Default Steering wheel?

Could we put one in with real flappy paddles? I don't care about radio controls since I no longer have one.

Maybe change our stock ones, left to downshift only, right to upshift only. I know someone was working on it but never heard anything about it.

At least reverse them, toward driver for upshift, forward for downshift.
