Joysticks in remote controllers for toy helicopters are usually forced into one direction, you can just restrict one of the two dimensions

So a thing worse than a wheel?

[-] programmer_belch@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

While a wheel is more familiar to me, I don't think it has many advantages over a speed modulated joystick, just make it as big as a hand so that you can have a hand for the joystick and lights and another for the gear stick, maybe put the control of the lights on the joystick if its more convenient

But cars move in an arc, the turning of the wheel is an extremely good analog for the cars movement. I really disagree and I submit that no one uses a joystick for sim racing, if it was better ppl would have latched on. You need the force feedback and control that comes with grasping a wheel and having the lever moment that a wheel gives. A joy stick has no mechanical advantage.

That's true but when I talk about a joystick, I was thinking more in the line of a big lever connected to where the turning wheel is, the problem I see is that the servos to give the analog feedback would have to be stronger. As there is no precedent, we can't see if it would stick
