Just receive LWFF

Yup, I just received a LWFF wheel. It's the Taiwan model. Ought to be interesting comparing it to the Ferrari and Force RS. I've been doing a few laps in GPL and NFS: PU. My opinion so far, I think the pedals are tweakable (another how-to article?), I saw a nice red gearshift knob at the store that I've been wanting to buy (maybe build a stick shifter), and as for the wheel itself, well...... it's pretty ;) Slot

Each game seems to require different settings for the best FF feel. I didnt like the NFS:PU feel until someone posted a good setup. I think it was mostly turn the "engine" FF to 0. I made my own pedals and replaced the bushings with ball bearings. Lutrell GTX_SlotCar wrote in message ...

Should be quite old stock, if you got a Taiwan wheel. But it's the better one. Jens On Wed, 5 Apr 2000 23:05:21 -0400, "GTX_SlotCar" <[email hidden]> wrote:

I also have the older model, and a friend of mine bought the new wheel (which comes with SCGT). The ff of the new wheel is -much- stronger, but mechanically the wheel was complete crap. Very inaccurate, the wheel was very wobble, and while driving I sometimes heard parts in the wheel making funny noises. I told him to change the wheel for another, I just hope that the all newer wheels are not as bad as his one... I tried GPL with his wheel, completely unplayable, I was correcting the steering constantly. Boy was I glad when I came home and I could drive with my own wheel again!

Your friend should write to Logitech support and complain. They keep on ignoring me (after I told them how I find their actual quality of wheel and support). See you Jens On Mon, 10 Apr 2000 08:36:44 GMT, [email hidden] (Andre Warringa) wrote:
