1) They are going to ship the first shipment starting on Wednesday
     11/4/1998. They were supposed to ship last week but they did
      not have the cartons until this week.

2) I ordered mine 2 weeks ago, and think I am in the first shipment.
     At the time I was told that the stores would not have them until
     several shipments went out the door. This could possibly mean
     after Xmas, so I preordered mine. With a 30 day money back
     garrantee I have nothing to lose.

3) The full voice mail is because the owner of that mail box was at
     a trade show on Monday. If you were to call tomorrow, you should
     get through.

4) Also as a last resort definately contact the Actlab operator. She had
     all this cool info I am giving.

5) I can evpect my Force RS in the middle of next week :-)

Keep trying. I am 100% sure this one is a winner.

I'll tell you what you do.  You place an order from their sales line
about a month ago for their RS wheel (non FF) and then wait patiently
while the thing never arrives.  Then you call their sales line solid
for a week and get nothing but FULL voice mailboxes!  

These guys are a joke.  I'm still waiting for them to get back on the
whereabouts of my wheel.  All they know is that it shipped about three
weeks ago.  Where it is, no-one seems to know....

I'd check if I were you!.. and by the way, some other people were complaining
about the "sales people", well actually its the "sales PERSON" there is only one
guy on sales, thats Brian, so belive it or not you are actually talking to the
same person each time! Man, and talk about the left hand not knowing what the
right hand is doing, the sales guy didn't even know what a "dual axis control"
was, he had to check with the other guys in the office to see if it was
supported, which it isn't. Still though, I'm remaining optimistic about the
quality of the wheel. If you can get around the sales problems I think that
you'll be happy with the wheel... but don't vouch for me or anything, I just
read the reviews... Perhaps we should diplomatically let ACT Labs know about our
concerns?

Well I called and confirmed my order number. The wheel is shipping
on Monday. So there :)

This is my second choice.

OK this is a basic thing to do as instructed my the FrcFeedB.txt file in
the \ubisoft\f1rs directory. Are you saying that the MS wheel gives
all the subtle effects which are laid out in this file? I thought only
I-Force wheels would do this. I also heard the MS wheel only gave
FF effects if you crashed into something or hit bumbs. That is a
far cry from the full suite of effects claimed available in F1RS in
FrcFeedB.txt. F1RS is the only game I want a FF wheel for. So
if the wheel doesn't give full effects then forget it. And that Mad
Catz FF wheel is out of the question...

Wow, sounds like you are a personal friend of Bill Gates or something. After
buying Cart Precision Racing and being extremely disappointed I do not trust
Microsoft AT ALL when it comes to games and *** devices. Especially
steering wheels!!

I called ACTLAbs last night and talked to Brian. They still do have my order
and it should be at my house on Tuesday to Thursday. I actually sent a ***
e-mail to Brian, the guy in charge of marketing and the President of ACTLabs
the night before last. Now I just hope I get my wheel before they read
those!!!!! :)
