Just purchased Thrustmaster's T2 wheel/pedal combo last night
for $149. Got the Nascar Track Pack and ICR2 also.
I liked the steering wheel immediately. That's what I've
wanted for 2 years now. The foot pedals, however seemed
really slippery. I had to take my socks off and go barefoot.
Anybody else do this? Howabout wearing shoes? Anyways, it
also slid around a lot on the carpet. I put the *** sticky
feet on the bottom and it helped, but it still pivoted to the
right as I pressed the gas. I'd also like the brake to be
further away from the gas pedal. I'd rather use my left foot
for braking instead of heel-toeing or letting off the gas
totally. There is an empty slot all the way to the left and
looks like it could accept a pedal. Anybody know what that's
for?
I need to log more time before I can pass judgement on it. I
love the steering and shifting. I just push/pull on the stick
with my right pinky to shift. It's so smooth! I need to see
if this affects any of my setups, since I've been using a
joystick for 2 years now.
Glad I found this newsgroup last week. I just stumbled onto
it and I've found all the info to be very helpful. That's
how learned of the T2 and Hawaii. I might soon check out the
Hawaii thing, but am worried about the silly crash stuff. Any
net wisdom is greatly appreciated!
