I recommend the Logitech Momo Force, if you can find one. The force
feedback in GPL is so good, it's a sin not to use it!

I've just bought a Momo Force, I've got to agree with Gerry the wheel is
excellent. However the pedals are just plain awful.
I'm going to try a squashball type mod because the wheel is too good to give
up on just because of the pedals.

Not many people like the Momo's pedals. My solution was to buy a set of
Redlines. The secret is to mix & match, find a wheel and pedal set you
like, and mate them up.

You can't go wrong with a Microsoft Sidewinder FF.

The old type Logitech MOMOs are nice wheels but can be hard to get to 'feel
right' in GPL and have poor pedals.

Imo the 'ideal' setup would be an old school Logitech Wingman FF with a
bearing kit and a set of BRD Speed7 pedals.

Do you have any old pedals laying around that you rather would use with your
new momo?
Take a look at http://www.tytlandsvik.no/momo/ if you want to see how the
pedals are wired. If you have a pair of MS Pedals, they are a "Plug and
Play" fit with the adapter mentioned.

Can explain me better WHY are Momo pedals poor ( I'm only interested in
GPL ) ? And what do you think about ACT-LABS performance pedals always in
GPL ?

Thanks

The Momo pedals have a very small range of movement. Plus I personally hate
the swiveling pedals. The MS Sidewinder pedals were far superior.

I did the squash ball mod, and it did make the brake feel better, but I'm
still looking for a replacement for the pedals. The wheel itself is superb.
It just took some time to get the core.ini settings right.

The price, however...

well, I'll swear by the actlabs performance pedals. theres only one
downside, and that is the springs, which tend to break rather quickly.
Saying this, i found that their customer service was excellent, and new
springs were on the way really quickly :D

I have FF wheels from Microsoft, Logitech, and ThrustMaster (Guillemot).
My favorite is the Act-Labs Force RS w/ Performance Pedals.
You can't go wrong with that combination. It's great!
In fact I bought 2 of 'em.
...Just my opinion >;)

Wow.. that's the most excessive thing I've ever seen. Granted, it is really
amazing looking.. but I mean.. force feedback is an option, but front wheels
and a fake engine in the back comes standard??

I'm sure something just like this.. (a***pit setup, with a racing seat and
the same wheel and pedals) could be made for wayyyy cheaper if you leave out
stuff like SUSPENSION! :)

I came across the latest MS Sidewinder FF wheel (with red *** grips on
the sides) on sale for $60 one morning. I couldn't find any bad reviews
for it on-line that day, so I bought it that evening. I'm very pleased
with it, works very well, I really have no complaints. The clamping system
works very well, it's noiseless, forces are smooth and strong enough and
the pedals aren't bad at all.

Check it out because although this was a sale price, I think MS did in fact
reduce the price on this latest revision of their FF wheel.

Speed7's baby!

Wait, I take it back.. looking at the site, I realized that those huge
mockup things are meant for corporations to buy for like, trade shows and
stuff.
