There's hope for the old dog yet! Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go! Malc.

I started out years ago with a Wingman Extreme & really liked the shape of the handle & positioning of the buttons. I've had several Wingman Extreme Digitals since, and have one that I customised to use the Y and Throttle (Z) for some custom built pedals. (X for steering with the handle) Ran with this configuration for a year or so and eventually bought a wheel & pedals but it didn't feel as realistic as I hoped it would, and badly affected my laptimes. If you can't make it real, at least make it fast imo ;-) So I got a USB Wingman Force & now use this with the pedals (via the modded extreme on the gameport). It's a great combination & iirc the Wingman Force was a highly rated joystick in it's day, just like it's sibling the original Wingman Formula Force wheel you guys all seem to love. I'd like to add a gpl shifter (wife permitting) next, but I'm not sure if it'd feel right with the joystick. Malc. -- GPLRank -17.84 MOGPLRank +33.22
