GUILOMOT WHEELS SERVICE DEPT

I have decided, after searching dejanews for past articles, that the guilomot ferrari wheel is the one to buy. But I would like to know from those who own them is this, since Guilimot is the company that bought Thrusmaster and everyone is unhappy with the new service, how is your service with the Ferrari wheel? Thanks Mike

Before you go off the deep end with Guillemots wheel, let me tell that I and a friend have both returned them due to very poor quality. The pedals may be slightly better than the Logitech but they are very close together. I now have a Logitech FF wheel and have been surprised how quickly I got used to the pedals. The wheel itself is a million times better than the Guillemot offering. Andi.

(1500 Swedish crowns) So..what do you think? Is it worth it?!

In all the reviews I have seen the Ferrari wheel has been chosen ahead of the Logitech as far as workmanship, pedals and FF. The logitech FF is very weak in comparison to the Ferrari and Act-Labs FF. Andi Cole wrote:

I can assure you that the Guillemot FF wheel is cheap and nasty in comparison, the pedals are hardly better, being very close together, and the forces are adjustable. In fact the forces on the LWFF give a much better feel because they are that much gentler. We are not looking for Playstation vibro pads that shake a little in time with the music here. In SCGT the LWFF gives no sensation of force going down a straight but you try to steer too hard into a corner or hit those rumble strips and then you'll know what forces are all about. If you want a real FF wheel then wait until PDPI bring theirs out or the company who made the F1 Racing Sim wheel. There really is no comparison between the plastic Ferrari wheel and the throbbing red monster...........

I would rather have the software companies implement good FF. Some games really suck on all FF wheels. > There really is no comparison between the plastic Ferrari wheel and the > throbbing red monster........... I'm not sure which Ferrari wheel you are referring to, but my Guillemot FF wheel has a nice rubber feel to it, it really feels great. I would say as great as the Logitech wheel. I can't comment on the FF action of both wheels, as I only have tried the Guillemot one. Dennis.

I have decided to keep the Act-Labs, there is no comparison with the Logitech and Ferrari wheels. I have tried all three and I am going to keep the ACT-LABS as this thing feels real nice. Andi Cole wrote:
