However not many games support clutch control, and a solid H shifter (a lever activating a microswitch switch for every gear) would be expensive. --duxnukem

That would be an awesome idea. But it would actually have to be a decent pedal. I tried the pedals on the microsft system and i hate them. i use a joystick cause I am used to real pedals of cars and unless I spend a fortune on a good set of pedals I have to settle for some with no feel. The clutch feature of Viper racing is one I like so much and that all games should have. But most racing cars have sequential which is awesome. So the need for a clutch is not needed cause in most cases wouldn't be very realistic, but it would be cool, cause I love manual cars and i will refuse to ever drive anything else then a manual unless it's sequential.

Well, I use GPL mostly, so a clutch is useful.... esp for a quick get-a-way at the start. I built my own wheel/pedals (all metal), I have shift paddles (+ g/stick), a hand operated clutch lever on the wheel (really cool) + the usual foot pedals... also have 3rd/4th buttons on the wheel for 'look left/right' + a switch to gang/ungang the brake/throttle pedals. Unless you pay mega bucks for an all metal american wheel, you will end up with 'plastic crap' Make your own! Check this site out for full info on how to build your own, it worked for me! http://www.simracing.com/wallys_world/wheel2.html Dave Hawnt UK-GPL
