SBK: Still wondering what controller to use?

Stop wondering. Buy Micro$oft Sidewinder Freestyle Pro. (http://www.microsoft.com/products/hardware/sidewinder/tilt/default.htm It's controlled by tilting! OK, it doesn't have FF and you can's provoke wheelies with it, but otherwise it's brilliant. Because it's analogue (D-pad and buttons are digital), you get accurate handling through fast sweepers and yet great 'flickability'. I use some amount (1-2) of throttle and braking help in SBK to avoid highsides in slow corners and stoppies (as opposed to wheelies). It also comes with an entertaining motocross game (not a simulator). -- Sami Gr?nstrand www.hut.fi/home/sgronstr

All you need is a cheap {$20 here in NJ} Thrustmaster Top Gun joystick. I have no problems doing wheelies but I'd rather race. Good luck. Thom j.

I use the Fx Racing Wheel by Interact. It's a mini-wheel about 2 inches in diameter, and the throttle and brake controls can be set at either analog or digital. It works great for motorcycle games. It supposedly supports FF too, but my opinion is that the FF doesn't work too well. CompUSA had it for $40. Interact's earlier contoller called the UltraRacer doesn't have FF, but it can supposedly be had for $20. You can check out their website for more info. www.interact.com

I use the Logitech formula force wheel and it works great. The feedback is amazing with this game. I think its the best forcefeedback effects in any game so far. Plus you get full variable throttle and brake control not the button ***thats on and off. Its much easier to ride smooth. I have a microsoft freestyle pro and it works ok also but in full realism mode I dont like tilting it forward and backward for speed control. When you set it down and use the menus it wants to select buttons for you. Hope this helps. >I use the Fx Racing Wheel by Interact.
