GP500, Superbike WC, AMA Controller Setup

What is the best controller setup for GP500, EA's Superbike SBK, and AMA? I have three different steering controllers(Logitech Formula Force, TSW, and Nascar Pro), as well as several joysticks/gamepads, MS Sidewinder 3D Pro, MS Sidewinder GamePad, MS Freestyle Pro, CH Flightstick, etc. I have been unable to get a decent configuration using any of these controllers, especially in GP500. Could anyone currently playing these games successfully please post the controller you are using and how you have it configured(Acceleration, Front Brake, Rear Brake, Lean Left/Right, Gear Up/Down, etc)? Any help would be greatly appreciated. P.S. Anyone having lockup problems in GP500? I have a PII 450, 128mb, Canopus Pure 3D Voodoo2 in SLI, Diamond MX300, running Win 95c, and my machine almost always locks up either while I'm racing, or in the setup menus. Each time I have to completely reboot my machine. Again, any help or insight would be greatly appreciated. Don Chapman

Don, Here's the setup I use in AMA: Steering: CH Flightstick Left/Right Crouch/Situp: CH Flightstick Fore/Aft Gear Up/Down: CH Flightstick Buttons Throttle: TSW Throttle Pedal Front Brake: TSW Brake Pedal Rear Brake: TSW Clutch Pedal (not easy to heel-toe but can be done) Rider Lean: AUTO I use a similar setup in SBK except for the lack of rear brake. BTW, I also ride using the true riders view which I find quite usable in AMA. Can't stay on the bike with it in SBK though so I have to use the chase view.

First, absolutely no lock-up problems with GP 500 (Celeron 300A at 450, V3 3000, 128M). I am using my Logitech Formula wheel with GP 500, and CH pedals wired in for GP 500. I presently use auto lean, with manual shifting on the paddles. I've increased the wheel sensitivity (right term?) to +50% in the GP 500 controller set-up. I use the pedals for throttle and brake, with combined front and rear. I am far from an expert, but this seems to work fairly well. I tried a joy stick, but I was really struggling with it.
