I played a couple of missions/loads on it. You pretty much need a pc race wheel to steer well.

I bet a Logitech Trackman would work good....which I don't have but its cheap and useful for more then just games. so I could justify buying it, thanx for the tip.

I'ts a fun game. The routes are kinda short, which is a good thing. Actually I saw an updated version last week at Wally World, which allows you to own and manage your company.

Haven't checked out the game but I have a question - is the game operation close enough to the real thing that it could be used as a simulator? If not does anyone know if there are any downloadable simulators that are any good? My training is still 5 weeks out and I'd like to find something that'll give me a chance to prepare a little. Thanks for any info!
