Mike,
If your NOT handicapped, I would suggest that you get a "good" wheel and
find a way to make the pedals stay put, and build up your reflexes. heck I
even argue someday you will use the experience you gain, to save your ***
in a real life driving situation. I use a cheap s***piece of paneling,
actually I use 3/8 inch plywood s***and made like a frame that the pedals
slip into the cut out. you could do same or screw- or -glue into the bottom
of the pedals, to keep it the right distance from the wall & orientation,
under the desk.
Reason I said the above? 2 fold. Padles are for formula 1 shifting. So
most wheels wont use expensive analog devices to do a "shift" to passify 90%
of the 'WHeel & Pedals buyer" market. 2nd, Well there is no plausible
argument against a good quality wheel, not EXPENSIVE mind you, just good
wheels that dont spike and run on XP. back when, a couple of companies
tried saving money by not making the pedals in the seperate pod, so they
made the paddles into throttle/brake analog devices. Too bad that 2% or
less of the market was not enough too keep them mfg'n them.
I love the now hard to find MS-Sidewinder Force wheels. My whole team
(XTR_ which is 12 members strong, plus all 3 of my local racer buds) are
converts from MOMO & Thrust-***ic wheels. I admit that sounded like
the new ones from logitech's might be ok, but personally, we all hated the
damn drivers and the way you have to muck with settings that are "NOT"
intuitive, nor with utils that were not easily found, like the direct-x
tweaking thing?
Sure, do it your way, this was just a suggestion, YMMV.
