Uh oh... here it comes.  <VBG>

MY OPINION ONLY - which was not bought or influenced by free product.

It really depends on your budget.  If you can afford $250 and up, Thomas
Superwheels (TSW) offer some excellent wheel variations to suit almost any
preference.  The caveat here being, they do not offer ForceFeedback.
(http://www.thomas-superwheel.com).

If you are more in the $250 and under budget and want ForceFeedback, I
recommend the ACT-LABS Force RS wheel and RS Shifter combo which can be had
for $189.00 from their site. (http://www.act-labs.com).  This is the combo I
personally use.

You can read my review of the ACT-LABS Force RS and RS Shifter at

Ditto on ACT labs... I just broke my saitek (not bad but not super
solid - obviously), and got a Force RS today. Very very nice,
especially the pedals which stay put !!! And you don't need the shifter
add-on for F1 games anyway, which brings it down to $150....

Some newer wheels have problems with GP2 so choose carefully.

Well, he mentioned Force Feedback so that might eliminate the TSW <G>

TSW---it will be there for generations to use---its made of steel --- not
plastic.

If you dont buy it now--youll buy it after the plastic ones.

I had Thrustmaster Nascar Pro for a year. Two time changed pots, once brake
spring and wait many days for parts to be delivered. Than almost year ago I
bought TSW+paddle shifter. Never looked back. It's built to last, it's
precise and you have lifetime warranty. Save yourself money/time and skip
plastic toys if you are serious about sim driving.

Is MSFF really optical?  I have the Act-Labs RS FF wheel.  It does use pots
for wheel & pedals.



x-no-archive: yes

I have a MSFF, and like it, but when it needs replacing I will consider the
Act-Labs wheel. Is the wheel optical like the MSFF?
