New Microsoft Force Feedback Wheel?

I am looking for a steering wheel, and was almost buying a Thrustmaster when
I found this:

http://www.racesimcentral.net/

Does anybody know what is behind the logo with the checkered flags. Seems to
me that MS will bring out a force feedback wheel. Just guessing:-)
Anyway I will wait a bit before buying a Thrustmaster.

Anyone who knows about this upcoming device from MS?

Yes Indeed!! In the very near future, There will be Force Feedback Steering
Wheels available for tour PC!! I do believe that MS will have one out
hopefully sometime before X-Mas this year. I think this will be a great
addition for all PC racing fans. But, The Nascar Pro Race Wheel and the
Thrustmaster wheels are also VERY good steering wheels. But, I will be
waiting for the Force Feedback wheel. Good luck on finding the wheel you
want  :)

well, in response to your question about the "Checkered Flags", when you get
a chance take a look at a Chevrolet Corvette.  They are similar twin flags
that has been used since the late 50's.

What happened to Thrustmaster's planned force feedback whee? It is no
longer on their Web site. Also Actlabs Force RS is still coming. If
you don't see it today, forget waiting, I'd buy Thrustmaster's Nascar
Pro racing wheel. The only bummer are the pedals (tolerable).

You are correct. Read http://www.force-1.com for info on this. They have a
picture of it and some specs.
