best wheel for GPL ?

by Norber » Tue, 17 Nov 1998 04:00:00

I am just looking for the best wheel at low price for GPL (Less than 250 $)

I think that I need :

1 - Separate Thottle/Brake Axes

problems)
3 - at least 2 buttons in front of the wheel to change view (look left and
right)

4 - Robust wheel
5 - Usable on SB Game port or ACM game port or USB

Does the ACT Lab RS have all this requirement ?
Does the ACT Lab Force RS worth the price (for other games like monaco GP) ?

I actually own a Thrustmaster T2 and I am very annoyed with wheel
potentiometer. I just need better precision and more buttons on the wheel.

Any Idea ?

>1 - Separate Thottle/Brake Axes

Not right now - single axis only.  From what I understand,
though, a driver update might allow split axis pedals.


>problems)

No again.  But spraying some cleaner in the pot fixes it.

Tons of buttons on the RS and Force RS.  12 programmable
positions, I believe.

I have had zero problems.  The RS wheels _feel_ better
than any others I've tried.

USB cartridge coming soon.

Both wheels are worth more than they are priced, IMO.

Don't have the particulars, but Thrustmaster is readying a "Digital"
version of the NASCAR Pro, with extra buttons.  Check their webpage and
send them some e-mail...
