Make sure you test the pedals in a store, if possible. I couldn't stand them, so I chose the MSFF.

There are only a few sims with great FF effects, namely GPL, ViperRacing, N3 (good, not great) and GP3. -- l8er ronny Your mouse has moved. Windows must be restarted for the change to take effect.

GPL has such good FF since it doesn't just use spring motions, instead it uses individual forces to simulate the feel and it's updated all the time, that's why it can also slow down the game a bit too, these are the games with the best FF IMO. 1. GPL 2. Viper Racing = NASCAR Heat 4. RC2K 5. GP3 6.

GPL is the only really good FF implementation I can think of. Most games just vibrate the wheel when you go over a curb, or rotate the wheel violently when you hit something, but in GPL the FF actually helps you with the feedback needed to drive the car. It's also really entertaining, to feel how heavy the steering gets when you go through a compression, or how light it gets when you go over a rise. Also the jolt you feel when landing after becoming airborne is cool. I suppose other games with fairly decent FF would be GP3 (although the FF is GP3 is not realistic IMO) , Viper Racing, RC 2000 and maybe Sports Car GT. Superbike 2000 has terrific FF on my Sidewinder Pro FF joystick, but virtually no FF on a steering wheel for some reason. GP500 has good FF, but it switches off when I crash (not that I ever crash of course). Of course there may well be plenty of others I don't own :) "Rob Jenkins" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:399921dc$0$768$[email hidden]... > G'day, just wondering what the best FF games are (so far) - I am lookingat > buying a FF wheel, most likely a logitech - seems a good wheel for theprice, > although there is a rumor that they are bringing out a new less expensive > wheel in the near future??? > > Anyway, just wondered what are the best FF games around - can't wait togive > them a go!

I agree, Viper racing is a very underrated game indeed. It's really good fun multiplayer and does have the next best FF after GPL. Some Call Me Tim
