well...
Since I want to develop some good habbits when i drive, I keep both hands on the steering wheel, becuase most of the steering wheel/pedal setups i've had had only 2 pedals, I just use one foot just like I would in RL with the left free for a clutch, I would only use both at once for something like say, if I were to drive with one of the F1 cars since the more modern ones had paddle shift (although a few in the early 90's still had the tradtaional shifter, accel, brake and clutch...)... otherwise, I try and mimic what is done in RL as much as I can...
I can't say the transistion from controller to steering wheel went well instanlty, but wthin a day I was at the pace I would usually go with a controller if not faster.
That's what I've got to say, untill later.
