Steering Wheel wich works with both PS2 and PC: does it exists?

Im looking for a wheel that works with Playstation 2 and PC too. Some
people said that the Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP do that task,
but in my country is very difficult to find that gadget. The only
wheel easy too find around here is the Microsofts one. But it works
on PS2 too?

I don't know if it does; the only one that I think does is the Logitech you
mentioned.

You can't even order one and get it shipped overseas?

Unlikely.

I use a TM Ferrari wheel which works well on both.

Cheers,
Rod.

thing w/ different colors.

Depends on which PS2 Logi.

The first one, Gran Turismo 3 edition, is identical to the red PC wheel
except it uses gears instead of belts.

The new one just plain SUCKS.  I saw one at a store the other day, the wheel
itself is different, and it generally has a much cheaper feel to it.  They
changed the shifters, too.  I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole,
especially since I've heard it won't work on the PC.

Order the Logitech wheel online. It works very well with both and is
cheaper than anything else.

Hello,

This depends on the software.  If the title in question uses
Immersion's latest SDK, then the ACT LABS Force RS will work with the
PC and the PS2 with the single USB cartridge.  The problem is that not
all racing titles to date for the PS2 have used the latest SDK.

I have a ForceRS with all the bits but I've heard the GT3-A-spec
doesn't support this wheel, right? (otherwise I'm going to bring it
home for a test).

Raymond have you done any testing with your wheel and the PS2? Your
statement is very interesting. I have read more than a few postings
saying that your wheels do not work with GT3 and any other PS2 racing
titles that support the Logitech and Thrustmaster wheels. Do you know
of any specific titles that do work with the Act-Labs?

Thrustmaster NASCAR PRO does both.  Here is my review

Sinjin I read your review of the Thrustmaster and yes it is a fine
wheel, but are you 100% sure it works with Grand Theft Auto 3? The
game has no wheel support AFAIK and I doubled checked with my Logitech
wheel, no dice. If the Thrusmaster works with GTA3 that would be big
news
