Has anyone done a comparison test of FF wheel and pedals? I'm unsure which of the following to go for: MS Sidewinder FF �84.99 (www.gameplay.co.uk) Saitek R4 (why do Saitek not list this product on their site, but gameplay.co.uk still sell it) �94.99 (www.gameplay.co.uk) Thrustmaster Ferrari FF �84.99 (www.amazon.co.uk) Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP �74.99 (www.amazon.co.uk) �54.99 (www.gameplay.co.uk) Prices quoted are those I managed to find from my usual UK suppliers.

For the price I would go for the Logitech FF GP. I just bought one and it works great. Only issue I have is that the Profiler does not work under Windows 2000. If you want a really nice wheel try act-labs.com, they are a bit more but get great reviews. "james" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9j2834$aoe$[email hidden]...

what ever you do dont buy the saitek R4 as it was discontinued about a year ago ...and saitek are not producing any win2k drivers for it.......bar that its a great wheel , but the pedals are a bit flakey.....could do with some high quality pots in it. oz "ML" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:hB257.263490$[email hidden]...

I have the MSFF a week now and I love it. I did use the OLD LWFF and that worked great when it was new, but after about a half year there was to much play in the steering wheel. And the steering potmeter was worn after one year. The pedals from the MSFF are very good. My GPL Rank is 5seconds lower in one week. Rob.

I'll throw my 2 cents in. I've had the MSFF for about 6 months and love it. Great construction and as Rob said, great pedals. It feels a little notchy at first, but smooths out pretty quickly. Works great with all sims. Tim "james" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9j2834$aoe$[email hidden]...
