- ECCI returning to consumer wheels; FF versus damping debate 2003-07-02 · 33 postsLarry Lindstrom reported that ECCI's Andy told him the company would return to the consumer market with a new wheel. This led to a debate between owners of ECCI fluid-damped wheels and force feedback advocates over which gives more realistic feel. Steve Smith later mentioned ECCI's upcoming Trackstar pedals at about $200.
- Best wheel and pedals regardless of cost 2000-07-23 · 22 postsA user asked for the best non-force-feedback wheel and pedals at any price. Suggestions included TSW wheels, Redline pedals from New Zealand, used ECCI units on eBay and a full Hyperstimulator cockpit. The thread moved to ideas for building cockpits from kart chassis or steel tube and using projectors.
- Microsoft or Logitech force feedback wheel? 2000-03-03 · 21 postsA UK buyer asked for a straight answer between the Microsoft and Logitech force feedback wheels. Replies praised Microsoft's pedals but noted its CPU and frame-rate hit in GPL, while others preferred Logitech's smoother feel or recommended ACT Labs and Guillemot. He bought the Logitech after a narrow vote.
- Steering jitter with Thrustmaster wheels in GPL 1999-01-16 · 45 postsMarc Collins reported his Thrustmaster wheel shaking in GPL despite replacing the potentiometer. Others blamed worn or contaminated pots, soundcard gameports, especially Creative's PCI cards, and driver settings, and suggested contact cleaner, dedicated gamecards like the PDPI L4, and calibrating with the generic driver. Marc found an older SB16 largely cured it.
- Opinions on Microsoft, Logitech and other force-feedback wheels 1999-04-03 · 24 postsA UK buyer asked which force-feedback wheel to choose. Opinions ranged from Eric Busch's view that every FF wheel on the market felt poor mechanically to strong recommendations of the Logitech wheel, with the Microsoft wheel described as accurate but notchy and the Saitek R4 offered cheaply refurbished. Most agreed only Viper Racing currently used FF well, and a side argument arose over whether GPL's steering is oversensitive.
