Can anyone using wheel & pedals give me some force feedback? Specifically, which brand u have used, & how is the wear & tear of the thing, esp the FF motor
i use a thrustmaster formula force and have to admit that i actualy like it. I can't get rid of the feeling that it will brake soon neough but that has to do with previous experience with tm products, this one is actualy holding up quit well. I bought this one because it was the cheapest and i was curious about this ff thing. I like driving with ff in gpl. Although you have to get used to it because it is acting dif. than you might think. Instead of the friction on your front wheels when turning they decided to put the weight of the car on youtr steer. So there i was steering in under full throtle in an open wide corner and to my surprise the steering got heavier....i just didn't understand cause in real life when going faster steering gets a bit lighter, but it's because they projected the centrifugale force of the body on the wheel wich ofcourse was opposite of the direction you are steering to... It takes some getting used to but after a whil i actualy are using the extra information to ge allong, just don't set the forcefeedback to high cause then yuogive yourself a handicap to big, enough to feel it but not enoug so that you have to fight your wheel in places where you can use all the precision you can get. I say buy a non ff for on-line racing (although sometimes i use a ff when racing powerslide online, game with the best implanted ff i have ever experienced) and a ff for those hours of practice off line. just my 2c Andre
