Logitech FF S/Wheels

Looking for comments on the 2 cheaper wheels. Which one is the one to get? Here in Oz one is $130 and the other is $200. I don't really want to buy the most expensive one if there isn't much diference between them. i want to get Logitech, because I like their gear and I already have a Logitech FF Joystick and I want to be able to use the same software. What do you reckon? Stephen

I've got the cheaper Wingman FF. I use it strictly with GPL. Seems to work OK. I've had it since December, and it's still working. I thought the brake pot was going out, but it was just some lint. It's cheap and feels cheap. The pedals are OK. I use a recommended core.ini file for settings, and it seems to be pretty sensitive to subtle changes in traction. As usual, I'd recommend you get a little more than you think you can afford. You'll be happier in the long run. Jim Stephen Robinson wrote:

Personally i havent tried the momo wheel but if the dif is only $70 I would recommend getting it, it is leatherwrapped and also has the paddleshifters as supposed to large buttons on the cheaper 1, dont know of any other differences, but those are good enough for me if I was in the market for 1, unfortunately I allready have the cheaper 1 and it may be tough to convince the wife that i need a new wheel since this 1 is only a few mth's old "Stephen Robinson" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:sgsE8.134209$[email hidden]...

The cheapest price I have seen the Momo at is $400. Most stores are selling them at around $450. The two wheels Stephen mentions, I'm guessing the cheaper one is not FF as it appears Logitech only make 3 wheels for the PC, shown with Australian retail prices. WingMan Formula GP $129.95 WingMan Formula Force GP $199.95 MOMO Force $499 Tony

Ah yes you may be correct there I have no clue about that. All I know is that here in Canada you can pick up the momo for $250CAD, the Formula force GP for $125-149 and the formula gp is around $79, "Tony Rae" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Fri, 17 May 2002 02:26:51 GMT, "Hans Jensen" <[email hidden]> > wrote: > > >Personally i havent tried the momo wheel but if the dif is only $70 Iwould > >recommend getting it, it is leatherwrapped and also has thepaddleshifters > >as supposed to large buttons on the cheaper 1, dont know of any other > >differences, but those are good enough for me if I was in the market for1, > >unfortunately I allready have the cheaper 1 and it may be tough toconvince

I have the MOMO force feedback wheel as well as the original Wingman Force (not the force GP). The ff in the momo is *much* stronger than the original but both wheels are excellent. Compared to either the GP wheels are just light paperweights. The ff motor in the GP is not as good as in the MOMO and it is a very close call as to whether the original force cable system is as good or better than the MOMO. I think they're pretty even actually (give similar results even though they use different systems). I see at E3 Logitech have announced a rubber wheel version of the MOMO. Might be worth the wait as I do find the MOMO is not as comfortable (it's thicker) as the original Force (rubber).
