Steering Wheels for Race Games

[lazyitus]

How many of you have one?

Are they any good and if so, which would I be best buying?

(For F1 2003 (PS2) for example)

[Stig]

Logitech Driving Force.

None better.

Btw. the PC version works on PS2's too (as I've just found)

You talking about the newest one Stig. The Driving Force Pro wheel? I got that recently and its bloody fantastic. Roll on GT4 and the 900* opposite lock.

Great with NFS, F1 and RallySport Challenge on the PC

Soo amazing, best wheel ever IMO. Bit on the expensive side though.

That's what I've got

Only use it on GPL and Nascar 2003 though.

Same wheel here, hard to imagine GT3 before I had it.

I have the Momo as well. Superb!

Dabs do the momo wheel for £70.50, anyone know of a better offer?

Whats up with that link?
Sent my pc crazy....click click click click click and it wouldn't stop!!
Don't try the above link

[docevi1]

works fine for me , check out www.dabs.com and use quick code 2VRLWS.

Thats where I got mine from, couldn't find anywhere else even near the price.

Sorry to drag this one up again but I've found a Logitech Driving Force cheap. It's not the Pro one though.
Just wondering what everyones thoughts were?
cheers

I bought a Logitech Formula Force wheel and pedals on Monday. I have taken it back for a refund.

Yes, you can feel the weight of the steering, you can feel it go light. However, it wasn't responsive enough, there was too much lag there. It also became very difficult even to keep a car in a straight line, I can only liken it to severe torque steer. I also found that in games like Colin McRae 4, despite turning the wheel 45 degrees to the left or right, the steering wheel on the screen did not move until after that point.

I just found it incredibly difficult to drive with it, I seemed to be fighting the wheel, rather than driving with it.

the Momo is a far cry from the cheaper wheels. I've just been playing GTR and it's superb in there.

I use the gamester Lotus wheel for the Xbox.. rather lovely..

One of my colleagues just picked up a sidewinder wheel which he reports is rather nice

I'm not sure which one your's was, but with the MOMO Racing (pics above) you can set all of the lag, responsiveness, feedback. Everything in fact in the Wingman profiler and within the games ini files.

Don't give up too soon. If you want a really quick response just try searching on Google for your wheel and the game you are trying to play, there will be someone else about who has the perfect settings for it and it will transform your game.
