To use other controls in racers, like a joystict:

1) go to copy this code in /data/ctrlsets/ and look for a suitable file (eg: im using ms_wheel.ini)
2) copy this file in /data/controls/
3) run the config.exe (on windows) then select your new device

---------------------------------------

NOTE: if you are experiencing NO ENGINE SOUND for the card you dowloaded,
then you may have to update the CAR.INI file with the new parameters;

1) open the car.ini file locatel in your car directory
2) paste those lines at the bottom of the file
3) just check the WAV file's names are fine
