You did not say similar, you said this, "it feels like someone took the positioning model from F-ZERO X and added the floaty physics from Wipeout XL." This makes it sound like fzero with floaty physics, which is doesn't feel like at all. I do understand the position on the controller thing (crappy controller I might add). However, most n64 games have that sort of controller position thing of those games, but that does not mean they feel alike.

On a side note, I am really wondering about this position thing. I watched other people play with that controller, and the game moves choppy a little (like piranha from Xl), but when I used the ultraracer 64 , or any other wheel, it is smooth as can be, pretty much the same as xl. I wonder if the pot is better, then maybe the feel is better? Not sure, I have not been able to get that n64 controller working for you yet, I have the stuff apart, but one of the pots of the n64 controller had a piece soldered from one pin of the pot to another on the same pot. I guess I would have to do the same thing? Ok back on topic now.
