Destiny Steering Wheel

Has anyone heard of a steering wheel by a company called Destiny? I've searched the web but found nothing so far. It's available in the UK for the same price as the Thrustmaster GP, and it has separate pedals, which seems better to me. Any comments on either of these wheels? I'm also interested in the MCS Multi-system controller - anyone used one? -- Steve Loft, Doncaster, UK
I've noticed a third "pedal-hole" on my T2, to the left of the breaking pedal. Could a clutch be fitted into this, without too much hassle, and will there be any games supporting it? I've read that Papy's Grand Prix Legends will have some kind of clutch support...

GP2 has a spot in the advanced controls menu for a clutch, though I've never heard of anyone using it. -Dirt-

A friend of mine built a clutch on his home-built wheel, but it's not of much use. The only sim supporting it right now is GP2 and it only comes handy during the start: he flies away at the green lights. But during the race you don't use it. -- Formula T2 Upgrade Page - http://huizen.dds.nl/~jjcox > > I've noticed a third "pedal-hole" on my T2, to the left of the breaking > > pedal.

Yeah, they are both cheap plastic shit. Save up and buy a *proper* wheel and pedal combo, you will appreciate it in the long run. If you really cannot afford to wait to save up, or just cannot afford a real wheel and pedal set, then get a T2, its the best compromise between performance and cost you will find. I started out with a T2, but now have an F1 Sim (formerly GP500). d:~) **Peter**

Yes, it can be done, i've built one (am i alone?), i use it for GP2 (i think it's the only sims now that can use it) check this out how to do it on my website Everything is explained loud and clear at (direct link) http://infoweb.magi.com/~ericcote/t2&clutch.html Also if you want to add gear change button mounted on steering wheel (keep your hand on wheel, and trigger gears with fingers) try this: http://infoweb.magi.com/~ericcote/t2&gear.html If you like GP2, you may be interested of what i've done: setup guide,telemetry guide,trackguide, RACE & QUAL SETUPS, and more.. at my main webpage (linking to all above) http://infoweb.magi.com/~ericcote/gp2menu.html BTW, i've spoke to technical department at Thrustmaster, i've explained what i've done (modification), and i've asked them to consider this as future plan for there GT wheel as either EASY ADD-ON or already hooked-up, and they reply that they would consider this in a serious way.

Eric Cote, You are not alone. My home-built pedals were designed right from the start with a clutch pedal. It is also wired as Joystick port B and can be switched to run as a On\Off or analog. I use it in Nascar 2 because the gear lever is wired via a micro switch on the cltuch pedal. I must press/jab the clutch or the gears won't change. -- Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand

Any idea how to do that with a T2.... sounds awesome.

Sorry Mick but I am not not familiar with how the T2 is constructed or wired so I can't really give any descent advise on that one. -- Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Nascar Coruba & Coke Chevy Hamilton New Zealand
