F1 SIM racing wheel question

2 posts by 2 people · 24 Jun 1997 - 30 Jun 1997

I've just ordered the F1 SIM racing wheel by Digital Edge and noticed that it's possible to buy optional accessories to this wheel / pedal system. Does anyone know how the optional VMS (Virtual Movement Simulator) work? Will I benefit from the VMS system when playing GP2 by Microprose. I cannot imagine there is any support for VMS in GP2, but I might be wrong. What about other racing software (Nascar 2, Indycar Racing 2 etc.)? The only info I have on the VMS system is from the homepage of Digital Edge: "VMS (Virtual Movement Simulator) provides realistic torque feedback through the steering wheel" Check out this page for details: [link lost in import] What are the differences between the standard wheel and the optional D wheel or the Benetton Wheel? PS: It's even possible to purchase a F1 body shell for this wheel / pedal system, but with a price of 2500 I guess you have to be a millionaire to afford that. Regards Borger Borgersen Oslo, Norway

Hi..... I own an F1 SIm, however , I do not have a vehicle motion simulator (vms) unit. I do however know how they work, it is basically a cylindrical unit, which you strap to your steering column or chair leg. The unit simulates variable motion/vibration, and is controlled by the pedals, not the software you are using. EG:- the more you accelerate, the more the unit vibrates (Oo-er!!!!) So it should work in any program that the F1 SIm works with? The "D" wheels are just that "D" shaped? instead of round? The Benetton wheels are just normal wheels, but with the benetton design and logo on it? And they cost more? You do need to also purchase the dc power pack to get the vms unit to work, contact Digital Edge or Interactive Racing for more details/prices etc. You can always hire it for the day? d:~)) **Peter**
