NHRA: Just joystick buttons for throttle/brake?

Does he have a 3dfx card? Rumor has it that 3dfx isn't very well supported either. Yep...

I'm just wondering why you would want to use a pedal when a joystick button is instant? A pedal would actually be slower.

I think that the BIG question is: will Tantrum be as customer friendly as Bethesda is, and get right to work on patches using input from the end users? Namely Voodoo2 graphics and car control.
