Contoller Advice : which?

Currently got a thrustmaster formula sprint - which i really like, the steering is nicely weighted. It hasnt got split axis pedals or a clutch though. Im looking to upgrade, but what do i go for? Is force feedback any good these days? Used before and it was just an annoying shake, rather than feedback...... Rick.

Try the MSFF or the momo force nice force feedback and good pedals that support split axis :) dan "Richard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3f268b5f$0$3135$[email hidden]...

See if you like any of this... http://www.act-labs.com/Products/race1.htm For the price, I really like... http://www.act-labs.com/Products/pedal.htm# On a side note... I just called ACT-LABS because a spring snapped on my accelerator peddle (I use it a lot). And also a friend of mine was a bit too rough on one of the shifter paddles (the big oaf). So I needed one of those too. The guy there said that I was a couple of months out of my warranty, but not to worry they will send me the parts at no charge! Sweet!! :) People are always quick to tell others about companies that piss them off. I wanted to share an experience with a company that has a happier ending ;) Thanks Act Labs! -- Pete Panaia Animator \ 3D Artist

I vote for the ACT Labs Performance pedals and the wheel feels great but I hope there is a better feedback wheel out there. Definitely go for feedback! Anyone know if the act labs pedals can be used with the momo force feedback wheel? "Richard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3f268b5f$0$3135$[email hidden]...

I made an adapter for MOMO Force (red leather) and Act Labs pedals once, but it didn't work. I don't have that pedal set myself so I'm unable to find out why it didn't work. But I assume it has to do with different potmeter ranges. However a customer made a cable for my MOMO wheel - MS Pedal adapter, and was able to use a set of homemade pedals initially made for an Act Labs wheel. :) -- Jone Tytlandsvik http://tytlandsvik.no

I use the momo, with the act-labs pedals, works great no problems.

If you like the wheel but not the pedals, why not try if you can get ECCI's excellent E3000 Trackstar pedals connected to your wheel. Maybe write them an email and ask if they can do it. Their website is www.ecci.net and they've very helpful. They're in the US, but will send the pedals over. Achim "Richard" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3f268b5f$0$3135$[email hidden]...
