Logitech USB WHEEL

Make sure that the game is setup to use a wheel and not a joystick. I believe it's an option in the NFS3 menus. One other thing to try.... try a better game. :)

Hi read so much about the wheel here went to a store to try before buying It had NFS3 installed and tried it with the game. It was a complete disaster. Comparing with my MS joystick, NFS3 was easy and enjoyable, but with this wheel it made me look like a novice. I wonder what are the first few things that you do when you set up the wheel Do you need to cut back on some deadzone etc ? From my testing it feels like " nothing_then_full turn" sort of thing. Also it ran incredibly slow, on a 400mhz. G400 card. I guess it must be something wrong. of course the guys at the store says everything is alright :-) -- Best regards Singapore

For what it's worth, I always sucked at the NFS games when using a wheel. You need such a fast response time just to move the car around properly that in my opinion, a wheel is a waste in an arcade game like that. Zog

It's with sims like F1RS etc that they really come into their own. I tried the GP500 demo the other day with both a joystick and a wheel and I easily did better with a wheel. This is gonna be a great sim too. Tony

apart from specialities of NFS3: did you ever use a wheel before? when i bought my first wheel (a thrustmaster grandprix 1), i could hardly keep the car on the track with GP2. and when i switched from the TMGP1 to the logitech WFF wheel, it was the same with driving GPL: it cost me several weeks to get used to the new wheel and the pedals - i was almost about to give up ... so be patient and try to tweak the options in both NFS3 and the wingman profiler - you can change the sensitivity, deadzone and several other there.

Me too, I always use the keyboard when I play arcade games. NFS3 (4) just doesn't have good enough control when using the wheel.
