Hello people, I have been reading with interest the various recommendations for steerings wheels, as I plan to purchase one shortly. However, many of them do not seem to be available in Australia (or Adelaide, at least), so I would like some suggestions from the Aussies in this NG about their personal preferences. At this stage I am budgeting up to AU $200, but will go higher if given good reason to so do. I am planning to use it primarily for GPL (which I purchased some 18 months ago, but have never really used, as my crappy joystick made it impossible to drive). Any suggestions? Thanks, Anthony. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Infamous Captain Potato [email hidden] Die Toten Hosen - Until the Bitter End Bis zum bitteren Ende http://go.to/deadpants

In the Southern Hemisphere, does the Coreolis Effect make the wheels turn right when you turn he wheel left? I know it affects the water going down the gurgler....
