The MS FF wheel is a notorious CPU hog. I carefully misread the advice on this ng before I went and bought one a year ago... It uses many many times more cycles per event than the competition. Particularly recommended is the Logitech wheel, although the pedal travel is apparently too short with that one. I don't think there is an ideal solution.

Having said that, I prefer it in feel to any other wheel (Logitech included), and I can keep up a reasonably steady 36fps even with it on, so I don't care (nyahh!). -- David.
