Good joystick car control???

I've been working on a joystick based on multiple touch points such as touch forward button change velocity Forward right change velocity 45 degrees and rotate car 45 so it points the car in the direction it moves toward. And so on in a circle to complete all the positions. The problem is that I noticed sometimes the buttons don't detect the touch change. Any body have a better joystick. I tried code monkey joystick but it's not realitic for a car as it slides funny and tried firemaples car template but it does not react to bouncing collisions properly. I've tried to tweak both and said screw it so started creating what I described above but don't like the inconsistency

    So nobody has a decent joystick for controlling a car. Perhaps my touch detection issue is because of resizing. I'll give it a try with 8.5 later

    There are a couple of joystick demos in the published games. I used one of them (FireMaple's)...it works well.

    Is the actor animated in each direction or a single image that rotates to face the right direction

    I have a demo for the second one ready if u need it for an animated image i would have to add a few more rules

    I've set it as 1 image that rotates as it touches the other button directions. I was not happy with most of the joystick demos due to the actor floating on the scene uncontrollable due to momentum and acceleration. Other issues I see are the actor losing it's sense of direction when colliding. Also some of Them would not collide The way I liked
