Hi all,
        I am a new entrant to this group and its great to find other people
who appreciate realism in their "games/simulations", all the arcady players
don't know what they're missing !
        However, I need advice about a proposed wheel system setup that I'm
going to buy. Its all act-labs gear;
the force RS wheel
The clutch system pedals
and the RS shifter (8 gate)

Any one have any opinions on these products ?
are they the best ?
They're expensive enough !!
Also does anyone know of anywhere that sells them in the UK ?? I've checked
on the act-labs website, but their European resellers don't have all the
gear that I'm looking for.

Cheers
Gav

I bought a Act-Labs shifter about 2 weeks ago, took me another week to
get used to it,,best sim purchased I'ved made since my TSW2 wheel.

Once you get used to the shifter you won't want anything else...

Quickest thing I can do is direct you to the review of my Force RS I wrote
at:

and of the RS Shifter at:

I would say that compared to their price - they pretty much blow the doors
of the competition.
(I have not tested the RS wheel - but both the pedals and shifter rocks..)
