Thanks guys,
TSW has stopped making a wheel with analog hand controls (would
have been out of my price range anyway). I noticed the Guillemot
Ferrari FF had two sets of paddels but I wasnt sure how you could
shift and throttle/brake with your hands with those controls in one
location (I didnt think you could use the thumb buttons for shifting
because of their location and I think one of them is a hat switch ?).
Anyway, after reading Andy`s post I now have a very good idea of
what this wheel would be like to live with and I think I "might" like it.
The only downside is that it may be a little out of my price range, and
I dont have a real need for FF. That brings me to this question: Would
you guys happen to know if the Thrustmaster Nascar Pro Digital Racing
Wheel`s paddle shifters are analog ?. If not I may just get the Sprint, it
seems like a good wheel for the very low price....and I would only be
using the floor pedals for fun arcade races anyway.... I need hand
controls for serious racing ;) I could always use the Sprint until
something comes out that I really like.
All the best,
Lorne
