Can you test the wheel with latest wingman drivers for PC, to see if it
works?. It says its got support for the wheel now on PC, but i want to know
if the extra keys on the wheel works too?. Would be great if they did!

To get the wheel to work I just plugged the USB into the PS2. So far I've
only tried it on two games-- Gran Turismo and World Rally Championship.
Those are the only two racing titles I own for the PS2.

I think you mean the wheel created for the PS2 right ?
If so then the answer is yes.
The latest version of the wingman software (down loadable from Logitech)
allows control of everything; all buttons and split or combined axis.
I have had no problems with it in GPL, F1 2001 & 2002, Nascar Season 2002,
LFS and of course GT3.

One is the older one, the one that came out when GT3 was new; I have this
one and I can verify that it works great. The computer thinks it's the LWFF
red wheel.
I also have a LWFF red wheel (which I picked up later for less than half of
what I paid for the Driving Force) and the PS2 thinks it's the Driving Force
wheel. Electronically, they're identical.
There is the newer Driving Force, though, that has PS2-style buttons. It
looks and feels cheaper to me; and I thought I'd heard that it wasn't PC
compatible anymore.
Best bet for dual compatibility: Get a red wheel from eBay.

Do you have any problems with shifting and turning at the same time?
I read the customer reviews on this page, http://tinyurl.com/1umn, and
they seem to have this problem. Maybe it's only with PS2.
I'm thinking about getting the LWFFGP, but if the PS2 Driving Force
works on PC, I might go for that, since it seems to have more buttons.

The reason I use the Driving Force in the first place is that I need to use
the wheel mounted paddles (normally used as shifters) as the accelerator and
brake because of my physical limitations. (can't use pedals) So I drive
mostly an automatic transmission.
I have not noticed any problems when acceleratng or braking in a turn but
then again if you are in a situation where you have to brake or accelerate
while near full lock you have more problems then just a glitch in the
equipment. ;o)

Actually my Driving Force did come with pedals. I bought it about 6-8 weeks
ago so maybe we are talking different models here.
The paddles are really great for analog stuff (accelerator and brakes) but
probably some of the 10 other switches ( + D Pad ) would be better for gear
switching. There are 2 positioned perfectly for thumb use. The throw length
of the paddles might be a bit long.
I originally bought a Thrustmaster Modena 360 (again because it has analog
paddles ) but kept breaking the paddle springs (about 2 weeks of use). Went
throught three of them (on warranty) before giving up and getting the DF.
Much happier now.

Being specific is significant since you're apparently the first to report
that the "OLD" LWFF works with a PS2. I'm guessing you have the later model
and didn't perform any LWFF miracles? ;0)

The only thing i diskliked which was much worse then the LWFFGP is the
paddleshifter. WHY did they remove the buttons for teh shifting?, those
paddles stinks imo. I loved that it was buttons :/.. maybe i can make a
hybrid with my old LWFFGP and the new driving force.. taking the backside
from my old wheel, and the new front ..
