Two stick tank-style makes it hard to drive straight (both hands must be in the same spot) and so does one stick (hand must be dead centre on the joystick).
Thanks alot. I tried this out the other day and I really liked the way it felt. Only problem now is that I need to dig up a left hand joystick(the KOP controlers for the past few years have all been right handed)

Our panel will constist of two joysticks ("Halo style") and a button box.
