GT wheel & pedals.

4 posts by 3 people · 22 May 1998 - 29 May 1998

I've recently gotten hooked on Gran Turismo for the Playstation and I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on what would be the best wheel/pedal combo to use. The gamepad just isn't cutting it! Also, what are your favorite cars to drive? So far, it seems like the Subaru Impreza WRX Type R is the best handling car I've found. Got any suggestions for better handling cars? Thanks a million.

The gamepad just isn't cutting it! Actlab's Force RS force feedback wheel ($99) will be out shortly. It has I-Force 2.0 for the PC. It uses a cartridge system which allows it to be used on a PC or any of the three consoles. They also have a non force feedback version for $59 http://www.actlab.com/gamegear In response to your question, although the force feedback will not work with the PSX, it still looks to be an excellent wheel. It even has an F1 style shifter! I personally can't wait to try it with Gran Turismo. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Everything you wanted to know about the classic 80's movie, "Valley Girl" http://www.valley-girl.com/ Remove "spam-jammer" to reply Peace, love and Monkeemobiles, Galley

None of the steering wheels and pedals that I've used (about 4) are any good. They do not stiffen up as you turn them towards lock, much like most higher priced PC ones do, and this makes it very hard to stay straight on the road. In a game like GT, you'll find that different cars handle well, depending on your driving style, but I do agree that the WRX is a good one. Also, the Honda Prelude is a good handler for a front-wheel drive, and the new Mazda RX-7 for a rear wheel drive.

Thanks for your advice. Now my favorite car is the 4 wheel drive Celica. It's decked out and I just can't find any other vehicles to outperform it!
