Can anyone recommend a decent joystick for GPL??? My Thrustmaster Top
Gun just doesn't want to work well with GPL. I have to assign a button
to the throttle and the brake to get it to go foward and stop. I've
calibrated it and still that's the only way it will go. I have movement
on both axes too when I calibrate it. It works great with all the Need
for Speed games, Rally Masters and Colin McRae Rally 2. Just not GPL,
Nascar 4 and Heat.
I've got a MS Sidwider Race Wheel, but the way my desk and chair are
it's a pain to pull it out and setup so I rarely use it.
Anyways, I'm gonna give GPL a try and see how well I like it.
Thanks,
Jeff

the MS Sidewinder Joystick is excellent, it has a slider for the throttle.
(at leat the one I bought in 96 did)

Probably way below what you want, but I got on quite well with a basic
MS Sidewinder Standard, their bottom-of-the-range stick. Cost 20 quid
at the time (1998) and while I wouldn't want to use it instead of a
wheel, it was good enough to do VROC with.
