since the December of 98.
When I first got it I had problems with the frame rate. I quickly figured
out the program that is installed with the Drivers for the wheel itself is
the culprit. Particularly JoyEdit which installs itself in your startup
file. Once I deleted JoyEdit from my startup and upgraded to the new drivers
the frame rates greatly improved.
I recently purchased the Act Labs Force RS Wheel with the Shifter. With all
the talk of which wheel to buy and which wheel is the best the fancy new
features that the RS offered finally lured me into buying the wheel and the
shifter. I loved the shifter, loved the looks of the wheel but hated how
the wheel felt when racing. I did not feel that the RS was giving me half as
much feedback as the V4. After numerous efforts with their tech support
finally sent the RS back for a refund. The V4 currently sits on my computer
desk again and proably will for a while.
