Pedals to die for.........

You need to check these out too www.mindspring.com/~srcwheel

those both look very nice anybody have more information on the pedals at http://www.mindspring.com/~srcwheel?

The SRC pedals look terrific, but how would you like that wheel with force feedback? Or how about the ECCI, Thomas or Ball Racing wheels with force feedback? High quality, precision instruments that are able to communicate every little bit of info in GPL. Now that's what I want. If you do to, write your friendly wheel manufacturer and inquire about force feedback today! > You need to check these out too > www.mindspring.com/~srcwheel

And most of them don't have the knowledge or experience in that area of hardware development to implement it [i.e. circuit and cpu design, driver writing, digital devices, etc.]. They would need to say buy the technology off of say Microsoft or Logitech, etc and piggyback them which may not necessarily be a bad way to go.

BOTH sets of pedals look great -- when will one of these companies (or TSW or ECCI) get smart and market a set of pedals that can be used with a myriad of Force Feedback controllers? They already have the design in-hand; all they need to do is figure out how to interface with the various brands of wheels and develop the necessary interface adapters or patch cables. If you build it, they will come, methinks. Anybody paying attention? -- JB

Nigel Nichols has his pedal assembly available for purchase. http://www.wave.co.nz/pages/lakewood/Prices.htm I've never tried them out, but they look like a quality item. Everytime I've posted to this group for user info on them my posts have gone unanswered, so I can't give you a clue as to how well they work. How about it Redline users? There's a lot of curious sim racers here that would appreciate any comments that you may have. And Nigel, if you're listening, how about putting a few units out to the reviewers so the rest of us can get an impartial and informative review of your product? I for one am in the market for a new wheel, but am hesitant to part with a large sum of cash without getting a little unbiased information about my purchase first. But man, those pedals do look sweet... See ya in the pits, Dean I have a terrible memory. In fact my memory's so bad I can't remember how long it's been since I've forgotten anything. > I had the same thought.

I'm looking for a set of pedals to go with my home made wheel, and you have just about convinced me, one Q though, do the pedals he ship look as good as the ones on his home page ? I'm a sucker for good craftsmanship :-) -- Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/

Thanx for the review Paul! very informative. I am incredibly jealous, but how do you live without FF in Legends??? <once you feel the Force, there's no going back.... :O) > Regards Davey_Willo

Call me crazy, but I disabled the FF in legends. I bought a Logitech wheel as soon as 1.1 came out, but after trying heaps of different settings, find I'm going quicker without FF. I went back to my T2 pedals with the LWFF, and am thinking about rebuilding the T2 wheel so I can use the stick shifter again. Anyone want a Cheap LWFF ;-) . By the way, by far the best wheel/pedals I've used are the Hyperstimulator (same solid brake pedal that the RRC seems to have), but they are hellish expensive even in Oz where they are made . Cheers.. Phillip...

I have had the offer to have my units reviewed by the IRLInsider. Think maybe I need to take him up on the offer. Nigel Nichols -- Redline Race Controls http://www.wave.co.nz/pages/lakewood/Redline2.htm Nigel of Lakewood Motorsports Hamilton New Zealand

> Drool... > Now, that would be the perfect pedal set to use with my LWFF. But > unfortunately, shipping them to Europe would double the price, I guess... > :-( That's what I thought too, but the shipping costs for the pedal unit to Europe is quoted at 24 UK, giving a total of 132 UK, I'm sold on this one, especially after hearing that the pictures are not of a "promo" unit, but is actually a shipping unit -- Beers and cheers (uncle) Goy "Team Mirage" http://www.teammirage.com/ "The Pits" http://www.theuspits.com/

Actually the photos are of my own personal unit. Normally they are black but I didn't have a black one completed the day I could borrow the digital camera. I promise you though what you see is what you get when it comes to the quality. Keeping up supply is a little daunting though.
