- New Thrustmaster Rallye Force GT Pro wheel 2005-11-21 · 23 postsA poster asked about Thrustmaster's newly released Rallye Force GT Pro, with five axes and ball-bearing steering. Users noted it was available in the UK but hard to find in the US, and that it resembled the Logitech Driving Force Pro. Its 240 degrees of rotation was considered a drawback by some; the thread also touched on the Xbox 360 launch.
- Randy Cassidy's force feedback timing tests across wheels 1999-05-18 · 25 postsPapyrus's Randy Cassidy shared measurements of how long it took to issue force feedback commands on various wheels, noting that the Microsoft FF wheel's MIDI gameport link was slow and a USB version would help. He said the USB Thrustmaster Force GT was slowest but cautioned against blaming USB itself, and he could not test the Logitech in USB mode under Win95 or get the ACT Labs wheel recognised. Pat Dotson suggested an IRQ conflict for the ACT Labs wheel.
- GPL 1.1 patch slowdown tied to force feedback overhead 1999-07-14 · 29 postsA user found GPL 1.1 unplayable with a 'treacle' slowdown that disappeared when force feedback was disabled. Others pointed to Randy Cassidy's earlier measurements of how many CPU cycles each force feedback effect costs on the Microsoft, Logitech and Thrustmaster wheels, with MIDI-based wheels being far slower. The thread ended in a minor spat between Greg Cisko and the original poster over sarcasm.
