What controller are you using in Midtown Madness

I love this game but HATE the controls. The MS Sidewinder FF wheel (which is made by the same company as the game) is worthless. The steering in virtually non-responsive and when the car finally does decide to turn it goes up on 2 wheels and generally flips. I get the same crappy controls with the keyboard although it's better than the wheel. If I switch to external view it gets a bit easier to control but still not nearly as good as the control in games like Carmageddon, etc. Is there a patch to make the Sidewinder work - I would have though a MS game would have superior support for their own wheel.

Select the joystick option when using the wheel. It seems to make it more responsive.
I use the MSFF wheel with this game and it works great. It's that stupid Mustang that wants to flip over all the time, especially the cruiser. daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----
You didn't mention this, so: Have you tried specifying "joystick" as the controller? I think some ppl sais that they got better wheel response when the controller in the game is set to "joystick". hth, --mountain K
