I'm finally in the market for a wheel to use with Grand Prix Legends (I
guess a high GPLRank handicap will do that for ya), and I'm wondering if
the non-FF Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Racing Wheel has the same
problems re: framrate hit as the MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel - or
if there are any other problems with the wheel.
Thanks,

I've got the gameport version of the MSFF. I find that it *does* have
slowdown, but *doesn't* have lag (if you set the core.ini properly).

I went out an purchased the MS wheel today. Plugged it in, and
immediately plunged from 36+fps to 20-24fps. Ouch...
There might be a couple of reasons why - see if any make sense (I'm not
the most knowledgeable about these things):
1) The wheel is a USB device. I don't know if the earlier Precision
Racing Wheels were.
2) The new drivers that are shipped with the wheel are the same ones
used for the MS FF wheel - or at least modified in the same way as those
drivers.
3) I'm running in software mode (yeech!), and *any* wheel connected
would cause a dramatic decrease in frame rates.
I'm probably gonna hook up a Voodoo3 sometime soon, so I'm hoping
that'll help. Ah well...

But the afternoon wasn't wasted - I got to watch just about every car in
the Le Mans tour at Nurburgring slip up in the mud. I don't feel so bad
now...
