I' m not familiar with the T2 setup but I just got the CH VirtualPro
Pedal and Wheel setup (you also should have a CH Gamecard Auto3). So
far I've been able to beat all my previous track times at every track
in Nascar Racing. It also works just as well with all my flight sim
programs. It's not as cheap as the T2 setup but the results were worth
the extra money.

> >See ya....I have the T2 and am in love with it. Best 100 bucks I have spent in a

long time. I only wish I had done it sooner. I have always been
fanatical about driving simulations, but annoyed at using keyboard or
joysticks. Now driving simulations are pure pleasure.
I do have one problem with it though. If anyone out there has
a good solution I would appreciate it. The little *** squares that
go on the bottom of the pedals came off, so now if I have to slam on the
breaks for anything, the pedals slide on the floor. Anyone know a good
way to re-stick them on there, so they will stay forever? Thanks.

Is that enough? I could give more.
