Hey just wondering what way all of you guy's and gal's have wipeout setup ie controls music things like that. this is mine
steering: Dpad
Accelorator:X, and its set to 60.
Air Brakes: Set to 90.
Music:At the moment im listening to the new Prodigy album.
View:Close
Favourite ship:At the moment Pirahna.
Hud:wipeout HD
Assisted steering off. I actually had this on for a long time, but after playing pulse for a while i preffered to have it off. but was a steep learning curve wouldn't go back to assist though.

Thats all i can think of for now, if anyone has any tips or suggestions then please share with the rest of the pilots cheers!

Steering: Left analogue stick (still have to try out the d-pad soon I heard it's so much easier to control)
Accelerator: X, and its set to 10. (Read on some post this is pressure sensitive so to set it to 10 acts digital therefore allowing to lightly press to maintain full speed)
Air Brakes: Set to 70. (my sweet spot)
Music: A ton of custom tracks spanning various genres, all adrenalin induced of course perfect for racing to:)
View: Close (internal looks fun but dizzying)
Favourite ship:At the moment assegi
Hud: wipeout 3 (easier to make out the weapon icons I think)
Assisted steering off. (No better way to have it, needed off to master online play & the later campaign stages)

Accelorator:X, and its set to 60.

I suggest you change that to 10, the higher the number the harder you need to push the button to get full thrust.

AG-S for ship and Left Stick for Steering.

Steering : D-pad
Accelerator : 10
Air-brakes : Haven't the foggiest. Whatever the default is
View : Internal, and let me go on a little rant here :
Why anyone would even consider using the external view in this game is beyond me. For me this game is all about insane speeds and the thrill of the chase (or being chased), and internal view is by far the best way to achieve that feeling. I tried external view once, and the game seemed so slooow (on phantom). But that's just my opinion.:lol
Ship : Used to be Feisar, but I won my first Nordic Session with Icaras last week, so I'm going with Icaras for now.
PA : off, off, OFF!
HUD : Wipeout HD. Would like to go back to the 2097 hud, but it really needs the proximity detector.
Music : "Best of" the old wipeout soundtracks, some Pendulum and the Skatalites

Some really good mixes there so far lol. I'll have to change my accelerate to 10 thank's for the tip!
My other music I listen to is Trance Anthems Classics, ive been meaning to get the pendulum album goes really well with this kind of game.
Oh i used to use the stick until i watched a dev interview and he said the game was far better using the d-pad, so i gave it a go and never looked back.

Steering - D Pad
Acceleration - 10
Airbrakes - 90 (think this is more for Zones than online races), L1 R1
View - Far
Ship - Icarus (skin 2) below Phantom, AG sys at Phantom - skin4
Pilot Assist - you're having a giraffe.
Hud - HD, like the proximity but it annoys me when it picks up people who just seem to join races not to race and spend the whole time doing other things. 1 pilot in particular has been doing this the last couple of days. I've been told its to get exp points but I thought you only got those for actually finishing races
Pitch - default don't use the motion option.
Music - I have some old Cafe del Mar original CDs, Ibiza euphoria and chilled out euphoria. Perfect songs depending on Zone or Online.
Dope - usually. The later the night the worse I am. I seem to be at my best at 9am !! Ask Blackwiggle
TV - Samsung 32". Not sure I could cope with much bigger than that and the Mrs wouldn't stand for any bigger in our lounge. Likes to think she is classy .....

Steering - Left Analog - I'd be glad to find a pad where the D-Pad does not s*ck but haven't been looking for that much anyway :) forget about DS3's D-Pad
Acceleration - 10
Airbrakes - L1/R1@90
View - Far
Ship - AG sys skin2
Pilot Assist - shouldn't exist
Hud - Wip3out for zone, HD elsewhere. What I like in the wip3out hud for zone is those little white points at the bottom left, this way you know exactly where a zone ends and at higher speed on some circuits you can take advantage of it to wallhit earlier or as late as possible to have one more perfect zone (for example for the hairpin on reverse CP)
Music - Who's next by The Who
Screen - Viewsonic VX2260WM (22" 16/9). Cheapest way to have a good full hd screen ;)

Accel: X - 10 Sensitivity
Air Brakes: L2/R2 default sensitivity
Music: Anything between techno, rock, old wipeout stuff, and even some anime stuff. ;D
View: Far
SixAxis: Pitch only at 60
Craft: Mirage, Goteki 45, Triakis, and Qirex.
Hud:Wipeout XL/2097
Pilot Assist: Offffffffff.

Also, I use the D-Pad for steering, have since the first Wipeout, and it's worth noting that I typically have the controller pitched down so I can hug the course and glide through the turns nice and tight, really helped me earn some speed as I'm not specifically crazy about BR's.

Just got a new Saitek PS2700 (http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/9701451/-/Product.html?searchstring=ps2700&searchsource=0) pad. It lets you swap the position of the stick and dpad around. I find it so much easier to barrel roll with the stick in the normal dpad position
