I am considering buying the Logitech MOMO wheel which has a gate gear shift. Before I do so, as I would only want to use this feature for GPL not F1 sims where I would prefer to use the paddle, does GPL support the shifter? I hope someone using it on GPL can let me know. And any other info on this wheel would be great too. Many thansk in advance Glenn
It isn't a gated shifter and yes it works with GPL. It can also be used on the left or the right of the wheel. Marc "NO SPAM" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Thanks Marc, therefore is it sequential, ie up and down I guess? On Sun, 30 Mar 2003 23:55:41 -0500, "Marc Collins" <[email hidden]> wrote:

The shifter is sequential on the MOMO Racing Wheel.. You should also be aware that the paddle shifters on the MOMO Racing Wheel are a bit flimsy. Mine broke (ie - became non-functional) after only 6 weeks. This is apparently a common problem with the MOMO Racing Wheel, caused by a design flaw. No such porblem with the MOMO Force Wheel though. (But no shifter with the MOMO Force, either). NO SPAM wrote:

Great feedback, thanks I wasnt all that keen on the shifter anyway. So I will opt for the stronger paddle version. thanks again Glenn On Mon, 31 Mar 2003 17:41:30 GMT, BRH <"bertrh<no-spam>"@attbi.com> wrote:

Just bought the Momo Force myself and after a few laps at Monza absolutely love it :D Next on the agenda is the Act-Labs USB GPL shifter as I do prefer the stick shifter for that added bit of realism in GPL \ Nascar sims.
