NFS and Microsoft Sidewinder Pro in digital mode?

6 posts by 6 people · 30 Jul 1996 - 03 Aug 1996

Does anyone know whether NFS (SE) supports the MS Sidewinder-joystick in its native, digital mode? I ran a few demo's of racing games and I don't like the response of the joysticks (neither the Sidewinder nor others). The tartan feels as if it is covered with soap (maybe it is just me... but I heard that the joystick-handling of the PC's is a bit awkward (designed in ancient times)), and I hope that the response of the Sidewinder in digital mode is more precise. Thanks for any info.

I have found that with my Sidewinder 3dPro, it is somewhat easier to "catch" the car when i lose control, and in long curves(like on Autumn Valley) i can hold a line consistently through and be smooth. With my old stick i would get a headache from see-sawing back and forth across the track. hope this helps -- Outlandish P133/32M/1.6g/33.2Kbps University of Illinois at Chicago

NFS does not support digital mode joysticks. The sidewinder will work, but only in analog mode. Not many current games support digital mode joysticks, but hopefully they will in the future.
Does anyone who has the CH pedals and wheel can tell me a good setup for them in GP2? Thanks! Ernie Bernardi
