Hi all, It's time to replace my aging gameport based MSFF wheel. What do you recommend as an affordable replacement? Any issues to be aware of with USB etc... Cheers Mike

My new Thrustmaster Enzo FF works well with GPL and GTR. It�s much cheaper than the Logitech. Michael

And if you can find one they're very cheap in the UK - I paid £30 for mine a couple of months ago, at which point they promptly dropped to £20. -- AG Remove removes from address to remove anti-spam measures. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Alan Gauton E-Mail agauton @ postmaster.co.uk Never for me the lowered banner, never the last endeavour!

Hmmm...my ancient Logitech Wingman Formula Force wheel (all-red rubber covered) is still working like a champ. ;) It was USB from day one. If you're not going to get a Logitech MOMO Raching wheel, I would say a good-condition Original Formula Force isn't a bad alternative. And pretty cheap on ebay. :)

Just wondering will I have to download different drivers or can I use the same ones as old red? Could you let me know which drivers you use. Also if I d\load different drivers will it mess up the ones for old red wheel. Tia Regards Phil.

Hi Phil, it's the same driver, since its a familydriver for all MOMO, Driving Force and Formula (force) GP Wheels. If you need to reinstall, just click every time like you would download for the MOMO-Racing Force. The Driver will fit perfectly. Daniel
Since it has a USB connect, do you know if the Logitech MOMO wheel will work with a PS2? Saw one at Best Buy and I liked the wheel's grip/feel and especially liked the little spikes in the pedal unit to keep it from moving forward.

Zuke, the Driving For Pro do have the same pedals. As I have heard, the black / dark grey Momo will not work on the PS2 , but the red leather Momo is working fine. Sounds like its better to grab a driving force pro ... Daniel
