I had an LWFF but it broke, a MOMO Force, but I sold it. I would like a new wheel so I can get into RFactor. Preferable something easy to detach from the desk. What do you recommend ?
Like my Microsoft wheel but I don't think you can find them anymore ..... had mine for 2 years, I race 2 nights a week and it still works like the day I got it.

The Logitech Driving Force Pro is good. The wheel base is much more compact and easier to remove than the Momos or LWFF but the actual driving experience is better than any of the other Logitech wheels. Even though it's a PS2 wheel, the drivers from Logitech's site fully support it and it works with every game I've thrown at it including the old ones (FF in GPL works fine). The pedals are the same as the Momo Racing which are pretty nice to drive but not built to last unfortunately. It also has 900 degrees of rotation which is excellent if you're into rallying or drifting. In games like rFactor though, 360 degrees is probably the sweet spot. The shifter paddles aren't as accessable as the Momo paddles but it didn't take me long to get used to them. The only downside is that it's twice the price of the Momo Racing with the same weak link (the flimsy pedals) but it does feature a steel wheel bearing, 900 degrees and more buttons. Well worth it I'd say, but Momo Racing is probably better bang for buck.
