I got a new Logitech wheel today,
My old ( lol ) MOMO one ( red and alloy ) works fine I just fanced the new
900 degree action !!!

Lets just say it works pretty well.... Much harder force feedback !!!

MY other one is going on ebay I guess...?

Would you consider selling it?

Are you using it on a PC?  If so, with what games?  How does it work
with games that don't know about its extra travel?  Does it just average
out across its entire range?

Thanks,
Russell

I've had one for a couple of weeks, I love it.  The wheel can be set
to lock at 200degrees, or 900degrees... but with the utility dxtweak2,
you can set the wheel to whatever you want, (but it won't lock).  This
is great, as I typically steer with one hand (both in sims and real
life) and so I set it to 270degrees (the range of my one-handed palm
steering).  

The caveats I've found are:  there are no drivers for the DFP for XP,
so you have to tolerate the DF drivers.  This means:  FF is not tuned
for the wheel, and you lose 1600% (that's right) of precision due to
lack of native drivers...  it's not a huge deal, as it still has more
precision than the Logitech MOMO wheel.  The quality is great, uses
optical sensor for the steering and pots for the pedals (which are
decent).

Hopefully, Logitech will add native support for this sweet wheel in
XP.

Where can I find info about that wheel?

Also, can anybody tell me whether the actual Momo-wheels have ball bearings
inside? I remember that they had earlier...

TIA
