From what I understand, the joystick driver with N2 is highly
optimized/modified/whatever to prevent problems with latency during
on-line racing on TEN.

Since TEN hosts the fully Nascar Santioned NROS, I guess they were
trying to deal with latency in the best way possible.

It's unfortunate the 'broke' it as far as digital devices go in the
process....

It's a shame, because the best use I could get out of my MSFFW (dropping
the FF part, of course) is on NROS!
