Racing Wheel Suggestions?

by Silver Drak » Sat, 24 Oct 1998 04:00:00

Hello everybody.
I'm thinking about buying a racing wheel for my PC. I've looked around
and found some interesting things, about which I'd like to know your
thoughts (and tests, if possible).
ACT Labs RS
Guillemot Force Feedback (one with silver inner part)
ThrustMaster Nascar Series (I don't know what changes are between models
except for Force Feedback)
Logitech Wingman Formula/Formula Force
They all seem good equipment, and I like racing and realism but I'm no
racing maniac; I'm interested in "resistance", precision and software
support (mainly GP2, F1RS, GPL).
Thank you in advance.

See you,

The most desired unit is a Hyperstimulator, a kit with a wheel, pedals,
plans and hardware to build a***pit runs $1500 +. A TSW or ECCI is
$500-$800. As for the ones you and I can afford I like the Thrustmaster Pro.
It has a stick shift and wheel buttons and is well supported, it's
reliability is fair. Force feedback is still not perfected or supported in
the major sims you mentioned. Whatever you get, get it from a local store
that will take returns, keep trying until you find one you like.
Good luck, John
