Ferrari wheel report

Thanks for the post. I was looking for a new setup and was considering the Ferrari. Looks like I am still looking. Can't seem to find a good set of pedels to go with a quality wheel. For a reasonable price.:)

The pedals on the Ferrari are not the problem--they are great with high resolution. It's the wheel itself (low resolution) and the bizarre drivers that seem to work in reverse that are the problem. And, questionable quality control so far has been a major issue, too. Marc.

Have you considered the TSW? Mine is almost 6 years old and is in great condition still. It's one seriously high quality piece of kit. They may seem expensive, but if you factor the price over time, they are more than worth the money =) You get a lifetime warranty too.... ...Colin

The TSW is probably a great wheel, but it's a wheel of the past. As force feedback rapidly evolves and as developers learn to successfully exploit this technology, then it will be hard to use a non FF wheel. Thomas at this point in time is either unwilling or unable to add FF tech to their wheels. I'm not judging them, simply stating a fact. I do think that we're on the cusp of a FF revolution and that a non FF wheel purchase at this time may not be a wise choice.

Unbelievable. I'm sorry, but this is without a doubt the most stupid review I've ever read. I am a fan of firingsquad, but in this case the writer has absolutely no idea what he's talking about. Slot

Hi Marc, I still get very good resolution on the wheel, and the drivers are the standard iForce drivers, interchangeable with the Act Labs wheel. Nothing reversed about them. I can run either wheel with either driver. Slot > The pedals on the Ferrari are not the problem--they are great with high > resolution. It's the wheel itself (low resolution) and the bizarre drivers

Interesting...I wouldn't expect to get no FFB with the settings at 100% and full FFB with the settings at 0%, but maybe this is normal in some corners of the globe....?? The wheel resolution is low and Guillemot admits that. It isn't so low as to be terrible, but the package would be so much better if the resolution on the wheel were double what it is. Then it would be a top-rated wheel for sure, as it does everything else reasonably well and has all the options at a decent price.

Gee Marc, that would upset me too. My FF settings aren't reversed and I checked with a couple other guys who said theirs aren't either. I wonder if the problem with yours also affects your steering resolution. Seriously, mine goes right where I point it as good as any other wheel I've owned or tried, and better than most. I don't know who at Guillemot told you their wheel resolution is low, but the guy I talk to most there, Phillipe, says they're proud of the wheel except for a couple embarassing quality control problems that they are (or have by now) working out.

What settings do you use to get FFB in N3 or GPL. I have to use the opposite settings to what are recommended (and have been recommended since day 1) by Alison Hine, etc....people who very obviously know what they are talking about. Please list your control panel and in-game settings and we'll see if any of the other Logitech and other IForce wheel owners use anything like those settings.
