Ido, the analog sensor inputs on the PhidgetInterfaceKit can be used just
like the analogs on EPIC, but you need to send the values to the simulator
by hand.  HOWEVER, I bet if you email Chester, he might be interested in
making some software changes so that the Phidget analogs appear as
joystick axes to the computer.
