Looks good, but the wheel doesnt have Force Feedback. If you are getting this for a PC, I would rather get a wheel with FF.

agreed. there's another company that makes a really good wheel with ff but they're expensive. I have logitech today momo but it's still not good enough

a my mistake it's not ff but is resistance only

. here's the mfgrs I found.

Also looking at this for the garage. http://dtsims.com/index.html

I wish thomas or ecci had forced feedback. Better yet would be if logitech would just make a high-end unit.

My logitech was okay at first then the bearing started to slop. When driving F1 this little bit of lag in motion makes all the diff in the world. I bought another unit and it ended up having the same problem after some use. Now it's to the point where I can't drive competitively because I have to drop speed before diving into turns.

I took the first wheel apart thinking I could fix it or beef it up. The design limited what I could do. I put it back on the shelf and haven't raced F1 over the web in 3 months.

Oh well...

AT LAST!!!!! A thread I can relate to!!!!

The RaceRig site has not been updated in quite some time. Is the product still available?

The DTSims one looks good but nothing for PS2?

I have PS2 and GT3 (for my 2 year old daughter of course) and bought an iInterAct racing wheel and pedals which suck! $39.95 should have been the giveaway. It LOOKED beefy but reaction time BITES!

For quite some time I've wanted a realistic driving simulator and am even considering NAMCO but I really like PS2 and it's options. Just HATE using the handheld control.

Anyone try the diff models? What's the most realistic esp for reactions time?
