>DEJAVU!

Of course I am not saying people are wusses because they cannot
afford a FF wheel. $200 for my Logitech FF is a huge cost, I realize
that. I was referring more to the fact that FF can make things harder.
You can scrape walls with normal wheels and not wipe out. With the
FF you get thrown to the other side of the track and usually wipe out.
So in the end you are forced to drive a cleaner line. These are the
reasons for my "real men/women" comments not because someone
can't afford one. That would be asinine on my part...

P.S. The FF effects I am referring to are in F1RS at Monaco.

It was a joke - lighten up.  Mr. Hakkanen and I go

I knew you didn't really mean it :). I was basically just joking around. But
according to what Mr. Dotson, for example, has been saying about FF in GPL,
I just might have to get myself a FF wheel. But right now I'm saving all my
money for a trip to the Ring with myt bike in July :D

If the FF in GPL is simply banging and crashing effects (like scgt and
to a certain extent F1RS) I will pass on GPL. If you can feel the wheel
loosen up as you loose grip, and feel other inertial effects I'll probably
have to check out GPL and show you wusses how to drive :-)

Not until the patch is released and it is proven to model more
than bumps on the track and hits with other cars.

I don't do hype...
