What do people think of them?
Including the new USB models?
How do they compare to the Hypersim units? The old ECCI units?
Redline Race Controls?
Need thorough feedback please. I'm not going to go around tossing
thousands on a unit without some good feedback........
<Gibs> When you kill 6 people in Unreal Tournament
it is "MonsterKill", In Quake3 it is "Excellent",
in Counter-Strike it is "Kicked by console"
I've had mine for 5 or 6 years.
great workmanship, solid, reliable
I have changed the pots a number of times and the unit is as
good today as the day I got it. good pedals.
Cheers

I have friends who use the TSW units and they wouldn't use anything else.
In an effort to save money I bought the Logitech Momo Racing FFB unit. I
have raced on my friends TSW and I like the Momo just as much, if not more.
I have had to do some little fixes to the Momo, such as tightening the gas
pedal and tightening the steering, but the small amount of time wasn't much
of an inconvenience. Based on service and long-term durability I would
recommend the TSW, but if you are looking to save money and want a unit that
is just as good as the TSW go with the Momo. You might have to replace a
few parts every two or three years, but IMHO, it is better to do that and
spend $90 bucks initially rather than spending $400 or more initially.

That gives me the sturdiness and reliability of a TSW wheel combined
with the same reliability and excellent "feel" of the RedLine pedals

That said, I have the best of both worlds: I have a MOMO FF wheel and TSW
pedals. Plus a spare MOMO FF wheel in case the first one dies.

I have a TSW2mod, and I think it's a great unit. However, I can only compare
it to the Thrustmaster T2 I had before. I'm not *about* do drop $1000 on a
wheel, even if I *could* afford it.

Hey Stuart
What do you use now?
How does it compare to the TSW - (as good I presume or you wouldn't have
swithced)
Do you want to get rid of the old wheel?
Cheers
<MM>

If I can't get the pedals to work, yea, I'll get rid of it, but its so old
that I doubt anyone would want it, and if they did, I can't guarantee I have
all the parts or that it even works.
