Hi,

I'm seriously thinking of ordering a TSW2 Modified wheel to replace my
crappy T2. Is there anyone using that wheel with GPL? How is it? I'm also
thinking about adding paddle shifters to it. Would it be worth it? Right now
I'm using T2's stick shifter and steerign with one hand ...

Any input greatly appreciated!

I'm sorta in the same boat as you are. I've ordered my TSW2 Mod and am
anxiously awaiting its delivery in mid-May.

I originally put together my wish list with a Momo wheel and paddle
shifters, but I saw something on the tube that chnged my mind. It was in-car
video of Senna's McLaren at some twisty place, Barcelona maybe. I saw his
right hand dart down to his thigh into and out of the corners. then it hit
me after two turns: He's shifting!

I couldn't realistically afford the paddle kit for the wheel (and yes, I've
unrealistically afforded a few things in the past!) but after I saw that the
cars in '93 (?) still had stick shifters, I decided to go with it. Next tax
time maybe I will get paddles, but until then I am not going to be
disappointed with the stick shifter.

Besides, I'm still using a CH FLightstick, so ANYTHING will be a step up.

I don't have a TSW2, but I have the original TSW, and I had the paddle shifters
installed on it.  I've had it for about 9 months now , and it works great with
GPL and other sims.  The only thing that I had to do was replace the pots a few
weeks ago.  I'm not exactly mechanically-inclined, but once I got the nerve to
do it, it wasn't hard at all.

I absolutely love my TSW2.  What a fantastic, solid, reliable and precise piece
of equipment.  TSW2 is best value on the market.  You won't be disappointed.
Will you be going for the clutch pedal or just the basic 2 pedal?  I own a base
TSW2 and my next upgrade is paddle shifters and split pedal switch.   I won't do
a clutch until they develop a 4 or 5 speed gated shifter.  Now that would be
fun.

Same here, I love my basic TSW2, I have had it for a almost a year now, and
it has been a great controller for me. I too plan on upgrading it this year
to paddle shifters and split pedal switch. The nice thing about this unit,
is it's upgradeability.

Thanks for the input! I'm ordering a TSW2 Modified wheel which comes with
split pedal switch as a standard ... I guess I can upgrade to paddle
shifters later on :). Bad news is that it won't ship until mid-June :(
