Hello all,
I just wanted to know what types of wheel controllers there were out there. I
have read about the T1. Are there any others? Do any give feedback through
the wheel? What about shifting, by buttons, stick, keyboard? I have the
major 3 (NASCAR, INDY and F1). What about controller card? I have a
soundblaster 16 (so, it's old. it still works). Thrustmaster suggested their
card (imagine that ) on the web page with the T1. I'm just looking for some
information. $180 is quite a bit of money for a controller that I haven't
even used.

Well I would sorta expect them to suggest their card on their web page? <G>
I have the T1, and love it. It really, really, really adds enjoyment to any
driving sim. Well worth the money. (IMHO) I believe there are also some
better combos on the market, but I have no experience with them.
As for a dedicated game card, they are almost a prerequisite if you have a
fast 486 or Pentium. I have a Gravis Eliminator that's been working well,
altho it is sorta old. It has the speed control on a cord, which I like.
I think the newer TM cards have that as well too.
Good luck,
Andy
