vibration?

Hi All, I just ordered an Act-Labs force RS wheel and am eagerly awaiting its arrival. I do have a question though: How much of your FF wheel's vibration is translated to your desk? I have a glass-top desk and was wondering if everything will vibrate so much that it might affect my ability to watch the monitor. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

just let her sit on it while you go for a few laps on the rumble strips, that'l change her mind. -- Kenny L. kenny_l AT pacbell DOT net * > I've got a LWFF and have it hooked to the pullout keyboard tray.

Hey Kenny, PMPL (there's a new one for you ... Pissed my pants laughing) Nice to see you (kinda) outside a NRLA bug report. NRLA behaving for you? Look for an update soon. Dean >just let her sit on it while you go for a few laps on the rumble strips, >that'l change her mind.

LOL, oh yea, it'll shake your desk for sure. Especially with the strong motor in the Force RS. Not so much in GPL or MGPRS2, but in games like NFS3 or Midtown Madness be prepared for some jarring. You can still view the monitor though, because your head will shake at the same frequency as the screen ;) Slot <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8a0rg0$2bo$[email hidden]...

I have a MS Sidewinder FF Wheel. FF set to full. 3/4" thick wooden desk. My cats hate me, they can't sleep on the desk when I use the wheel. Guess they're kinda ticklish :-) /petern On Mon, 06 Mar 2000 17:56:18 GMT, [email hidden] wrote:

I've got a LWFF and have it hooked to the pullout keyboard tray. It shakes the crap out of it, when it goes. My wife gets pissed at me when i smack the wall, run over rumble strips or run in the dirt while she's watching TV. Dean [email hidden] wrote in message <8a0rg0$2bo$[email hidden]>...

LOL. Good one Slot! >GTX_SlotCar wrote in message ... >You can still view the monitor though, because your head will shake at thesame frequency as the screen.

ROTFLMAO...I havent laughed this hard in a long time. Good one!!! Chris "Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass."--Mark Twain

Hello, I have an oak desk set at home that is loaded with hardware and books (heavy) and it still shakes like crazy. You know what is cool is if you hook up a powered sub to your system when you are playing! I have a 12 inch, 300 watt sub that I drag from my stereo system. It is really cool to have the floor and desk shake! My girlfriend's cat usually likes to stand on the keyboard and paw at the moving lights on the monitor, but she flies off the desk once the Force RS is hooked up! Raymond ACT LABS www.act-labs.com

What are your Force-RS settings to make it shake that much?

haha. OK I'll make sure to bolt everything down before I start using this wheel. I wonder if some thick foam paddding under the wheel might help?

Well, the first time I used my MSFF I still had all sorts of stuuf over my desk (CD's on top of the speaker, manuals leaning up against the monitor, pencils on the desk, etc) and half a lap around Monza I was killing myself laughing as everything just fell all over the place as a result of the desk shaking under the ff effects. At least it makes me keep a relatively clear desk now ;O) Peter Hooper <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8a0rg0$2bo$[email hidden]...
