>>anyone find a link for this wheel in the states? can't seem to find one.

>>DC

for me the timing couldn't be better for a new wheel. I hope we can find
a source.

True....  But they say the site says FF is partly belt-driven which may mean
a very smooth feel for those that think the DFP is notchy (not saying it
is).  Also, it has four paddles, two of which are "progressive."  Excellent
for those that need wheel mounted brake/gas or for those that need a wheel
mounted clutch.  I'm anxious to hear some user feedback though I wonder if
it'll ever come to the US.

I just realized, there isn't any indication of degrees rotation.  Or am I
missing something?

   Since that feature is only available or desirable for maybe one or two
titles,  it probably wasn't a design concern.  I like the ability to lock
two pedal boxes together.  I wonder if not more information would be found
not via Thrustmaster but Guillemott?

I know some question the need for more, but that's a deal breaker for me.
I've gotten used to having ~400 degrees of usable rotation with my DFP.
Perhaps not necessary for open wheelers (300-360's good there), but
definitely useful for tin tops.
