HAs anyone tryed to play Motoracer with a steering wheel. I was wondering if it would be better than a stupid joystick. Yes I know the question is stupid too.

Control in Moto Racer is EXCELLENT with a steering wheel (and a good game card)! It seems weird, but it allows for so much more precision... One thing that will make Moto Racer completely unplayable (and based on your tone, this may be the problem you've encountered) is a fast machine with a simple joystick and NO game card. I've encountered this on a couple machines (the slowest was a 166/no card); the stick was just too sensitive and there was no way to tune it down. Try an ACM and a T2 (or better); you'll be amazed at the difference! Sean

It works, but I found it MUCH harder to control with a wheel than a joystick. You really need that fast side-to-side movement for this game. Joe

You'll also probably feel like a complete fool playing it like that. I'm a motorcycle fanatic, and I felt like I was committing a sin. :) It's obvious that the keyboard or a gamepad are no closer to handlebars and a twist throttle than a wheel is, but there is something real creepy about steering a motorcycle with a wheel. It just isn't right. Heh. Tim

Besides, all that *** back and forth will put a lot of added wear and tear on your wheel. I personally have found that a Gravis Gamepad gives me the best control and prefer using it over a joystick or my T2. Chris
