Please could anybody recommend a good steering wheel and footpedals as i
am looking to buy a new one.Force feedback would be nice but not
essential but definately it must have gear change paddels behind the
wheel. Thanks. Andy.
I like my new MS Sidewinder FF wheel very much. It does not have paddles behind
the wheel, but it does have two large rectangular buttons, which work as well
as paddles for me.
Regards,
Krabby

Thanks.
The software has two modes for gas and brakes. Using the advanced
setting you do get different axes for gas and brakes, which lets you
tap the brakes in the corners. Also handy are four buttons on the
wheel face (one of which can be used for reverse).
Overall, it's a great wheel for the money (so far).

TM has made some design changes under the hood for the Super Sport.
They have stressed tested the springs through millions of cycles and
they seem to be holding up pretty well. The shaft design for this wheel
has changed also. Regarding the pedals, they can be configured via
Windows to operate in combined or separate mode (seperate is the default
DOS mode). I think the new design changes should hopefully dispell the
broken spring syndrome associated with TM products.

Also, with windows programs, you can use the paddles for a total of six
buttons (if the program supports it -- GPL does) if you also use the
pedals.

It's so good that I recently upgraded my 3 year old, perfectly
functional CDS, to the new top of the range CDS4000 model with Momo
wheel and behind the wheel paddle shifters. There's also a pressure
sensitive brake pedal upgrade which you can have fitted that I highly
recommend.
