Hi,
I want to get a wheel for N4! I don't know which one to get. I
believe the Thrustmaster's are USB and the MS ones are not.
I presently have all CH stuff (stick, throttle, and pedals) hooked up
to my system (via a game card, as my MX300 sound card doesn't have the
ampage). I play flight-sims more than I do driving sims (also run
NFS: Porsche).
Any ideas what I would have to unplug or get either wheel to work with
my system (and which is better)?
Thanks,
-pw
Whichever one you go for, you don't have to unplug a thing. There will be no
resource conflicts. For N4 you probably even won't have to change a thing
(it detects and allows you to calibrate all controllers connected to your
system). For NFS:PU you'll probably have to move the wheel to ID1 on the
Advanced page of the Game Controllers applet.
Cheers,
Jan.

haven't seen a gameport version for sale for a few months now though.

Sam's Club stores (United Stats) are currently carrying them, at a
clearance price of around $55. Couple that with a $30 mail-in rebate
from Microsoft and you've got one heck of a price on a wheel, provided
you don't mind it being the older version.
Unfortunately for me, I'm not a member and they apparently don't
accept Walmart Gift Cards (which say they're valid at Walmart and
Sam's) if you're not a member (wtf!).
Really wanted one, too. :(

MS FF is USB nowadays... I have no opinion on either wheel as I've never
used 'm.
