Aghhhhh: F1 Sim-Pedals...........kaput!!!!<wbr>!....advice req.

God damn it......!!!! Powering around Monaco (not!!) on a qualifying lap feeling good, car handling oky-dky when comes across an idler with a blown engine..... What do I do.....? Chain reaction.....get a fright, stand up and put whole weight on pedal unit and slam on the ***ing brakes....... Guess what..? Crack!!!! Snap the plastic brake pedal in two...***. So, Gotta buy a new one. Now I've seen a few posts weighing pro's and con's of various combos and FF opinions... So here's a plea, advice req on best combo with GPL and more than likely GP3, the only proviso being that the wheel unit has paddles as in F1 as I have a disability that prevents me using gear shift and fiddly buttons. I'm kinda interested in the Microsoft wheel, but not sure if it meets my style so te speak. Better make sure the pedals are as hardy as *** as well. idav Who's sitting here with a pet lip on having nothing to play with except the wife.

get the proper f1 sim pedals (the metal ones), they are durable as hell, feel good, and race really well... pez

No, question about it get the whole Actlab FF wheel, and the shifter awesome setup for GPL, or anything. The shifter is awesome. Best support group I have ever seen period, they really care and want to help..

Went through the exact same thing as you so I got the Microsoft Force Feedback wheel. Pedals are pretty damn fine but the buttons are a bit fiddley if you want to change gear whilst in full lock.
