Controller Suggestions

Well, I'm just getting started in virtual racing with N3 and GPL. Being a hard-core flight-sim nut, I realize the need for quality controllers. I've also come to the conclusion that all my flight control gear makes very poor race car controllers :) So I'm in the market for a decent wheel and pedals. Force feedback would be nice, but is not a requirement, USB is a plus, and digitial is almost a must -I've had too many frustrations with spiking and cheap pots with my flight control gear over the years. My target price range is about $150-180 for wheel and pedals. Recommendations? -Robert

I did some hunting around last night and have my eye on the ACT Labs Force RS or the Logitech Formula Force. How do the 2 stack up and what are people's experiences with them? Tony Jester <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:b5YT4.2555$[email hidden]...

I have the Logitech Formula Force USB which is within your price range. Plus it works great in the 2 games you mention. -- [email hidden] Robert Adams <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > Well, I'm just getting started in virtual racing with N3 and GPL.

Hmmm... I don't think there is an easy answer to your question. Robert Adams wrote in message <[email hidden]>...
