Re: Steering Wheels

We used a steering wheel in 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003. It works great. The only thing you need to watch out for is the travel of the steering wheel is not such that you get 0 to 255. You have to "boost" the actual readings to get the full input.

We set it up like a one joystick control. IFI has a whitepaper on the subject (one joystick control). The throttle is the y-axis and the steering wheel is the x-axis.
