Using steering wheel in car

[Rstan]

Sorry for my question here, I don't know where can I ask it. I'm interested in using steering wheel and pedals which is used in simulation games under Windows OS. I have pro streets enforce car, I wrote IM its developer, but I didn't get answer yet.Maybe anyone knows may I use it or not with this car in SL?

Hi Rstan,

The simulation infrastructure of Second Life is wildly different from stand alone games you play under Windows. The vehicles you race there cannot be moved here.

About joystick - I'm not a gamer, I'm an assistant English teacher who teach students in SL. I don't have much skills in movement using arrow keys, so I want to try to use joystick for it. What do you think if it useful for it puporses?

if install a joystick inplace of a mouse on your computer then can use the joystick to move in SL as if you were using a mouse. If can also map the WASD/arrow movement keys to the joystick buttons then will work pretty good

you will need to google your joystick instructions on how to install/setup this on your computer. Its a hardware/driver thing specific to your brand of joystick and computer

Does anyone have Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick?  Is Joystick really better than just arrow buttons and a mouse?

Is it comfortable to press the buttons on the joystick?
