Well, in the UK I'd definitely go for one of the Digital Edge products - either F1 SIM (about 179) or F1 SIM Compact (about 99 with Psygnosis F1 '97 bundle) depending on your budget. The F1 SIM is all steel with a great leather wheel, while the Compact has plastic pedals. Both units have F1-style paddle shifters. If you're not in a hurry I'd wait for a month or two for the next generation of the F1 SIM. The new wheel might be out in July or August. This product will probably be near 200 but should be fantastic. Hope this helps, the bystander

HIYA SIMON, Before you buy a wheel go to this site and see why the TSW2 or the TSW will be the only wheel you will ever need. I own a TSW stock, and it is built like a tank. Look at the site and if you want to talk to a user, give me a holler ( GEORGIA REDNECK FOR ) send me your reply. THE SITE IS http://soli.inva.net/~thomas/ LET ME KNOW Bob Hawkins

Anyone out there have one of these. I'm not crazy about the fact thtat the wheel isn't complete. It looks like it might be flimsy. Any comments? - J

Just going on the reviews, they all raved about the wheel. Maybe its because its the only one available though... :-) Apparently the IForce effects are very good, even if the wheel looks like a toy... -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors - Super Touring - Alfa Romeo - - V8Supercars - CART -

If you want the best than buy what Frank Williams has for the Williams Grandprix team, the Hyper Stimulator. The least expensive model comes in kit form. Your UK distributor can tell you the price. The Canadian pricing is on my website www.directcomputers.com You can locate the UK distributor though www.hyperstim.com Rory S. Brown >Im a new user of F1RS based in UK.

Just saw in an E3 report the new Saitek FF wheel. Looks great, with a regular gear shifter AND F1 style wheel paddels. l8er ronny -- Toys'R'Us '99: "So, would you like a hand gun with that action figure, kiddo?" |\ _,,,---,,_ I want to die like my Grandfather, ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ in his sleep. |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' Not like the people in his car, '---''(_/--' `-'\_) screaming their heads off!

We've just started getting Saitek joysticks here in Australia. How good is this company? The flight sticks look a little overdone (too many buttons and stuff), btu are apparently good value.... Anyone had any good experiences with Saitek products? Damn, all this FF stuff, and here I am with an almost brand new GP1 :-) -- Nathan Wong http://www.nectar.com.au/~alfacors - Super Touring - Alfa Romeo - - V8Supercars - CART -
