I have EA Sports Superbike World Championship and can't get 800*600! Only 640*480 :( I'm using V3 3000 with the latest drivers and dx7. Need some help Also... Gravis Xterminator... Is it suitable pad to bikegames?? /jaska
Depends... it's such an individual thing, all about your dimensions and dexterity. A couple of guys here raved about Xterminator when SBK came out and as PC Superstore happened to have it on sale at the time, I just had to give it a try. The two analog flippers are simply great for accelerating/braking, and for gear shifting, lookback etc. you have several cleverly placed buttons to choose from, most notably the middle finger triggers (now you've found another use for those). The biggest drawback for me was the sensitivity of the analog pad/stick. Eventually got used to it in SBK but it would still seem more suitable for pure arcade titles. Keeping in mind the inherent sensitivity of a tiny stick, combined with the fact that you're trying to hold the line using just one finger, the problem for me was that I always struggled to find and keep a consistent driving line. Not very good for precision racing. Otoh, once I did get used to it, I've liked it better than wheel in motorcycle sims, but only in those. --- Antti Markus Peteri 15 miles. your dim light shines from so far away - Soul Asylum, Promises Broken
