Anyone using one of these wheels, Force or regular? Looking for some
feedback on the wheel.

Thanks in advance

I tried one (non-FF) out at a store display.  I would rate the wheel part of
it as substantially better than my T3, but the pedals substantially
inferior.  No gear shift is also a major problem.

I have the Formula Force, and recommend it.  The wheel design is nearly
perfect; it is very comfortable, and the shifters are easy to access.  The
pedals aren't the greatest, but you can increase the tension on the
accelerator by installing a $2 spring.  It does feature split-axis on the
pedals, unlike the Force RS.  It comes with F1RS, which, like most people
here, you probably already own, as well as the full version of "Motorhead",
which isn't even available in the U.S., yet.  It's a great arcade racer.
You can read a review at http://www.avault.com/
Another factor in my decision was the fact that it has a USB connection.  I
have a DexDrive in my one and only serial port.  The profiling software is
easy to use, and soon, with a patch, you'll be able to assign either split
or combined axis' on a game-by-game basis, whereas now it is global.

I own one and it is great.  Good FF effects, feels like a real wheel with
the *** coating, and is very accurate and solid feeling.  Pedels do suck,
but I have not yet installed a new spring.  It does not run under DOS though
for NROS, although I have not heard of any newer FF digital wheels that work
on NROS.

The reviews I have read have been positive except for weak FF effects.  How are
they now with the lastest drivers from Logitech?
