Wait for the new Thrusmaster wheel or buy something else?

I used to sim a lot, got tired of it a few months ago and sold my MOMO Force for $40 more than i paid for it. Well now I'm itching to play Rfactor and GTlegends and I dont have a wheel. I saw pcmagazine list the Rallye Thrusmaster wheel as a great gift only they didnt seem to notice there is nowhere to buy it in USA. Is it worth waiting for this wheel? If not, what wheel should I get? Thanks.

Let me direct you guys to the RSC message board, where this wheel has been discussed recently: http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=233300 According to at least one person who owns the wheel and posts there, the Rallye has some driver issues that have yet to be sorted out, resulting in poor FF performance and CPU usage. The actual unit itself is pretty nice construction wise, however. I guess by the time it's available in the U.S., they might have all the driver bugs worked out....we can hope!

Interesting...I am kind of down on the wheels available to us now. Either plop down huge money for a tsw or ecci or we are stuck with the momo (logi). I guess we are kind of forgotten about. Disappointing in my opinion. A nice sturdy wheel with comfortable pedals is all we are asking for. DC

Driving Force Pro, I had the Momo, and like the DFP a lot more. "DC" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
