Build your own force feedback wheel out of arcade components.  The URL is
long so make sure you use the entire thing:

I believe all you'll need in addtion to the mechanics is a control board
from an existing home wheel (logitech, microsoft, etc).

I believe that this is basically the wheel assembly used in Atari Hard
Drivin', (upright cabinet version) which was licensed to Happ.  
Anyone know for sure?

Don't know, but Race Drivin' and Hard Drivin' were two totally kick-ass
games :)

Hi Andrew,

www.sim-***s.com/ has updated their webpage and I found this in the FAQ:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------
Q - Does the Sim-***s Sim Controller Card support Force Feedback?

A - Not at the present time, Force Feedback is in development. Will be an
add-on to the present card.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------

It will hopefully be a good controller card for us who want to build our own
FF Wheels. :)

Using the electronics to a motor that big as on the Happ controller will
need some kind of amplifyer circuit though.
