Tips so far: I like the wheel return-to-center force set to low. The
wheel is very solid and stable; you'll like it. Prop the back of the
pedals up if you sit at a normal desk chair to play. Make sure there's
something substantial in front so it doesn't slide away. It's not such a
bad compromise: a simply, ugly wooden bracket to hold the cheapie pedals
that came with the $200 wheel. (Fie on thee in Redmond!)
Last, the pedal resolution is 0 - 65 units. That's 66 discrete levels
from full up to full down on each of gas and brake. Check this for
yourself in the GPL calibration and see. I guess it doesn't matter much
that my shins cramp in this position; I can't use the fine motor control
skills to advantage, anyway. (Fie on thee...)
