Is anyone driving F1-2001 with an ActLab RS (NFFB) wheel........?

cause I would like to buy the sim, but the wheel doesnt work with F12000CS....so Im hesitant to have another game I cant do anything with..........thanks for any help -- Greg31

Upgrade to the ActLabs FF wheel. You'll be glad you did. "Greg31" <greg@.NOSPAM.com> wrote in message news:6H3x7.105280$[email hidden]...

well Todd that would be a great idea...if I hadnt JUST BOUGHT THIS WHEEL :-) (plus Im not a big FF fan) I had a ProDigital that I gave my son thinking my ActLAbs wheel was the answer......and it will be IF the new ActLabs pedals ever ship!! Its just that I would like to do modern F1...and being in the good ole USofA ...F1/2001 is about my only hope....but as I said if it wont turn...it wont be much fun!!

Greg31 - I hear ya! $$ is a consideration. I made this statement after having own(ed) both ActLabs wheels. For me the FF wheel is much better, even if I turn the FF off. It is much smother (doesn't run on those bungee cord things) and it calibrates by simply steering the wheel when you are on the desktop (the computer desktop!!). Anyway, I think it is worth the $$ to upgrade. I'm done - I sound like a damn advertisement.

Guys..I have a few wheels here..problem with my ACT labs force rs is that I can't get that darn software to work smoothly. I prefer to plug it into a serial port but i kept on getting conflicts. Then with USB the drivers load funny. Tried 123 drivers and the new pre June 2001 ones? any advice? Dave Todd Sorensen <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:gtqx7.146972$[email hidden]...

David, I wish I could help you directly. I recommend emailing ACT labs. They have always been extremely helpful to me when I had problems with my first ACT labs wheel. Have you tried this route?

Well since I started this little post I will say...I contacted ActLabs regarding the original problem with my NonFFB wheel (RS) not working with F1/2000CS....their email reply was to "get the game patch" ...of which I havent seen anywhere, addressing controller issues anyway....I have their latest drivers etc...still no luck...and F1/2000CS is the ONLY game that wont work with this wheel!!! (you see I wanted to try F1/2001 but not if I cant turn:) Its odd that I saw a thread earlier this week burning on Guillemot...(was Thrustmaster)...they were always MORE than helpful, though it was with other issues, I wish I could say the same for ActLabs concern, not to mention the LONG delay in getting the clutch system to replace the less than adequate pedals they ship with their wheels...and the lack of dual axis on them as well. Ok my rant is over...just my experience...your mileage may vary :) Greg31 Todd Sorensen wrote in message ... >David, I wish I could help you directly.
