Logitech Wingman Formula or Formula Force Wheel

I currently play ICR2, N99/TPTCC99 and SCGT with a flightstick. I want to upgrade to a new generation wheel. I used a Thrustmaster T-1 for a couple of years until I broke the gas pedal. Is the new force feedback technology really work it? Or should I just get the normal Wingman Formula. Thanks in advance. Ivan

Unless you have the money to spend, buy the non-FF. I don't find FF worth the extra money when you take into account that there are more things that can go wrong with a FF wheel.

Out of all these titles, only SCGT supports FF in the first place. So unless you are planning to add to your sim arsenal in the near-future, I'd recommend the non-ff wheel. -- Chuck Kandler #70 ChuckK or KS70 on Won.net K&S Racing http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/thepits/195 The box said "Windows 95 or better", so I installed LINUX!

In SCGT FF might actually help you once you get used to it. The Guillemot Ferrari FF wheel is a nice unit and also has a stick shifter built in, and the pedal unit is pretty nice. Cost about $153 US with shipping. The Act Labs Force with the Force Shifter is really nice and has nice pedals. Cost about $220 US with shipping and has the option for a gated or sequential shifter. Both of these support split axis pedals which is also a nice feature. For non FF the MadCatz Andretti Racing wheel is pretty good. Its digital and the pedal unit is nice (about 10 lbs too) although it has excess wasted travel at the end of the pedal throw. A couple of 50 cent *** erasers stuck in the end of the pedal slots take up the slack just right. It costs about $70 US, has a stick shift and paddles and is well made.

It's high quality and its working perfectly for all kinds of driving games. Some people complain that the pedals are a bit to little sensitive, but i think they are just fine, and they dont move as you drive a bit rough. I would say buy the Wingman Formula, but of course if you have the money, why dont you go for the Force Feedback since they are otherwise same design.

I would like to buy this Wingman Formula force feedback steering wheel, but since several weeks, all the shops I contacted are having trouble to get it from Logitech. Why the hell Logitech doesn't deliver their products, what's the problem. I wanted one before Xmas. If there aren't any Logitechs, I'll buy a Microsoft (or any other good one) !

Well I have owned a V4 Force Feedback Interact Wheel since last Christmas, recently I decided to purchase the Act Labs Force RS wheel. I thought the USB and shifter additions looked interesting. When I received them I immediately removed the InterAct V4 and installed the Act Labs Force RS with Shifter through the USB port. I was highly dissappointed in the feedback "feel" compared to the Act Labs wheel. Other than that the fit and finish of the Act Labs RS is superb. The shifter worked superb. The gas and brake pedals are superb. I feel the InterAct V4 software interface is much better and easier to program. After keeping the Act Labs Force RS for about a week and dealing with their superb tech support I was forced to return their Force RS wheel. I really wanted to keep it just because of the USB and Shifter features, But the InterAct V4 beats it hands down in actual game play enjoyment The bumps (rough roads) feel like bumps. The slides like slides, Crashes like crashes, engine rumble like an engine rumbling ect. ect. I was ready to trade off the Interact V4 for the new RS Force but I couldn't do it. The InterAct V4 wheel has spoiled me. Until a wheel comes along that has at least equal to performance in force feedback I have to remain satisfied with this simple but very gratifying wheel.
