Yes, I have a logitech FF wheel. It works really well in GPL I think.
Personally, I like the higher resolution. At first i did 1024x768 and
got 30+ with everything turned on. I just don't care about detail in
mirror and about smoke,dirt, anti-aliasing and stuff like that. Don't
get me wrong, you have to turn all the track objects and crowds on. So
i went to a higher resolution. For races with other cars I might go
back to a lower res.
I wish laptops had a game port. I've been designing a cool wheel/pedal
kit for a couple years now. one that folds and is small enough to
travel with. Just haven't had time or money to finish it. The 5000e
would do ok but it isn't a full 32mb video card. Other problem with
laptops, you have to reach around the wheel to get to the keyboard.
cheers,
