Just wondering.... is anyone going to use a wheel with AMA SuperBike?
I've tried my wheel for a few demo's, but the joystick seems a better
feeling choice for me. I'm just not comfy with the wheel, and I don't
think I have enough control options to properly handle the beasts.

Yup.
No. Makes it feel like I'm driving a car then.

Take a look at the Gravis Xterminator,I believe thats what I'm gonna use and
maybe along with my TSW2 pedals.I'm gonna pick one up when AMA is on the
shelves.The Xterminator has a throttle,a proportional joy pad and flippers
from what I hear so it should work better than turning a wheel to drive the
cycle:)

I'm going to experiment with various setups. Haven't determined the
optimum one yet (for a hint of what's possible, see
[link lost in import: /***.com/racing/ama_superbike/hands_on_preview.shtml]
I tried using a joystick, with lening set to auto, and my rear brake
on the throttle control (with my front brake on the joystick axis).
You need to have a seperate axis for the rear brake to have full
control over the bike. It worked OK but the throttle was an unnatural
device for the brake.
I tried a similar setup but with my rear brake on a foot pedal of my
Logitech wheel system. That felt better. I might go with that.

No, that's a sin! :-)
Wonder how the Microsoft Freestyle pad would work?
That's the one you can lean left/right as well as fore/aft.
The fastest Motocross Madness guys all seem to use them.
It sounds corny, but it's probably the most intuitive controller out
for controlling a realistically moving motorcycle.

I never liked it when I toyed with it in Motorcross Madness. Can't imagine
trying to play with it in SBK or other motorbike sims.

I can be a couple of manitudes more precise with a wheel or joystick
than a THUMB based analog pad.
I probably would use a joystick, but my piece of ***MS Sidewinder broke
[took it apart afterwards and it was horridly designed..too bad I really
liked it].

Yes. I will. My TSW. With split axis.
