Ive just orderd one... it wont get here for a few days and i was wondering
what to expect from it.
also... is there any tricks like the MSFF squashball-under-the-pedal
type thing with it?
thanx chaps dan leach
As rrevved said, you will love it .. eventually.
Out of the box it can be very stiff, needs a good few hours to
start loosening up, it will also feel quite notchy compared to
your MSFF (did you have one?).
I think you will be dissapointed with the pedals, no possibility
of stuffing a squash ball behind these, you'll see what I mean.
They are OK for most games where precise brake control is not
required but you'll struggle with something like GPL.
My tip would be to not make your mind up for the first 6-10
hours, also, once ther novelty factor of the very strong
forces the RS can produce wears off, lower the gain
settings, you can feel more subtle effects, plus you don't
end up with biceps like Arnie.
If you are running GPL check out Eaglewomen site and Nunnini's
for tips on setting it up.

Yeah, slot's site is a pretty good place to check possible mods to the ACT
FF RS, although I disagree with the GPL core.ini setting recommended for
this wheel.

As others have said you will probably not like the pedals. If you
have a MSFF you CAN use the pedals with the Act Labs wheel. It just
takes a little modification to pull it off. Look on Slot Tweaks site,
www.slottweak.com in the forums. link for the forums is not real
visible. It's on the left menu down a few pages. Wish he'd make a
button for it so it would be more visible. Anyway, in the forum show
topics for the last year and look for the topic MMFF pedals with Act
Labs Force RS. It should give you more than enough info to pull it
off. I love my MSFF pedals with the Act Labs. I actually did a 38.5
or 6 at Monza in the F2 Brabham. I know others have probably gone
faster but that's the fastest I've gone there in the F2. Course I
spun off a couple times and finished like 15th but..... :-)

PS. Mine is still notchy. Hope you have better luck with yours. The
belt is reinforced with Kevlar and that's why it takes longer to break
in. Course it shouldn't break. :-)
