non-FF wheel out there w/ good pedals and preferably a sequential shifter...and wouldn't cost more than $200 or so? I currently have a TM Nascar Pro...I like the feel of the pedals and the sequential shifter and the shape of the wheel...but the pot on it is shot and I don't really want to hassle anymore with pots and bungees. I also would like people's FF wheel suggestions and opinions as well. God bless, Loren

IMO you cant get what you want for less than $200. The tsw2 stock comes closest at $220 and is well worth it.

I have a Microsoft Sidewinder FF Wheel and I'm really satisfied with it. There is a version of MS Sidewinder Wheel without FF too. MS Sidewinder Wheel doesn't look as cool as a Logitech Wheel, but I don't care :) /roq http://rally.figc.net - Nordic Rally Masters UnserFan1 <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > non-FF wheel out there w/ good pedals and preferably a sequentialshifter...and > wouldn't cost more than $200 or so?

The non-FF Microsoft wheel is called the Precision Racing Wheel, and for �45 (uk) it's not bad. I bought one so I could use the pedals with the wheel from my LWFF. Also the new MSFF usb version has some kind of driver bug which slows down GPL and Sports Car GT.

I've use the MSFF, LWFF and TSW2. TSW2 is the best made of the three by FAR. It's metal, wood and a little plastic. Can't beat the value. I'm just hooked on FF so I don't use mine at all. BTW, if you're considering FF the LWFF is a better wheel than MSFF. I did a LONG comparison a few months ago that you can search on remarq or dejanews.

I'vr tried both LWFF and MSFF, and as far as I'm concerned the MS wheel wins comfortably. It's probably a minority view, but it's what I'm comfortable with, and it's what I'll stick with. -- David.

Where can you get CH Pedals in the UK?

Hi Read your post in RAS about using the Logitech FF wheel with the CH pedals,  I did not know you could mix and match.  Would be nice to get pedals I could use for racing and flying.  Are there any "tricks" to setting this up? Thanks dkmedic BendsMaster wrote:
