Wheels

Do you have a wheel for your games? What kind is it? is it good?

Well, me, I got a thrustmaster Ferrari wheel for christmas, its good, just getting used to NASCAR 06 with it, and Ive won many races in Race Driver 3, Its brilliant!

So, what've you got?

Rockmunky · 28 Dec 2006, 22:11 (Ref:1800786)

Er, i have a mouse atm... isn't the best thing for brake and throttle control....

Looking to get a Logitech G25... But everywhere is out of stock and they're expensive...

Chatters · 29 Dec 2006, 00:03 (Ref:1800843)

Oh, STEERING Wheels...

Kieran20 · 29 Dec 2006, 18:39 (Ref:1801386)

i have a microsft sidewinder, does the job, but i would like a G25 which i will get when it finally arives.

nihil · 29 Dec 2006, 19:40 (Ref:1801413)

I have a Saitek R220....

LOL

Its sh**e - the pedals seem to have a spike in their travel (which makes it really easy to pop the brakes) and, no matter what I do to calibrate it, the wheel doesn't centre properly (meaning I have to consciously keep on a minute amount of right hand lock just to get down to the other end of a straight without mishap).

Makes driving GPL a nightmare...

But it sits very comfortably on my lap (no ff) and I've got used to its idiosyncracies, so I won't be upgrading yet.

i have a MSFF wheel . but also looking for a G25 . or at least a DFP .. can't find any of them around here actually ..

TwoSheds · 29 Dec 2006, 23:59 (Ref:1801553)

Currently have a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback.

Boxy · 30 Dec 2006, 01:09 (Ref:1801581)

I have a Logitech 'Driving Force', force feedback for the PS2. It is brilliant! Especially 'round the Nurburging on GT4. Every little bump comes back through the wheel, often throwing you off line, leaving you constantly having to catch the car. Highly recommended.
With a young daughter around these days, time is very much against using it though! ( + I have a missus whom I have fight to get a go on the PS anyways!!)

**Dani Filth** · 30 Dec 2006, 08:51 (Ref:1801662)

use it with your PC and leave the PS for the missus

Excuse my daftness, but I didnt think you could use this wheel on the PC?
That, and the fact I havent (shock horror!!!) played any racing games on the PC.

when you play a racing sim on the PC, u will be totally amazed at how much more realistic it is. you will go back to the PS and you will seriosly want to shoot it

i used to love playing the Sony f1 games and EA games, and also toca race drier, until i bought F1 challenge for the PC. its so muhc better. im not wrapped up in Rfactor and Live for speed and also racing online is much more fun too

im looking forqward to gettting my G25, ive always wanted a clutch pedal

, but at the moment im sticking with my Microsft wheel

PS: do all miscrosft wheels have FF? because i have not heard of any one else who doesnt have it lol, do they all have it or is mine a broken or doesnt support it?

**Dani Filth** · 30 Dec 2006, 13:41 (Ref:1801765)

you have the Gameport version by any chance ??

@boxy . yes . the DFP works on PCs as well... if your PC isn't that old and can handle GTR2 for example. . give it a try .. you won't regret it .. hope so

DAVID PATERSON · 5 Jan 2007, 03:03 (Ref:1806770)

I got a PS2 & GT4 for Christmas!

I bought a Logitech® Driving Force Pro Wheel & Pedal set half price at the Boxing Day sale!

Very, very happy!

pirenzo · 5 Jan 2007, 10:02 (Ref:1806880)

I've got a Logitech MOMO Force Feedback wheel (the red one).

Its getting old hat now I guess, but it's still a nice wheel. It has lasted me three years now or more, without trouble or need to replace/clean any parts.

I used to have a MS Sidewinder wheel, but the MOMO is much nicer than that. It feels sturdier, is better ergonomically IMO, has better FF and looks much nicer too.

drumbstick · 5 Jan 2007, 11:33 (Ref:1806955)

I have a MOMO (black ;o() with BRD speed 7 pedals

Kieran20 · 5 Jan 2007, 16:14 (Ref:1807616)

i read soemwhere that the logitech G25 works on both PC and PS2. now is this that there are seperate wheels for each or does the same one work on both, or is this a lie

AFIAK it works for both - my DFP works for both.

nickyf1 · 5 Jan 2007, 19:58 (Ref:1807723)

Sounds like a skip it problem to me

nickyf1 · 7 Jan 2007, 17:57 (Ref:1808929)

yeah, im getting it replaced

jonboy1066 · 7 Jan 2007, 18:42 (Ref:1808962)

I've had a DFP for a couple of months now on my PS 2 and it's great (only cost £60). I'm a little worried about the latest news of PS3 and FF not working though. But it could just be one of those negative publicity style rumours that turns out to be a load of ol' tripe

pirenzo · 7 Jan 2007, 23:05 (Ref:1809167)

I cannot imagine PS3 not supporting force feedback.

jonboy1066 · 7 Jan 2007, 23:54 (Ref:1809188)

Neither can I but some legal issues have prevented Sony from adding rumble force into their controllers and FF into any wheels/guns that they make. This does not mean that Logitech or anyone else can't make a peripheral for a PS3 that has a force feedback capability but it's then down to the game programmers to include it into the code of the game, which, (Allegedly) Sony are discouraging the games companies from doing.
So far it has been announced that F1 Championship edition and Motorstorm do not have FF but I hear that NFS Carbon works fine with FF. I also heard that the GTHD demo was released with FF but the 1.1 version had it removed.
I think I'm gonna hang on a while and see what happens when "Race" gets released which will be the first racing Sim for PS3 and if it has no FF I may consider doing the unthinkable and going for an XPox. (After all GTR is being released for XPox in the Summer)

I did have a wheel (cant rember the model, but it's was a very old one but I loved it, espicaly you could adjust the gear selector from the sequential stick to 4 buttons on the back of the wheel) for my old pc when I used to live up in Queensland but when I moved the cables were crushed and split, so it was damaged beyond repair. And I did have a wheel for my Xbox based on the Ferrari 360 Modena but it was damaged when I had to move again. Oh what fun I had with those two
