Reading around I think MS have discontinued making the wheel :(

I read this when the Madcatz new wheel was announced, the MS wheel wasn't the best ever, but I used it with reasonable success, and quite liked it!

I was trawling around the used highstreet gaming shops on the weekend and saw the MS wheel instore for £80 with a game included in the box, so there is stock around..

I love the Fanatec PWTS, but once the last few have been sold, the only choice is going to be the Madcatz wheel, which has no reviews yet, is over £100, and doesn't have a clutch..

MS need to pull their socks up, let Logitech create a cheap 360 wheel, or get Fanatec to do the new cheap Carrera wheel in a 360 flavour..

Logitech Drive FX has been out for ages. Works on PC and xbox 360 it has axial feedback and not force but it works well. I actualy prefer it to the official wheel.

BTW the Axial feedback only works on GFWL games on the PC and F1 2010 is one of them.

Its only about £45

That's annoying, I was looking for it as a cheapish wheel that could be used on PC and Xbox

You should be able to pick a second hand MS wheel up from a i Street store for around 40 quid, I did ages ago. I have a Black momo for my PC but still prefer playing the 360/MS Wheel on my 40" than i do the Momo on PC.
I'll be getting F1 on the 360 & using my Home made cockpit even though i could run it on my PC & use my Momo.
The MS wheel really is an Excellent bit of kit & for 40 quid it's a steal. :)

Everything that I can find about that wheel says it is 360 only. Also cannot find it for sale.

Ive got one and it works on the PC via the USB cable. Only has axial feedback on games for windows live games on PC.

(GRiD, DiRT2, F1)

i hated the official MS one the pedals are an absolute joke and it got mega hot. It just felt like a toy. It broke for no reason as well

Does seem that the logitec its out of stock now though

I still don't understand why MS don't want logitech making wheels for the 360

It is a difficult one to find any information on, as any logictech staff that I know that post on forums, they signed NDA's preventing them from saying things. Generally the reason is given as factors outside the control of logitech or something similar and I have seen other people pointing fingers towards Microsoft. I have yet to see any conclusive proof it is Microsoft though, but if Logitech say it isn't them then the only conclusion is that it is Microsoft.
 
Still glad I got my drivefx for £20 new last summer, just need something to mount it on, don't have enough room for a desk mount, office chair + carpet in the room could = a very cheap static stand? Any ideas?

Ive ordered the wheelstand pro for £95 for my M$ wireless wheel on Sat...its being shipped out today...been reading reviews about the stand and it seems that most people are very happy with it...its sturdy and folds away after use.

Whoa. Let's hope the game is good after investing all this money!

Well its not only going to be used for F1 2010...ill be using it with Forza3 as well...saying that its been a long time since i used the wheel as ive been using the pad on Forza3 so will take some getting used to.

£95 i think is a great price for something that will fit into my room as i dont have the room for a full setup ie chair etc. Plus compared to the fanatex rennesport wheelstand...its a fair bit cheaper as well.
 
Found this interesting about gear changes and engine noise:

Yes, the change is slightly slower than expected for the top cars so you might say the majority are more like the HRT! Some of the scenarios that come with the replication of F1 cars pushes the physics engine into extreme territory. After all, the engine has been used with far slower cars. With accurate RBR shift speeds the car had a tendency to become ever so slightly unsettled in corners and we felt it was better to have the longer gear engage periods than to unsettle the car physically and visually. We'll iron that out in '11 which will also please madfiddler! (the audio lead).

I don't think we have the downshifts sounding right for 2010, no. However, this is so closely linked to the physics, there wasn't a great deal we could do. Should be big improvements on how gear changes sound (up and down) in 2011.

In terms of engine sound, we have slightly different sounds for engine manufacturers. Again, gear changes follow the physics, not the engine manufacturer.

Hi guys,

I'm trying to find somewhere selling the playseat A1 but can't find anywhere with them in stock...

The best deal I've come across is from a place selling for £230 ish but they're out of stock and when I rang up the girl said they've been out of stock for quite sometime.

I might just forget about the playseat and get a wheelstand pro instead, only I was put off by the guy's youtube video review of it saying his knees regularly knocked the metal pole.

A) Does anyone know where I can get a playseat from which holds stock
B) If not then do you have a wheelstand and have this problem?
 
Question to the user who already has the game..

What about the McLaren F-duct? Is this a usable option during gameplay e.g. push to use?
