[2022] My first major Switch issue - car driving controls are really difficult

Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it.
One of the reasons for that implementation is the lack of buttons. Using stick up for throttle and stick left/right for steering doesn't work. Ideally I will need to use the shoulder buttons for brake/accelerate, but they are used in many interactions.

The problem is the distinction between W, W+D, and D for example is too subtle. Instinctively you would move the stick right to turn right, but in that case you end up going right without acceleration which most of the time is not what you want. In practice it's extremely fiddly to turn and accelerate. It involves trial and error on every turn as you find the positions for W, W+D and D.
