Tried Project Cars with a flightstick.

Works surprisingly well, i don't have a wheel, and a controller isn't cutting it fo rme with this game, it's too sensitive .

I have the throttle as my accelerator and i pull back on the stick to brake , and the 2 buttons on the head of the stick are to change gear and the HAT as my left and right views.

It's far superior to a controller , anyone tried it?

Not tried it with Dirt Rally yet.

When GPL came out I used a joystick for a while, and the guy who set all the track records used two sticks to separate brake and throttle completely. There's no reason why a joystick can't be way more effective than a controller due to the greater range, but having the various axes isolated on a dedicated wheel is always going to be more effective and immersive.

Thinking about it, back in the day on my Spectrum and then Amiga, ALL racing games were played with a joystick

Actually, EVERY GAME was played with a joystick.
