The paddles are some times weak but if you have brought it recently these are reinforced A great wheel otherwise! all the would top it off is the act lab gated shifter!

I have had lots of fun with mine, and no problems so far.... except one odd little thing, sometimes the FF just quits after 3-4 laps at the Ring in GPL, it has not happened anywhere else or in any other game.

I am currently considering purchasing the Guillemot Ferrari FF controls. I would like to hear from anyone who is using them as far as how you like them, any problems you have had, what are the pedals like etc... Dale

Im totally Happy with mine, but.. The FF effect disappearing at the ring happened to me too.. I thought it was broken but no: just had to start the game again. Dale <[email hidden]> schreef in berichtnieuws 8k74du$f96$[email hidden]...

I have read about more ppl having those FF disappearing problems. And it's not only the Guillemot FF, but several other brands to. So it must be software related ?? Or are they all using the same FF engine/servo ?? I too have the Guillemot FF. And I'm extremly happy with it. Took me some time to addapt to the pedals that are a bit to soft in the spring for my taste. I was used to the Thrustmaster pedals wich are somewhat stiffer. Havent had any FF disappearing expierinces though. Borchers Karl Zosel <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:e9P95.41446$[email hidden]...

i too have experienced the quitting of FF. however mine isn't limited to the 'ring. any track at any time! sometimes it shuts off but will tease me with psuedo FF and then drop out again.... i think i've noticed a corelation with either spikes while onlilne, or even -get this- graphics..last nite at zandy, i passed a car on the side of the track. at the very instant of going by, my FF quit! i havn't noticed it quitting while offline. tho' i don't race offline much so i don't know if thats a fair assesment- Bo bruce On Sat, 8 Jul 2000 20:05:45 +0100, "Kieran Larkin" <[email hidden]> wrote: >The paddles are some times weak but if you have brought it recently these >are reinforced A great wheel otherwise! all the would top it off is the act >lab gated shifter!

everything about it is nice. i enjoy it, except for the random quitting of FF. good feel, and made well. i've had the thrustmaster T1-T2 and Pro... and this is better than any-

It's called system overload ... I think at its peaks is when you are loosing the FF, as you gave evidence below. ? bb wrote:

And I have to agree with you Juan, I too am not impressed by it in terms of straight line precision. I will say that the clamping system works well though. As for the shifter paddles, the first ones were too delicate, but the new revision is now too stiff in my opinion.

hi, ACT labs i'd prefer but it's to much of a hassle ordering from the states(contacted them and that's the only way, ordering is not even possible from their euro HQ) So how's the ferrari wheel impacting fps? as bad as the MSFF or as little as the LWFF? thanx wsa
