ebworld.com has 23 Dec as the date thet they'll begin shipping this FF
wheel.

Anyone who own one please post your initial thoughts on this wheel.  

1) Recalibration issue.
2) Analog pots or digital.
3) Strength of forces.
4) Availability of centering force. (for non FF sims)
5) Gameport/USB/Serial.
6) Pedals sensitivity. (The springs!)
7) Cable vs Gear mechanism

8)Most important, would it work in GPL ?

regards,

Jon Dento

No problem here.

Anologue.

Variable, Max is V. Strong.

Adequate, better than my T2 which I had before.

USB or Serial.

Sensitivity is good.  I would prefer the pedals to have stronger springs.

NO!!  I am in discussion with Thrustmaster and Sierra Tech support on this
issue.  It would appear it can work as Thrustmaster have it working.  But it
won't work for me and at least two other people I have heard from.  It
causes GPL to crash.
(And there is no force feedback in GPL, if that is what you meant.).

Regards,

Jon.

Hello,
ebworld has no mention of this wheel anymore at their site. Does
anyone know why ? Is there some serious flaws with this wheel ?

No flaws that I am aware of (aside for some driver issues with GPL) and
that a large portion of the shipment TM received from their manufacturer
site didn't include power cables (thus delaying shipment).
