Best wheel advice
Hi,
This last few years or so I'd gotten cheesed off with sim racing. I thought GPL was mint and spent hrs on it. But when mod after mod appeared on F1RC and I got lost in all the setups.No matter what I did everybody always seemed to be much faster than me ( okay, maybe I didn't apply myself to FIRC as much as GPL, but I always felt everybody was running hacks whilst I ran a stock basic game ) So , I've just decided to turn over a new leaf. I've just bought GTR today from GAME for £15 quid an I'm ready to get back into it again. I've noticed F1RST2 has now become FIRST3, so I'll get that running. So my next problem is my FF steering wheel assy. I'm on my 2nd Guillemott(Thrustmaster) Ferrari wheel as my 1st one sufferred from perished wiring in the steering column due to the radial movement. I got my 2nd Ferrari wheel about 2 yrs ago but that has since gone crazy.....the forces either don't work or they go mad and shake the wheel to pieces, plus pull heavily to the left. So I'm on the lookout for a decent robust FFB wheel, preferably a used one off Ebay that has a good rating on this NG. Or alternatively is there any way to make my Ferrari wheel behave like a bios flash or something ? Pls help me get back into the saddle Thx |

Imagine starting to play tennis at your local club and then entering a Grand Slam Tournament... To avoid getting disheartened try to find a league around your level or be prepared to find some similar racers at the middle or back of the pack in pick up races. Just like any other sport talent varies and the amount of practice time varies even more. > > So I'm on the lookout for a decent robust FFB wheel, preferably a used one > off Ebay that has a good rating on this NG. > > Or alternatively is there any way to make my Ferrari wheel behave like a > bios flash or something ? A Logitech DFPro is an excellent and well built model IMHO Cheers Tony |

If you really are looking for second hand, any of the Logitech Momo wheels but they're like the proverbial rocking horse s***. Andi.

I don't understand how a PS2 labelled device can work on a PC. Does it have multi interface cables and different drivers or soemthing ? |

Logitech Driving force Pro. so you know. I hear it doesnt come out of the
box ready to "PC" bu tyou get drivers that work with some (or is it any) other LOGI brand wheel, works like a freaking champ (Im going by consensus of posts). SOmeone here has one, you might start a thread about it, or my better idea, GOOGLE.COM search this group about that wheel. Good drivin to ya...

True. The drivers can be downloaded from he http://www.wingmanteam.com/latest_so...st_soft_xp.htm Enables selection of degrees of turn up to 900 degrees with any game by selecting it in the Wingman utility. LFS S2 (not sure about any others) enable changes to degrees of turn in its own interface. Cheers Tony |

I had a mental picture of a rocking horse, but didn't make the link to them being extremely well house trained. <g> Thanks Andrew. Jan. =--- |
