Hi!
If you had to choose between an Andretti and a Thrustmaster Nascar Pro
Digital 1/2, which wheel would you prefer? All three have fine pedals,
are connected via USB, don't support force feedback and are priced below
$80. The Thrustmaster ones have split axis for the pedals, but I'm not
sure if the Andretti wheel has other advantages I haven't discovered
yet. Any opinions?

The Andretti Wheel is GREAT!
Here is the review I did when it first came out.

I highly recommend it.
Conversely - the NASCAR Pro Digital was junk - at least the one I reviewed.
Here is that review:

Good luck.

2. The pedals on the Andretti are pretty much pure crap but the wheel is
ok. The PD2 has ok peadals and is a decent wheel also. Neither are great
but you definitely can't beat the price of either. Driver support is nearly
non-existent from both also, although the Thrustmapper s/w worked ok till XP
came about. I ended up getting the Act labs pro pedals to go along with the
PD2 wheel and havent looked back since.

worst I've seen :(
I also had a TM Nascar Pro Racing wheel (very similar to the digital I
think) and the pedals were prettty good. MUCH better than the Andretti
wheel. Built quality wasn't too bad either.
If I had to choose, I'd take the Andrettti wheel, with the PD2 pedals.
Currently, I have the Andretti wheels using modifed pedals. The wheel runs
through the USB nps, and the pedals thorugh the game port as a seperate
controller. Works ok for GPL and N4 etc.. But not for SCGT. F1 2001 works
good too in split axis.

came out is the one im still using (gonna retire it in a couple weeks for an
ActLabs package). I bought the PD2 when it came out, but got rid of it
quickly due to the fact that they changed the solid wheel to a 2 piece
hollow wheel, which summed up the whole cheap feeling package. So, i
replaced the bungee in my PD1 and cleaned out the pot in the wheel while i
had the bottom off (didnt really need cleaning), and would buy another PD1
if i had to go cheap again.
Maybe mine was the exception, and not the rule, but my PD1 even survived
bouts with kids and the such. I pray my future RS setup will last as long :)
Thanks for all the replies, I ordered the Andretti Wheel now.
I'll see if I like the pedals or not.
