If you do a search in deja news you should find that the good point for this wheel is that it is a TM product. The bad points are that it basically doesn't work worth a *** compared to the ACTLabs and Logitech wheels. It also used the most CPU cycles to process a FF effect putting a huge load on your CPU when driving FF games. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com

There is no such thing as a Thrustmaster Formula Force There is a Trustmaster Force GT there is a Logitech Formula Force which do you mean? >Does anyone have any expercience with this steering wheel ? >What are the good and bad points about this wheel ?

Does anyone have any expercience with this steering wheel ? What are the good and bad points about this wheel ?
Pro's: Force feedback is great, floor peddles are good, it has a lot of handles and buttons Con's: The drivers suck(?) They made my puter reboot all the time- especially every time when there was an interferance (the pc coudn't see the wheel correctly). The wheel made a weird ticking/cracking noise when turned left- in TOCA (FF on) I could even get it to crack laike a Rattling Gun:-) The plug in and wiring is not superb. Overall the wheel didn't gave me an impression of great lasting quality. It is not _to_ precise- however the Force feedback was delicous. For the constant rebooting and the cracking noise I returned the wheel, I was offered a new one- but I wanted to check out the Microsoft FF first. I staill have that one- though I wish it has the complete FF feel of the TM (though MS aint't bad either!). I didn;t want to pay that much money as they ask in the NL for a logitech or else I might have tried that one )though it hasn't got to strong FF either and the peddles are to weak). Try the TM. If oyu have no problems right from the statr and it operates smoothly then you'll have a nice wheel! IF not- you can return it withing 8 days everywhere, and maybe even longer in the better stores... Veel geluk! Frans
