I wonder if Guillemot plans on phasing out the Thrustmaster line of wheels ?
The TM Sprint wheel is marked down $ 30.00. I enjoy having a variety of
wheels with paddles and was wondering if I needed to buy up the Sprint
wheels if they are going to be extinct?

Yes this would appear to be the case with the wheel i got, its got a
single clamp***and that marks it down as a version one wheel....well
its going back tomorrow and i'm hoping i have a lead on a LWFF for next
week. Seems Curry's in the UK have 143 of them in their central
warehouse but are not releasing to the stores for some reason.

The stores i checked had stock on the pc record system that didnt exist!
They grew legs and walked out the store! so central warehouse wont send
new stock as the computer says they still have stock in the stores.

If you get the Logitech FF, the paddles are just right :-)

Mine doesn't seem to wobble or have too much free play.  This may be because
I used the DXTweak program from Logitech at the suggestion of Alison Hines'
page to reduce the deadzone of the wheel to 2%.  This seems to give good
feel.

For those who aren't aware of the utility I got it from:

It gives you access the the DirecX controller settings.

Cheers

These are my OpenGL settings:

[ OpenGL ]
TossHighestMip = 1
MipFiltering = 3
MirrorsEvery = 4

I should also say that I am running at 800 by 600 and have knocked out all
the textures in the mirrors.

The drivers I'm using for the graphics card are version 2.08, dated 2nd
August 1999.
