Logitech FF Wheel - Paddle Questions

3 posts by 3 people · 17 Jul 1999 - 17 Jul 1999

Hey gurus ! I just read that the Logitech FF wheel has paddles. Can the paddles be used as gas and brake ???? I can't drive with pedals and I want something more sophisticated that my TM Sprint and TM GP1! -- Tim A. Deatherage "Admitted Sim ***"

Tim, I wish I had good news for you but...the paddles on the LWFF do not have pots like the GP1 or the Sprint, so unless you can deal with on/off switches for throttle and brake, they will not work. don [|]-(_)-[|]

Tim, If you're not physically disabled in your lower extremities (and -really- can't drive with pedals), I'd say give the Logitech FF wheel (along with those pesky pedals) a try. I was also "unable" to drive with pedals, being so used to my TM GP1. I bought a MSFF wheel a few months ago and it felt so strange (switching over from the GP1's paddle throttle/brake) that I ended up taking the thing back to the store for a refund after only one day. With the GPL patch 1.1 and FF, I simply -had- to try another FF wheel and (of course) I picked up the Logitech. To cut it short, I stuck it out with the pedals (they suit me just fine having never used any others except for the brief stint with the MSFF wheel) and have really gotten used to them. It's really a great wheel/pedal combo...you may be missing out on some great driving by bypassing it because of the pedal issue. -- Sergey Zakharov
