Force Feedback Steering Wheels

4 posts by 4 people · 04 Feb 1999 - 05 Feb 1999

Greetings, I am looking to purchase a force feedback steering wheel. I am wondering if anyone has any comments for The Thrustmaster, Microsoft or Logitech wheels.

I'm not much on the FF side of things and I bought them for the optical sensors vs. mechanical pots, durable design, adjustable steering resistance, and the pedals just plain felt best to me compared to the existing TMs out at the time. If I was shopping now, I would be looking at USB wheels (I believe Logitech has one now). My guess is MS, TM and all others will soon follow suit. G. Patricks
There's a great message board on this subject at http://www.force-1.com/ Click on "discussion". There's always at least one person from Logitech there every day, so they can answer your technical questions rather quickly. I recommend the Formula Force. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Remove "spam-jammer" to reply Galley Stuff You Gotta Have! "We do the scroungin', so you can do the loungin'!"

I recommend the Formula Force with TM T2 pedals. Sorry, but the pedals that come with the FF are very cheesy, have no feel to them. T2 are much better. However, the one thing I miss in the FF is adjustable resistance. I've also noticed that the FF has a huge null zone in VR even with the null zone set to the min. in the game. >There's a great message board on this subject at http://www.force-1.com/ >Click on "discussion". >There's always at least one person from Logitech there every day, so they >can answer your technical questions rather quickly.
