How do you play V Rally?

Do you use the stylus or your thumbs to control the car? I just discovered that if you use your index finger to accelerate on the jog wheel and use your L and R thumbs to steer on the touch screen, the game is somewhat playable.

I tried using the stylus at first and it was one big messy unplayable game, anyone else able to control the car?

vrally (demo) has the lamest controls... is it really that wild of an idea to use the jogdial as a steering wheel (like stuntrun)?

No kidding! That goofy pen-based input makes VRally unplayable.

FWIW: I installed StuntRun and MIB:II on my P900 and neither one were playable - the colors were so off they made the screen unreadable. I could barely see the menus and find my way out of the apps. It's the 4K vs. 64K color difference plus software issues, I suspect.

You are supposed to your your thumbs to steer,,,however, I'm not greasing up my P900 screen and using the Stylus is just about impossible...but it makes for some nice crashes.....

Yeah, you are supposed to use your thumbs to steer, I know now but because of the poor "Help" Menu, I only found this out last night, and was really excited, I tried it out because I just had my new Martin Fields screen protector installed, another thing I discovered, is that you are supposed to slide your thumbs over the steering scale, so as to achieve some form of analog control, the inner most edges of the scale is light input, progressing to more aggressive turns, as you slide out wards, I just increased the playability by a notch, with this, now the game isn't so bad and is actually playable. I just had a good game in the crap :-)

The P900 is actually a GREAT games machine, an actual PS1 inside, let's hope the the developers can get the controls right and roll out the games.

Yeah they could have done that but your jog wheel would be pathetic in 3 months
