Question about wheel...

Hi: I would like to buy a good steering wheel to be used mainly with N4 and GPL. Currently I'm using a CH's F-16 FighterStick with ProThottle and ProPedals. I would like to be able to keep the ProPedals. Is there anybody using the ProPedals with any steering wheel that can give me some advice? TIA, -- Ramon L.

This is my opinion on the wheels.If you don't mind spending alot of money, Get the TSW. If you are looking to spend under $200., That puts you in the FF group of wheels. Act labs, Logitech, etc. They are great wheels, especially the Act Labs. But I find the FF wheels Terrible for Nascar. They are alot of fun with the rally games and other games where you are turning back and forth using most of the wheels turning radius. But in Nascar it takes very little and precise wheel movement to steer the car. The FF wheels are notchy and make it difficult to give subtle steering inputs. I am sure many out there use these wheels and they work just fine. The wheel I used for many years and I still think is one of the best wheels for the nascar game is the Thrustmaster T2. You can get these wheels on E-Bay for less then $20. If you are ok without FF, you would have to 20 times that to get a better wheel. -- Kevin Anderson [email hidden] "Ramon L.

Kevin: Thanks for your prompt reply. I just visited the Thrustmaster site and looked at their "NASCAR Pro Digital 2", at $60 looks good! BTW, they say it's out of stock right now. As you mentioned, it's not FF but that's fine. Read a good review but I would like the opinion of one of you guys. If anybody is using this wheel and care to comment on it, it will be appreciated a lot!. TIA -- Ramon L. Negron (Cuco) ------------------------------------- PATCO Lives!

http://www.bhmotorsports.com/ just posted a review of this wheel yesterday.

I was originally going to get the NPD2 but after trying it versus the Microsoft non-ff, I decided on the MS one. It took up less desk space, better clamping system to remove the wheel from desk, feels great. I got it for $69CAN after $30rebate. (When the hell am I getting my rebate!!)
