So, D-pad or analog stick?
I started out using the pad, then hating it and switching to the analog stick, and now I'm back to using the pad WAAAAYYYYY more control with the pad when it comes to pitch control and barrel rolling, and I also make a lot less noise with the controller

D-pad. You have no idea how weird the analog stick seems to me. I tried it once recently and as you said more mildly than me, I had basically no control whatsoever (Well maybe it's the extent of my piloting skills and my recent extreme rustiness rendering me unable to pilot half the track without crashing SOMEWHERE). And the noise when I try barrel rolling (note 'try' as it didn't pick up or maybe that's my crap controller).
So, D-pad and L1 R1 for the airbrakes.

D-pad, NeGcon when Im using the PS1. I lack the brains to get the NeGcon to work on the PS3.

Analogue with 6axis pitch control. I dislike the PSX D-Pad: it feels stiff, inaccurate, and uncomfortable to me. D-Pads are only good for 2D games, IMO... yet there are players like Leungbok who surprise me with how good they are, so it obviously to me boils down to how comfortable you are. Even seen one player get a top 10 time using pure 6axis motion control.
I've actually tested the D-pad out, and maybe it's just the way I use it, but there are common points that when held actually correspond not to the button you're pressing, but to the perpendicular option, e.g. if I'm holding down D-pad right, if I hold it in the right spot, will actually be D-pad down or D-pad up. So that, mixed with those other serious issues, turns me off the D-pad massively. I think it was fine back in the PS1 days, but then with the PS2>onward they made all the buttons analogue, and it ****ed them up bigtime.

Has to be analog for me. It feels more fluent and I find it a hell of a lot easier to barrel roll using the analog stick than the directional pad

D-pad. I don't like analog sticks.
@IXxNOCTURNALxXI : Yes, i think you are right about barrel rolling with analog stick. But maybe keeping a good line, like when you have to do a double br, is harder?
If peoples who mastered analog sticks and tried d-pad too could answer this, it could be interesting to know.
