Well, I'm just getting started in virtual racing with N3 and GPL.  Being a
hard-core flight-sim nut, I realize the need for quality controllers.  I've
also come to the conclusion that all my flight control gear makes very poor
race car controllers :) So I'm in the market for a decent wheel and pedals.
Force feedback would be nice, but is not a requirement, USB is a plus, and
digitial is almost a must -I've had too many frustrations with spiking and
cheap pots with my flight control gear over the years. My target price range
is about $150-180 for wheel and pedals.  Recommendations?

I have the Logitech Formula Force USB which is within your
price range. Plus it works great in the 2 games you mention.

Hmmm...

I don't think there is an easy answer to your question.

I did some hunting around last night and have my eye on the ACT Labs Force
RS or the Logitech Formula Force.  How do the 2 stack up and what are
people's experiences with them?
