Is there anyone out there who was happy with the original MSFF gameport
wheel, and has bought a MOMO wheel?
>> Yes
Would you please do a comparison between the two?
>> The most striking difference comes from the ball bearings. This gives avery steady feel and the wheel is very precise. I find the area around
neutral steering very good especially, the MSFF is a bit sloppy there. The
pedals are more or less equal. The Logi calibrates 0-255 as opposed to the
MSFF 1-63 but it is hard to let the pedal reading do increments of 1.
>> Attachment to the desk is slightly better with two clamps vs 1 for theMSFF and the option to literally bolt it down to the desk. The plug can be
taken off the wheel completely for easier removal.
I have the old MSFF wheel plugged into the gameport, and I have had no frame
rate problems, or any problems at all, really. It works well with GP3, GPL
and Viper, which are my main concerns, and I have had no problems whatsoever
in any other games I've tried. The feel of teh wheel and pedals, and force
feedback are great IMO.
>> Consider not changing anything then. The MOMO gives me no frame rateproblems.
I ask, because I really like the look of the MOMO wheel, I'm sure my trusty
MSFF's going to die one day, and I'll need a replacement. The rubber on the
grips is beginning to wear out, and occasionally I get a clicking sound that
I don't like at all.
>> The MOMO is certainly a worthy successor :)
Overall, though, I'm very happy with the MSFF, and I would buy another -
EXCEPT for the fact that they're all USB, now, and I believe that people
have had a lot of trouble getting them to work properly, getting the buttons
to be recognised, and had lower frame rates.
Thanks.
