Anyone tried this out? I have a spare Sidewinder wheel and the gamepad just isn't cutting it in Thunder 2003. Jason

You no see "if your software supports [USB]"? Next time read more careful.

Are there any non-FF wheels you'd recommend for the Xbox Steve? I can't seem to find much in the shops out here, just a few Mad Catz wheels which in my experience (at least with the Dreamcast) aren't any better than a gamepad. Jason

Haven't tried it yet, but the Mad Catz wheel seems to be the one most people recommend for the Xbox.

I have the Thrustmaster Nascar wheel for the xbox and it is a plastic "piece", that's why a usb connection would be wonderful if it would work with the TSW2. Unfortunately, I take it that it will not ... "Haqsau" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ast52m$um8de$[email hidden]...

Jason, I don't know of any. The TM is awful. I've never had much respect for MC products. Maybe Thomas or BRD could be persuaded. --Steve "Jason Moyer" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > On Sat, 07 Dec 2002 13:11:02 GMT, "Steve Smith" > <[email hidden]> wrote: > > >You no see "if your software supports [USB]"?

Maybe Thomas or BRD could be persuaded. Bleh. It's sad that Microsoft hasn't released a version of the Precision wheel that works with their own gaming console. Jason

To me, it's bizarre that Microsoft, which pioneered USB, doesn't offer USB with the Xbox. Sony, OTOH, which always goes its own way with proprietary *everything* (you can't buy generic AA cells; it's gotta be a Sony-brand battery) has incorporated USB into the PS2, so you can use almost anybody's FF wheel. (See my upcoming Motor Trend piece for more rant...if they don't cut it.)
