Well SimRacer, the TSW2 was ok but remember I use my hands for
gas-brake and the TSW2 seemed to be a little 'clunky-ish' big for me.
Now you have to remember I have limited space & my Ferrari wheel
just works perfectly for my needs.
On FF verses Non'FF, One would have been here a year before my
Ferrari but since I must have gas-brake paddles it was awhile before
the TM Ferrari came out, but once it did, it's Aces for me! I cut my
PB GPL times at least a sec on each track in a week... So this dude
will never go back to Non'FF as the FF lets me feel more of what I
would expect to feel in a real car or at least it fools me too!..lol :)
So the TSW2 is fine but the FF & the Ferrari Wheel cant be beat in
my book!! I actually now have one I use and one always in the box
just in case the one I'm using now goes on the blink!! and yes I am
obcessive.. :)
Happy Labor Day 2 U 2 & 2 all the others that celebrate it 2 :)
Cheers -Thom_j.
| Just curious as to why you don't run your TSW any longer? Lack of FF? I
find
| it to be the smoothest wheel I have ever used short of that found in a
Buick
| Park Ave ULTRA or a Caddy, lol. I have sowrn off FF, just a personal
choice.
| I never found it (FF) to be that good in the Papy line anyway, which is my
| primary focus with racing sims. I gave it a fair shot though, had my LWFF
| for about 9 months of hard use.
|
| I still like the Thrustmaster line (regardless of who makes them) I guess
it
| goes to back to my first wheel being that old Thrusty T2. After driving N1
| for 2 weeks with the keyboard, that wheel was like a gift from the
| heavens...one of my league mates is still using that T2 with a 3rd set of
| pots and a 3rd bungy.

| Have a great Labor Day
