Hi all,

It's time to replace my aging gameport based MSFF wheel.

What do you recommend as an affordable replacement?  Any issues to be
aware of with USB etc...

Cheers

Mike

Hi Mike,

Get a Logitech Driving Force PRO  ... It works great on a PC.

And if you can find one they're very cheap in the UK - I paid 30 for
mine a couple of months ago, at which point they promptly dropped to
20.

Hmmm...my ancient Logitech Wingman Formula Force wheel (all-red ***
covered) is still working like a champ.  ;)  It was USB from day one.

If you're not going to get a Logitech MOMO Raching wheel, I would say
a good-condition Original Formula Force isn't a bad alternative.

And pretty cheap on ebay. :)

"> Hi Mike,

Hi Daniel,

Will be getting this wheel for Xmas for my son :) for his PS2
at the moment I use the old red logi on my pc.

Just wondering will I have to download different drivers or
can I use the same ones as old red? Could you let me know which
drivers you use.

Also if I d\load different drivers will it mess up the ones for old red
wheel.

Tia
Regards Phil.

Hi Phil,

it's the same driver, since its a familydriver for all MOMO, Driving Force
and Formula (force) GP  Wheels.

If you need to reinstall, just click every time like you would download for
the MOMO-Racing Force. The Driver will fit perfectly.

Since it has a USB connect, do you know if the Logitech MOMO wheel
will work with a PS2?  

Saw one at Best Buy and I liked the wheel's grip/feel and especially
liked the little spikes in the pedal unit to keep it from moving
forward.

Thanks

Zuke,

the Driving For Pro do have the same pedals. As I have heard, the black /
dark grey Momo will not work on the PS2 , but the red leather Momo is
working fine.

Sounds like its better to grab a driving force pro ...
