I really have no idea where you guys are getting
this. I have logged *many* hours on the 3DO version of the
game, and I can honestly say that the controls on the PC
version (with my Logitech Wingman) are identical to using
the CH Flightstick with my 3DO. Identical. Withing minutes
of playing, I was able control just as easily as I always
could, getting a top speed of 202.5 on the Diablo, just
missing my previous speed of 202.7 on the 3DO. It's either
your game card, your joystick, or your PC, but trust me, I
know how NFS should be control-wise and this is it.
