Spoke to the guys at BRD ( http://www.racesimcentral.net/ ) who
manufacture and develope the F1 Sim Wheel and Pedals units (the best for
under 200).  They said they've got a ForceFeedback wheel pencilled in for
release next March.  It will most likely be a replacement rather than an
upgrade to the wheel, as they said they couldnt fit a powerfull enough motor
into the F1 Sim wheel shaft.  The current force feedback system they have
employed in their full size cars (see web site) is 3 times the width of the
F1 Sim wheel shaft.  They also said that they will include an analogue
paddle on the wheel to complement the digital paddles (so we can finally
have a descent clutch on the wheel as well as digital gear up/down)

and thats all the news ive got for you today....

That's great news.  I wrote them a year ago asking about FF and they said it
probably wouldn't be until early 2000.  I honestly didn't think they were
going to do it, but I'm glad they didn't give up.
