Is Thrustmaster Formula Force GT the best FF system?

I`m thinking about getting this Force Feedback steering wheel. Does anybody tested it already? Are they any reviews? I prefered the TM Formula 1 Racing wheel (no FF) - but the Formula Force GT seems not to be soo expensive compared to the TM F1. BTW: Is the TM Formula Force GT self centering with games without FF like GP2? Thanks! -- Home: http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/8059

I'm kinda torn between the TM and the Microsoft FF wheels. I ran in to someone the other day that was reviewing the Microsoft wheel, and he said that the 6 wheel buttons are all mapable to keystrokes, and you can set a minimum resistance for non FF games. Of course, he hadn't tried using the wheel out of Windows before I asked him. I'd like to stick with TM, just because of their support history. If the thing goes south on me in 11 months I'm quite confident that I'll get satisfaction with TM. I also prefer the shift column instead of paddle shifters. But if TM doesn't have the ability to set a resistance or program buttons, I might have to go with the MS wheel. They are both shipping at the end of the month, and the TM wheel is listing for $40 less (wholesale Canadian) and it also comes up as USB OR Standard Joystick. Is there anyone who can comment on the resistance for non FF games and the ability to program the buttons on the TM wheel, and comment on weather or not it's USB and Standard in the same box (adapter) or is that an order option? I'm going to have to order mine soon so I can guarantee that I'll get one before Christmas. I'd like the USB model but would that affect DOS games? Cheers Joe Walsh Supercity Technologies
