Wheelstand Pro V2

No worries.
The stability comes from the fact that your feet are planted on it with the pedals, so your heels are normally applying some pressure downwards. It's very adjustable, so I can't see you having a problem, it'll just take some time to get used to it and get the right angles dialled in. I'd say it will be more stable at lower extensions.
Saying that though, it does depend on how much force feedback you like to run. Personally, I use very little FF, having it set to indicate what is happening to the wheels/road surface (as much as the sim/game allows), whereas a lot of people seem to go in for the macho settings of 'a race car must have heavy steering, I need this to be giving me a workout' which can then lead to the steering wheel and whatever you've bolted it to trying to run out of the room. Horses for courses on that one, your preference may be different to mine.

thanks for your input here mate, I have hit the button and ordered from Wheelstandpro.co.uk now I am having trouble getting a nice calibration so it matches the wheel movement on Project CArs.The stability comes from the fact that your feet are planted on it with the pedals, so your heels are normally applying some pressure downwards.

Glad to be of help, hope you enjoy it.
You're on your own there, I gave up with Project Cars very quickly.
Give Project Cars another try?. You're on your own there, I gave up with Project Cars very quickly.
They have applied quite a few patches and it's not what it once was. When if first came out it was nigh on impossible to string a lap together on a controller with no aids on, it was just so twitchy and unpredictable. Since the patches you can now do lap after lap without spinning out randomly. Even held slides successfully with a controller (adding that I am using the same steering settings as I was before the patches).
Saying that I do have a T150 on the horizon so that should change the game again.
