2600 beat me to it.

NOW, were to get an arcade analog flight stick for a reasonable price, BYO steering wheel/yoke, etc...


With all these new products that have been coming out no wonder I say a cabinet is never done!

clanggedin:

OK.. Let me get this straight. With the A-Pac I can use my Happ steering wheel and pedals with MAME??



2600:

You can use a happ 270 steering wheel and pot based pedals.  You can use digital pedals too, but those are just like button presses. 

The thing you can't do is a 360 wheel.



Witchboard:

So it's not compatible with optical analog devices, like 360 steering wheels, trackballs and spinners.
