USB or Serial for my LWFF??

I understand that USB moves data faster through its port? Thus you would want to plug it into a USB. Would this give you better framerate and better steering response compared to plugging the Wheel into a serial port? Then again.. the serial port is the actual cable from the Wheel, with only a serial to USB connector attachment, so alas it still ends up going through the serial cable. Any one notice a difference?

I have had the best results from the USB.

I have only used USB and would suggest only using that. -- Header address intentionally scrambled to ward off the spamming hordes. cisko [AT] ix [DOT] netcom [DOT] com >I understand that USB moves data faster through its port?

> it's the > same. I've tried it both ways and and notice no difference... Rigs, I have news for you. After using the serial port for some weeks, I have now switched to USB (had to upgrade to W98 for that). The difference is amazing! LWFF through the USB port is much more accurate. It's easier to place the car on the track, to modulate (trail) brake and gas. It's even better than a T2 on the old gameport. And even better still: when online the controls don't seem to suffer anymore when you hit a dip in frame rate. The cars keeps responding to inputs. -- Bye, Leo

Hmmm, I might just have to eat my words...(ouch!) I tried mine under USB again just for kicks and actually noticed a slight difference (downplaying it for my sake ;) in N3. I have yet to try Viper Racing or GPL...Maybe there is one, but I don't think it's a very big difference - maybe depending on your system specs? Who knows, who cares? Just enjoy...PEACE! =-Rigs-= '...whatever answer, however illogical, must be the truth...'
