Making it the most precise wheel on the market, AFAIK. * Can now set the desired lock-to-lock rotation in the profiler, with virtual 'locks' provided by the FF motor. * Two more configurable buttons (L3 and R3 buttons decoupled from the shifter)

Dammit! I just bought a Momo Racing :( Dave, maybe it's a good thing you couldn't find one. Oh, wait. I just remembered. I bought it from Best Buy so I can return and exchange it. WooHoo! I might do that tomorrow! Does anyone have a reason why I should NOT do this? -Larry "Eric Tetz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

That's actually important to me. I'm well within my 30 day return period for the Momo Racing I bought at BB. Thanks! -Larry "tomb" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

This might be a big deal to you if you race a lot of F1 (though I've heard reports of the MR paddles breaking, so they might be a mixed blessing). The MR wheel also has a slightly thicker grip. And it cost less. In every other way the DPF is superior: ball bearing shaft, more powerful force feedback motor, more than twice as many buttons, much higher resolution, and the real killer -- adjustable rotation from 40 to 900 degrees.

I played around with the new beta drivers last night. I had so many problems I had to uninstall them. I'll wait. I can always sell this one and buy the DFP later. -Larry "Eric Tetz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

It's sold for the PS2. It's USB and worked with drivers for other Logitech wheels, so people have been using it on the PC since it came out. It's become so popular that the Wingman team added support for it in the PC driver. I don't know if it's officially supported or not. Why they don't market it as a PC/PS2 wheel is beyond me.

I had the same problem others have reported. Problems registering the brake and gas pedals. -Larry "Eric Tetz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Larry wrote: >> I played around with the new beta drivers last night.
