Steering Wheels, HELP!

I am looking for a new wheel. I had an F1 Racing Sim and was very impressed, but I broke it! The accelerator failed in a race. I am now looking for a new one. My problem is that I live in the UK, I can't find any wheels other than the thrustmaster wheels. I don't rate the thrustmaster wheels so I am looking for some thing else. Can any one help?

Hi Scott, Have you considered a TSW Formula model? We have the BEST equipment made with a warranty to match :) please take a look at: http://soli.inav,net/~thomas I think you will like what you see :)! Trev

I agree! I have TSW2. Don't waste money on a TM wheel, the TSW is not much more money and will outlast any Thrustmaster or CH Wheel! The difference is unbelievable!!!! Check 'em out!!! Regards, Rick Carlson

Scott, It may be of interest to you to look up our CDS2 and CDS2SR controllers. In the construction of our units, we do not use ANY plastic bearing structures like the wheel you mentioned and most others. We use only high quality ball bearings in the steering mechanism, and proper sintered bronze bushings everywhere else including the pedals. We also offer a truly adjustable steering mechanism with the ability to tune spring resistance characteristics and travel, all with no loss in reliability. We use only top quality industrial grade components for everything including the critical potentiometers. Most users of our products experience avarage potentiometer life in excess of two years even with intense daily use. HTTP://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/extreme Regards! Andy Cers ECCI

Try PC World Try Game Try Electronic Boutique Try Curry's, Dixons & your local toyshops Try Mail order from any pc games mag Try direct from companies like Simply Computers or Special reserve And as for *only* Thrustmaster wheels? (which are pretty good as it happens?) Try the per4ormer (crap) Try the Destiny wheel & pedals (so so) Try the F1 Sim & F1 Sim compact (Great, but expensive)) Try the Top drive wheel and pedals (so so) Try the VRF1 Wheel and pedals (good) Try exporting from the USA, eg:- the ECCI or TSW wheel and pedal set-ups (probably the best, but most expensive) Is that enough for you? Sheeeshh, some people....... *Peter* 8-) (NB: remove asterix to e-mail)
