Thanks for the post. I was looking for a new setup and was considering the
Ferrari. Looks like I am still looking. Can't seem to find a good set of
pedels to go with a quality wheel. For a reasonable price.:)

The pedals on the Ferrari are not the problem--they are great with high
resolution.  It's the wheel itself (low resolution) and the bizarre drivers
that seem to work in reverse that are the problem.  And, questionable
quality control so far has been a major issue, too.

Have you considered the TSW?
Mine is almost 6 years old and is in great condition still.  It's one
seriously high quality piece of kit.
They may seem expensive, but if you factor the price over time, they are
more than worth the money =)
You get a lifetime warranty too....

The TSW is probably a great wheel, but it's a wheel of the past.  As force
feedback rapidly evolves and as developers learn to successfully exploit
this technology, then it will be hard to use a non FF wheel.  Thomas at this
point in time is either unwilling or unable to add FF tech to their wheels.
I'm not judging them, simply stating a fact.  I do think that we're on the
cusp of a FF revolution and that a non FF wheel purchase at this time may
not be a wise choice.

Unbelievable.  I'm sorry, but this is without a doubt the most stupid review
I've ever read. I am a fan of firingsquad, but in this case the writer has
absolutely no idea what he's talking about.

Hi Marc, I still get very good resolution on the wheel, and the drivers are
the standard iForce drivers, interchangeable with the Act Labs wheel.
Nothing reversed about them. I can run either wheel with either driver.

Interesting...I wouldn't expect to get no FFB with the settings at 100% and
full FFB with the settings at 0%, but maybe this is normal in some corners
of the globe....??

The wheel resolution is low and Guillemot admits that.  It isn't so low as
to be terrible, but the package would be so much better if the resolution on
the wheel were double what it is.  Then it would be a top-rated wheel for
sure, as it does everything else reasonably well and has all the options at
a decent price.

Gee Marc, that would upset me too. My FF settings aren't reversed and I
checked with a couple other guys who said theirs aren't either. I wonder if
the problem with yours also affects your steering resolution. Seriously,
mine goes right where I point it as good as any other wheel I've owned or
tried, and better than most. I don't know who at Guillemot told you their
wheel resolution is low, but the guy I talk to most there, Phillipe, says
they're proud of the wheel except for a couple embarassing quality control
problems that they are (or have by now) working out.

What settings do you use to get FFB in N3 or GPL.  I have to use the
opposite settings to what are recommended (and have been recommended since
day 1) by Alison Hine, etc....people who very obviously know what they are
talking about.

Please list your control panel and in-game settings and we'll see if any of
the other Logitech and other IForce wheel owners use anything like those
settings.
