Is this wheel any good?

WingMan� Formula� GP I can get one for dirt cheap ($29 Canadian). I know that it is not Force Feedback, but the FF version is $129 Canadian. I don't play Nascar 4 that much but would love a good cheap wheel. Is this the ticket? Thanks -- --------------------- Jeff "Toogy" Toogood 97 TJ http://www.jeepkings.ca

I recently purchased a formula gp from futureshop for 19.99 CND and haven't had any problems yet (1 Month). If you don't have a wheel and you want to have more fun playing your sims and you don't want to spend too much then I would pick it up.

Jeff, I have a WingMan� Formula GP, not the "T", that I use for GP3. It's as good as my old T2 was but nothing fantastic, easy to mount and trouble free. I wish there was a better bearing at the wheel end , my only complaint, same for the T2 though. Cheap wheel, oh well!

Jeff: Yeah, I'd get one. I have one myself. The only weak point is the potentiometers. I started having spiking problems after about 4 months of hard use. By using alcohol, then a TV tuner cleaner/lubricant, I was able to clear the spiking up completely. It's a little inconvienent, but you can't beat the price. Dave

David, what's that stuff you mention - TV cleaner? CYA JensSchumi On 7 Sep 2001 08:59:57 -0700, [email hidden] (David Fletcher) wrote:
