hey...i have an idea!!!!

lol

i have an old harley bar...and throttle

maybe get an old steering wheel .. remove the wheel and attach my bar and then use the pedal set to get the throttle to push and pull the accelerator pedal via cables
and i guess we need a brake lever too...
hmmm

lmao

is the steering in the game like real bike racing ? where you push the bar opposite to where you want to go in that it makes the bike fall the way you want to turn ?? i doubt it lol

Stephen, I didnt get a chance to download it -- (been slammed at work lately) ... what's the controller situation? do you use your wheel or joystick, gamepad, keyboard, etc?

It seems to me I used my joystick for SBK 2001. Those were the days when I was just discovering computer "games". I loved the Duc!

Someone really needs to make a bike sim controller.

Handlebars that turn attached to a fork assembly that moves in all directions like a big joystick. The handle bars turning would be completely seperate axis from the fork assembly. This way you could counter steer with the handlebars and then the whole fork assembly could lean left/right and front/back to adjust the riders position on the bike.

It'll probably never happen, but it would be cool as hell.

There are a few out but they didn't seem to make it to North America. Big retailers won't touch such a small market. Here is some links

There was one other that had foot controls and was connected by a stick to the handlebars. you controlled the rider movement as you moved the handlebars fore and aft & left to right. I think I saw it on the italian race site, Driving Italia, but couldn't find the link.
