What is by far the best, money-is-no-option wheel out there? I remember several years ago, like 95-97 there was a mega metal wheel that was several hundred dollars

More realistically though, whats the best wheel for the regular joe consumer? If im going to play GPL, i want to really play it well, my old Thrustmaster GP wheel is falling apart

My Thrustmaster 360 Modena Pro is fine... I'm sure there are better ones if you want...

DON'T buy a Logitech Wingman Formula Force GP... I did that and had to take it back as it didn't work properly in GPL. The wheel sends your car into uncontrollable spins every once in a while by jerking into a full right lock for a second or so.. horribly annoying.

I got a M$ SideWinder FF instead... it's OK, but I can't use the FF with GPL as it kills the fps

But anyway, FF isn't all it's cracked up to be, you probably don't need it anyway

In that case which wheel is the sturdiest? I dont know how many days it took before i broke the springs in my last wheel and I was operating the pedals by wrapping my toes around the ends of them...

Unless you can find the old one!!!=). Its a really good wheel. I've tried the new one, and it SUCKS.

Yeah, I'd heard about that. So I think that one is called Logitech Wingman Formula Force, without the GP... That's what confused me

(force feedback not available with TSW's)

I personally own a Logitech Wingman Formula Force wheel (red wheel)...the original...and still the best IMO for the price. Stay away from the newer Logitech models.

they have a very good wheel with force feedback. I've got it, and it's got a good feel.
cost me a bit though, cos i had to ship it overseas. i think by now it should be available in stores.

I have one of the (fairly new) guillemot force feedback racing wheels (with gearstick as well as paddles)

it has a lovely feel and seems very well built and 'heavy' though the pedals are the weakest area. using the gearstick (albeit linear) in gpl is cool, paddles never seem right.

what I love most about force feedback is feeling the wheel go light over a crest..

mt favorite was the wingman force one, i think it is red, and about £120.

I have a crappy saitek r100 that does the job okish, but only cost me 20 bucks in a sale, and is a good wheel for the price I paid for it, but it wouldn't work on GP2 and as yet I havent tried it on GP3

Ross,

I recently purchased a Thrustmaster NASCAR Pro Digital 2 but have had severe quality problems with it.

Here's the exact problem I've had Ross: http://www.atlasf1.c...&threadid=25526
