Dual PC/PS2 wheel?

I have both a PC and a Playstation 2, and I race on both platforms. I already have a Microsoft Sidewinder FF wheel for my PC, and would like a wheel for the PS2. Is there a steering wheel (preferably FF) that works with both? If so, is it any good? Otherwise, which wheel is best for the PS2? Cheers, Dave -- A girl goes into a bar and asks for a double entendre. The barman gave her one.

The Act Labs Force Feedback works for both (as far as I know). Although you need to buy an addon for the PS2. Have a look at http://www.softwarefirst.com All the best, Ash "Dave Weaver" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

There has been a lot of discussion over the lack of PS2 support by AL on their forum in the last week or so. BTW, congrats on the promotion to div 3.

G'Day Mr Lee :) I thought they said it would be coming out "very soon", perhaps not, but I am sure they are working hard on it :) Thanks, I need to get some practice in in order to make an impression ;) All the best! Ash

Not true. There is no PS2 cartridge for the Act Labs wheels, and right now, they don't plan on supporting FF when they DO release a cartridge.

These wheels work for both (ALL kinds of things on this topic at the High Gear forums...) a.. Thrustmaster Ferrari Force Feedback b.. Logitech Wingman Formula Force http://www.avault.com/hardware/getreview.asp?review=lwffgp c.. Logitech Force GT (GT3 official wheel) d.. http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~hg/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22304 (includes comments on the Thrustmaster wheel also) e.. Logitech Driving Force (needs a registry mod to make it work on the PC) f.. Logitech Momo Force My pick is the Thrustmaster wheel, although I also have the Driving Force "Ashley McConnell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9q19pp$p8c$[email hidden]...

Your best bet is probably the Driving Force from Logitech. This new model has all of the PS2's buttons, so you can use it to navigate thru menus. -- "Life is what you experience between racing games" Galley

Well, we tried some PC wheel for the PS2 at work, and now nearly all the FF wheel except MS ans Saitek use Immersion engines, so if a game support an Immersion FF wheel then other immersion wheel SHOULD work, and the Act Labs USE the Immersion engine...however sometimes if it's not writen PS2 on the box, marketings and/or client will not use/support/buy the wheel because they not sure if it will work. For now IMO only the Sony Speedster 2 and Logiteck Driving Force are OFFICIALY supported... too bad .. too sad ... -- Sebastien TIXIER - Game Developer Dynamics and Car Physics http://www.eden-studios.fr GPLRank Normal:-44.24 Monster:-124.44
