Microsoft. If I get it will I reasonably enjoy F1 2002 and GPL? Or is
it a better idea to try to get a better wheel?

It is extremely durable. Mine is 2 years old, has been used heavily, and it
shows no signs of wear whatsoever.
The Force Feedback is powerful enough, and the wheel attachment system is as
easy as it gets.
The pedals are, IMHO, the best of the Consumer Class wheels. They are very
comfortable.
If there is a downside, it is the SideWider Profiler software. It hasn't
been updated in a long time.
It works, but there are definitely better software designs out there.
MAKE SURE IT IS A USB VERSION, NOT A GAMEPORT VERSION! I cannot stress
enough the importance of this.
When you install the SideWinder 4.0 software, it will say it isn't
compatible with Win2K or XP. Disregard the notice and install it anyway.
It works fine.
Oddly, Microsoft WHQL certified this software in it's current condition,
even with the above false warning intact. I guess when you write the rules
and own the certification system, you can break the rules no one else is
supposed to :)

Get it, its a very good wheel/pedal setup. Worth the money IMHO

Those who already own them have a right to ***. Those considering buying
one new, well, can't :)
Just get the USB Eldred :)

...and now back to our topic...
The MSFF wheel has been trouble free for almost 3 years for me. Just now
starting to think about upgrading. I have the gameport version and have had
nothing but great experiences with it. I learned to drive the ring with it
and will always say good things about it.
