The last thing I remember was that the Act Labs wheel was the one to have,
but that's from way back when!
Thanks

spot on, thanks!

Check the date on any AL wheel reviews. They changed the cartridge around July
2001 for the worse (steering resolution is just awful). If they say the
steering is smooth and precise then it's either an earlier wheel or they don't
know what they are talking about. Watch out for the logitech wheels as well,
the original Momo was much better than the 2nd version.

So whats the current fave wheel these days then ?
Better in what way ?

The original red Momo seems to be the one to get, if FF is a must. These may be
getting hard to find these days.

Yes apparently the pedals are better as is the accuracy of the wheel. Its also half the price and has no leather on it so I'm quite
tempted actually!
I actually found a place that will ship these to the UK/Europe from Denmark, as for the US I dunno its still listed on logitech's
website so I presume you can still buy it.
Yeah does seem pretty good value at that price, unfortunately after the whole Microsoft/Saitek debacle I aint touching one with a
barge pole!
Can you (or somebody) explain to me what this is about? -- Mario
Don't panic!
Basically Saitek released a FF wheel a while back that was powered by 'Microsoft Force Feedback' technology. After this partnership
was ended, Saitek dropped all support for the wheel (apparently cos of licensing issues with Microsoft), which included developing
drivers so the damn thing would work with 2000/XP. So unless you wanted to use Windows 9x you were stuck with a very expensive and
usless lump of plastic and metal.
Hardly an issue if you have a current Microsoft/Saitek wheel, but it pissed me off no end so I'm not buying another wheel from
either of them again!
Oh! Thanks, : ). -- Mario
But I aplaud your resolve, long time ago I felt very strongly about
something, hell I even tried a hunger strike, but back then mom just whipped
my arse, so I have not attempted to be a 'radical' since :)
