Logitech FF

I tested the Logitech wheel today and I didnt like it, the wheel was good but I just hated the pedals, there was no feeling. I think I shall have my Thrustmaster Nascar until I find a Guillemot Ferrari FF wheel somewhere. Here in Sweden I have not seen it.

Check out this site there force feedbackwheel isnt ready yet but is soon to be borned according to the info on the webpage The nonforcefeedback wheel is very good especially the pedals if you like them with a long "throw" http://www.interactiveracing.com/

Zeke Don't give up on it yet. You can use your Thrustmaster pedals along with the LWFF Wheel. Go to http://www.simracingmag.com Eric has instructions on how to do it there.

Being a Ferrari die-hard fan, I tried the Ferrari wheel. I didn't like the thin / small shift paddles. Felt like they would break easily. I also did not like the foot pedals at all. They have a pivot point on the upper part of each pedal where the pedal joins the brake / accellerator shaft. It gave me much less felling than I was used to with my Nascar Pro wheel / pedals. I have since purchased a LWFF and really like it. Seems to be of higher quality. While the pedals aren't as good as I would have liked, they give me much better feel than the Ferrari ones. (I may wire up my CH ProPedals to the wheel.)

After seeing so many comments about the LWFF pedals being poor, and looking at them in the stores, I didn't think I would like them. But after using them for a while, I find I do like them. To me, one of the most important issues is the pivot point of pedals. Some have pivots that are so far removed from where my heel is, that I feel like I'm holding my whole leg up in mid-air. The LWFF pedals don't cause me that problem -- I can keep my heel planted on the base. I no longer have any intention of bothering to wire in some other pedal unit. Dave Wilson

Yes, that was my exact problem with the Ferrari wheel's pedals. They actually have two pivot points per pedal. I didn't think I would like the pedals when I first saw them many months ago. But they actually like them now that I've tried them out. I will miss that Ferrari horse prancing on my steering wheel's hub though. Guess I'll order a stick from Speedgear for my LWFF's hub.
