Is anyone using the Per4mer wheel and pedals? I had a chance to try
them out and the wheel seems to work pretty well for the price, but
the right pedal didn't work. I had to set up the left pedal as the
accelerator and brake with the button on the wheel. Not the best
setup.

I use the Per4mer wheel with CH pedals. I have had one problem: the
card that holds the steering pot broke the plastic tabs from where it's
mounted inside the plastic case. I took it apart and built metal
brackets to hold the card in place. One other problem I have is that
the plastic thingie that the ball rides in (inside) is starting to wear
out. I plan on building my own wheel and pedals shortly. I've had this
set-up since last June.

I have to say that I bought a Per4mer Turbo wheel to use with GP2, and was
disappointed, when after only a week of (heavy) testing, the plastic
'ball-runner'
inside (which centres the steering wheel), became worn. This then made it
very
difficult to keep to the correct driving line as the problem got worse.

When will companies realise that optical joysticks last a lot longer.
I have now made a fixed steering wheel from a Logic 3 Freewheel
joystick, and a pedal system out of an old PC-OPTIX joystick.
This system has lasted more than a full season of GP2 so far, and is good
enough to qualify me in the top 6 at Ace level. Mind you, I've yet to win
a race, but that's my fault, not the steering system!!

Does anybody know if the GP500 or any of the other steering systems
use optical contacts? If they do, they might be worth the extra money. I'm
reluctant to buy one otherwise.
