Saitek R440 does the job well. I dont use it anymore though, I feel like a child with it clamped to my desk. It gathers dust.

Let me take it off your hands then!

Is it in good nick?

Are there any PC driving games worth buying a wheel for?

Live for Speed
rFactor
GTR/GTR2
GTL
Race/Race07
Richard Burns Rally

you could also use it for arcade racing games if you reaaallly wanted to

I quite like ToCa 3

Whats the best racing game for the PC these days ?

HangTime · 28 Mar 2008 at 21:54

I have a Microsoft Sidewinder precision wheel.
I wouldn't recommend it, since:

a) You probably can't buy them any more
b) There are no drivers for Vista, so it works kinda weird (e.g. the throttle is inverted, you have to push it down to slow down. No, I'm not confusing it with the brake!)
c) The pedal base has a tendancy to slip

Get the Power & Glory mod for GTR2, lets you add all the GTL cars into GTR2 and gives you improved physics (and avoids star force which has OS-wrecking potential).

you could always go on ebay and look for a logitech momo in decent condition, going for less than 45 now when in practically new condition

NightSt@lk3r · 29 Mar 2008 at 09:40

Logitech Formula Force GP, Logitech MOMO Racing, Logitech G25

something essential should you ever play a proper racing game and not get uniformly banned from every server you go on

I'd spend the extra and get a Logitech Driving Force Pro.

Agreed - had one for a few years (bought for GT4) and it's exceptional.

I also have the Microsoft 360 wheel. Bit crappy TBH.

Really wanting a G25 now - the wheel to beat all wheels... until logitech release another 'better' one that is!

G25.

Don't even use it since I bought a laptop. I just sit in the living room now playing champo!

does the Logitech Driving Force Pro work good on the pc? From what i can see its meant for ps2 and ps3 with no listing for it to be used on pc on logitechs website

Mad_Jay · 30 Mar 2008 at 02:20

It works great on the PC, im using one. All the buttons work correctly and its picked up right away in vista64 and identified as "Logitech Driving Force Pro".

I downloaded the wingman drivers, made by a crew of Logitech driver devs. Which gives you loads more options for configuration.

thats good then cos im looking at getting a new wheel aswell.

SpudMaster · 30 Mar 2008 at 02:34

Looks like i might be able to get a Logitech Driving Force Pro and a Logitech Momo Wheel for about the same price.

Which of the 2 would you get ?

Streeteh · 30 Mar 2008 at 11:06

Personally the driving force pro due to its full support on the PS3, also the momos peddles are known to break.
