Hi Charles, The main reason is because when Jim wrote Mach 1 TTS he exclusively designed it for his Logitech racing wheel. While your game controller will work with the game the buttons and controls won't exactly match up with those the game were designed for. Plus while there are substitute controls they won't be as intuitive as those the game was designed with.
For instance on a typical racing wheel there is only one wheel. Turn it left or right to turn the car. With a gamepad you have a POV hat and two sticks. Depending on how your game controller is set up the wheel could be replaced by either stick or the POV hat. Requiring some trial and experimentation to figure out which performs the desired action. Same goes for controls like throttles and gearshifts. Since gamepads are generally designed for different types of games you may or may not have an equivalent control on your pad. Meaning that you may be without a vital control just because of the type of controller being used, or you have something that works but isn't immediately obvious. What would help is a profiler where you can map the controls to whatever works best for that specific controller. Cheers!
