| Spy Hunter on a Standard CP? |

Just an FYI: You dont really need a button to call the Truck. The Truck always comes at specific intervals. The truck does not come any faster if you push the weapons van button during gameplay. The Weapons van button is merely used for starting the game. The game is way too intense for any compromises on control schemes. |

Forward/back could be the pedal, then left/right and all the buttons on the stick (plus the button bank under your left hand) should cover it all. But man, what a compromise. Spy Hunter is one of those games you just sort of have to live without unless you have a dedicated cab/panel. However, I use my analog flight stick for Star Wars, which is totally wrong of course, but it is very playable and enjoyable, probably because flying an aircraft with a flight stick feels natural whereas driving a car with one is just weird.

Look for a cheap PC steering wheel setup with suction cups on the bottom. You don't need to modify your CP that way and can just remove it when you are done with Spy Hunter. I got one of those NASCAR steering wheels for $15 on clearance at Target a while ago. Other than the original controller of course, I don't think there is any other way to properly play this game. EDIT: I think this is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-NASCAR-Racing-Vibration-Feedback/dp/B0002SAF96 |

Andy, that has me thinking. Previously I was assuming I'd eventually make a swappable panel using a genuine arcade steering wheel, but of course it's pretty expensive. I wonder if this might be a good solution for me. Looks great! Few questions: * Do you mind measuring the dimensions of the base? I wonder if it would fit on one of my swappable panels (I think they're 19.5"x6.5"). Would be great if it's smaller, but maybe it could still work if bigger. * Do you think I could take off the suction cups and run screws through one of my panels up into the suction cup holes (or elsewhere)? * Is it 270 degrees? I think pretty much all PC wheels are, but that's more a suspicion than any direct knowledge. * I assume you're happy with this wheel? Does it work well for other games? What about games that have a shifter? Thanks! |
