It is in the stores now, saw one yesterday. Still red.

hmmm.... We've gone through this over and over and over but for old times sake.... I know many like to drive with shoe or slippers on which needs a heavier spring to but to be honest I've looked at the MSFF pedals and some other, they are way too hard. No race car is like that. No road car is like that for that matter! You have to force the pedals. I can understand the need for an extra bit of feel while wearing shoes. On the other hand, I'm a bit of a one to lounge around the house when I'm at home so I'll usually play bear foot or in my socks.... this gives a terrific feel from the pedals. The throttle is so light yet you can just feel it under your foot. Perfect. The brake is great too stiffer than the throttle but easy to control. I've tried using it with shoes on and it's impossible but without, the LWFF is the best set of pedals I've ever used. (most realistic). With shoes no others a better to feel the pedals but are much too stiff IMO. Thats just how I feel on the matter.

Hi Actually, brakes in a racecar are sooo hard you'll think you'll never stop........ Sudesh PS I drive with an old valvespring in my LWFF pedals "9Wright7" <[email hidden]> schreef in bericht news:8ns7r5$b1i$[email hidden]...

If you like the MS pedals I'd guess you'd hate the Logi pedals, they have far less travel making accurate braking and accelerating difficult. As for the other guys comments about the MS pedals being too stiff, I think he must have tried a faulty unit, mine are easier to depress than the Logitech's, easier than even the accelerator pedal in a roadcar let alone brake. -- Ian P <email invalid due to spam> <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Mon, 21 Aug 2000 22:44:11 +0100, "9Wright7" <[email hidden]> thus spoke: > > > >Thats just how I feel on the matter. > > I have MS pedals and I always play barefoot too.

I haven't donethe squash ball thing but I'd imagine that it'd make the pedals perfect IMO. Or at least pretty good:-)

Does the new LWFF have paddle shifters? I can't see any in the promo shots... -- s i m a g e r y @ h o t m a i l . c o m

From looking at the box, they appear to be more like a combination button/lever - I'm sure they probably work fine, but I'm suspicious of full-lock behavior compared to paddles.

With shoes on I really can't use the LWFF pedals, I use my CH pedals for GPL (with shoes on, perfect). With bare feet the LWFF pedals are quite good indeed, but after half an hour racing my left foot starts to hurt from keeping my foot at such a high angle. Andre

more like large buttons. They do have a positive click and are not flimsy. BriGuy wrote: > Does the new LWFF have paddle shifters? I can't see any in the promo > shots... > > -- > > s i m a g e r y @ h o t m a i l . c o m
