Apparantly it is a good wheel. But for the most realism with rc2000, the act labs wheel with the additional shifter may be the way to go. Their add on shifter is gated, so you actually shift it.

Too bad most race cars, including most rally cars, use a sequential shifter..... Marc.

Yea, but I'm always pushing the stupid shifter the wrong direction in GPL because I'm trying to make it go the same way it should by looking at my driver's shifter on the screen. Which reminds me of one of my biggest complaints of GPL: why didn't they write the code with a buffer to store the player's shifting? Say you want to downshift two or more gears very quickly, you can't because you have to wait for the on-screen driver to carefully complete each shift first. This is absolutely not realistic becase the '67 cars had gated shifters in which the driver could skip as many gears as he wished. Of all the anoying things they did in the game to make it realistic, they also had to add anoying things that make it not realistic. Oh well, that's what I get for being addicted to GPL. I guess its better than drugs or whatever. -Tony-

I thought most rally cars were 6 or 7 speed, regular gated shifting. Anyway, the Act Labs Shifter lets you pop on a template for sequential shifting as well.

The gates in the RS shifter are interchangeable, so you can put in the up-down sequential gate if that's what you prefer. <remove 7of9 for e-mail replies> -- Bill Jones e-mail addresses: (860) 701-1201 WWW: http://pages.cthome.net/billj
But then you have what the Guillemot wheel (or the Saitek and others) already provide...which was the original point. Marc.
