For those that have this wheel, can you unhook the pedals and just have the wheel plugged into the usb port? I wanna get this wheel but would like to use a different set of pedals. I don't have a lot of room under the desk. My MS wheel allows me to disconnect the pedals completely. I heard some wheel setups like the logitech require the pedals to be plugged in to work since they usb connector is on the pedals. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net

I had one of these. The pedals were the worse ever made I think. Damn near straight up and down! When you extended the swivel all the way, the pedals were HORIZONTAL! Because of this I never really got to use the wheel much. Couldn't afford the physical therapy my feet would have needed. I think I kept it in the box for a couple of years, then one day got tired of looking at it and tossed it in the trash. Check on the software. The last time I looked, it hadn't been updated in years and was highly problematic. -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I ended up taking the roller pedals from my T1 and mounted em on the Andretti. Made a huge difference. Also had to mount a plate near the top most throw so as to avoid the deadspot. 100% agreement on your assesment Larry :) I'll dig mine out and try the wheel with the AL perf pedals and get back at ya tommorow checkmysig..

I want to use just plug up the steering wheel portion. -- karkrazy AT softhome DOT net

I don't remember the details, but they were interconnected. -Larry <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Sun, 08 Sep 2002 03:43:55 GMT, "Larry" <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >I had one of these.
