multiple controllers. It works fine with LFS split axis, and it's much easier for me to catch a slide than using a wheel. The latest patch should allow you to assign buttons to the throttle & brake too, if you don't want to use a regular Joystick's Y-axis. Steering is no problem, but throttle/brake is a compromise, hence my setup. Malc.

Yep. It also works with a PSX dual-shock gamepad. Just turn down the sensitivity and the steering lock and go for it!
