I just picked up Logitech's FF wheels, and although awsome...I find it certainly more difficult to drive. Do I need to give it time and get used to it? Or do most of you guys use non ff wheels? TIA TR

I've had my FF wheel (Force RS) for a few weeks now, been playing GPL. Just recently I decided to try it without the force and I think I like it better without force feedback. It's a little easier to drive without having the forces acting against me. Anyways, that's just my opinion.

As you go through the corner, naturally the steering wheel is harder to turn as the tire *** wall is trying to snap back as tire maintain the grip on road. When tire lose the grip and the tire sidewall snap back, then you ll feel much lighter in force from steering wheel so you know your tires are losing grip so you have chance to correct by adjusting the slip angle of tire to get grip back. Does FF wheel with GPL work this way? (it would be neat if software can display the current slip angle while racing...) If so, then it would be helpful for me to practice through winter to get ready for real SCCA Formula 500 racing starting next March. :) What is the best FF wheel for any price? :> :> I just picked up Logitech's FF wheels, and although awsome...I find it :> certainly more difficult to drive.

Now that I've used mine a little bit...I think it is a worth while addition. I noticed that w/ SCGT as you enter a high speed turn (w/ a lot of load), the steering does feel heavier. Also, NL will exhibit the same feedback...and when the tires go away you'll feel less resistance in the turns as you turn the wheel. Way cool. TR
