Alternatively your friend could try finding a 2nd hand, old model, calble driven LWFF in good condition. Can't possibly go wrong with that one provided he can get used to the pedals.

I've never used this wheel, but it looks kind of cheesy. If I had to have force feedback for minimum price, I'd either get the Microsoft Wingman FF for $120 or the Logitech Formula Force which I think can be found for under $100.

Ever think of that ? Why in the world would he hide the fact that it was actually him who wants the wheel ??

I thought, being a sim racer, meant NOT having friends..... dave henrie "redTed" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:K3h08.10038$[email hidden]...

Don't know what the issue is here the wheel is fine, and the pedals are the nicest I have ever used. > Alternatively your friend could try finding a 2nd hand, old model, calble > driven LWFF in good condition.

I do really like that pedal design as well... makes a lot more sense for trying to simulate regular road cars and such. Mike http://mikebeauchamp.com "Bob Mallett" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:a1sdbs$s64$[email hidden]...

Well, before your post I hadn't read anything about it to merit recommending it, both in games press and on the internet. But fair enough... what other wheels have you tried? -Can you reach the buttons at the top without moving your hands on the wheel? > > <snip> > > The only issue I have with it is that the drives XP are only > in beta, but then again I have had no problems with mine. Everything for XP seems to be "in beta". ;-) Seriously, an oversight on my part. I don't have any intention of upgrading from Win98se anytime soon and so didn't stop to think about possible issues with current operating systems. Jan. =---
