Key threads
- Choosing a force-feedback wheel for precision in GPL 1999-12-22 · 22 postsKarl Zosel asked which force-feedback wheel offers the most precision for GPL. Shumi said the Logitech had the best positioning resolution, with Act Labs close behind, and explained that USB wheels digitise their potentiometer signals. Scott Husted urged owners to ask Papyrus to support the Act Labs RS shifter, which worked only in sequential legacy mode.
- Is oversteer overdone in Sports Car GT 1999-04-28 · 36 postsA player complained that any oversteer in Sports Car GT ended in an unrecoverable 180-degree spin. Others said slides could be caught with less countersteering, blamed low frame rates or setup, and argued that modern slicks break away more suddenly than GPL's bias-ply tyres. Critics also listed missing features such as tyre temperatures and lap lists, while SCGT fans praised its LAN play and split times.
- Alison Hine's force feedback guide for GPL 1999-08-30 · 21 postsAlison Hine announced a new page on her Eagle Woman GPL site comparing the Logitech and Microsoft force feedback wheels, with tips on GPL force feedback settings. Readers praised it, though Microsoft wheel owners defended their wheel against her view that it was poor in GPL. Others found her Logitech settings too light, leading to speculation about different wheel versions and driver revisions.
- Poll of the best wheel and pedals for GPL 1999-11-15 · 43 postsJazzbo ran an informal vote for the best wheel and pedals under $500 for Grand Prix Legends. The Logitech Wingman Force Feedback led, usually with replacement pedals, followed by TSW, Advantage 1, ECCI CDS4000, Act Labs Force RS and the Microsoft Sidewinder FF. Rob Gerwald of Advantage 1 described plans to expand production and possibly reach the US.
