MICROSOFT FORCE FEEDBACK

I'm going to treat myself as its christmas and im gonna buy a steering wheel-probably the MS FF, over here in britain its 150 and ive tried it on display at a shop and it was really good, felt really smooth. Im worried about whether the little gear changers under the wheel, like proper f1 cars, are easy to reach when its twisting around like a mad thing, and also if there are any other problems i should know about, is it ok for GPL as it has no FF?

You can read a review on the steering wheel on http://www.simracingnews.com/hardware/sidewinder/ When you have installed the software for the steering wheel you can set up the force to work even when a game doesn't support it. More info can be found in the review mentioned above ;) Thanks. Kenneth Verburg Webmaster High Gear Ross Hendry heeft geschreven in bericht

The gearchangers work well, although occasionally it is hard to find gear down (on the left for me) in a panic whilst on full opposite lock during a half spin It will work if FF is not supported, or with it switched off. You can't set competitive lap times with FF on - the wheel just becomes too stiff. FF is just for fun, that's all

You can configure the resistance of the wheel in three discrete steps, the smallest setting is real close to no resistance. If you try ViperRacing, you'll probably not repeat your last sentence... 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!

Hi Paul Does the MS FF wheel has peddle ( those doggy ears on the left and right ) so that you could use them as accel and brakes. I come across many wheel that do not have these and that you MUST use footpedal. I don't want a footpedal. regards Leong

% Hi Paul % Does the MS FF wheel has peddle % ( those doggy ears on the left and right ) % so that you could use them as accel and brakes. % I come across many wheel that do not have these % and that you MUST use footpedal. % I don't want a footpedal. I think that all FF wheels use pedals for gas and brake. Thrustmaster has the NASCAR Sprint (though it is not ForceFeedback) with paddles on the back of the wheel for use as gas and brake. -- **************************** Michael E.
