I Want This So Badly - For The Racers

I want that so badly!!!

I hope the clutch is spongey aswell.

For £200 buy a banger and race it around a field.

What do people use to stop the pedal block sliding on a none carpeted floor when your hammering it?

Stellios · 31 May 2006 at 23:44

I use a tin against my wall to push the pedals forward and let the wall take the strain.

omg i want that soo bad....... :rolleyes:

Race Frame Pro V2.

However - the tin method sounds good for cheap.

Desperately saving for a BRD-05 Car Simulator or preferably a BRD Lotus 49 Simulator - probably will never happen though.

i put a shoebox in front of the sub and the sub against the wall. What other games support the clutch?

6 speed forward gearbox and a reverse

So much for cars that have 7 hehe

That looks so nice.

I hardly use my DFP (which I paid £100 for when it was brand new as it was a 900 degree wheel) but that looks so much better, I really want a clutch pedal and proper gear shifter :cool:

ajgoodfellow · 2 Jun 2006 at 14:17

That looks very nice

£200 is a lot but I paid that for my Microsoft wheel many years ago!

I just hope that the pedals have some decent feel to them, particuarly the brake pedal. I bought my Microsoft wheel before I learnt to drive and it was fine, but the brake pedal, for example, has zero feel or resistance and easily goes all the way to the floor. Completely unlike a car pedal! It has a rather restricted rotation angle too which this looks to fix

Damn and ive only had my DFP a couple of months lol. I think i'd probably be slower in LFS using a clutch pedal and a gearbox, but I reckon it would be a lot more fun/realistic.

gam3r · 2 Jun 2006 at 18:02

Oh my gawd! Wouldn't it be awesome if the clutch pedal actually rumbled at a biting point

ajgoodfellow · 2 Jun 2006 at 18:05

Oh yeah - that'd be enough to make me buy it

I'm hoping that these pedals will be the best ever with true feel in each pedal. It's a shame that they're not hinged at the top though

FrankJH · 2 Jun 2006 at 22:02

too rich for my blood ( as I dont drive at all) but I can see why people want it so bad.

Memphis · 2 Jun 2006 at 22:08

Yeah I'll have one at £200. I enjoy my driving sims and I'm happy to pay that to enhance my enjoyment.

Is there a point of a 900 degree turning circle?

Most racing games have racing cars and most race cars dont need 900 degree turning. Although I'm a really man myself so usually a quick flick will do my nicely

will be good using the clutch, shame gt4 isnt on the pc that game would be great using them wheels and pedals

Precicely...

270° is more than is really needed - how many people feed the wheel on a race car.

KnightStalker · 4 Jun 2006 at 22:17

yes 270 degree's, is the more natural turning of the wheel for a race car, but some people like to treat the car as a normal car when messing around in some games, to be honest 900 degree isnt all that, i bought a DFP, used it once, sold it then next day, for many reasons....but this wheel has so much more potential for the serious racers out there, more control, more feel (sort of), that sort of thing is what some people want, and Logitech are finally making what most of us racers want, a budget* setup

* if you have 200 notes laying around that is

This wheel can also be used on a ps2 with games that support other Logitech FFB wheels like the DFP, so in theory it should be compatible with GT4.

This wheel is designed for GT-style games like GT4 or LFS. I play LFS and some road cars in the game are designed for a wheel with up to 720 degrees of rotation. You'd be daft to buy this wheel if you intend to use it purely for F1/open-wheel racing games. It would be such a waste. Get a Momo wheel for that.
