So my old Thrustmaster was the only casualty of moving to Win7 64bit. No drivers that I could find.

I need a wheel (yes, I know, I'm 41 and should have moved on). I need to drive the F1 tracks before each GP to get the lines and corners, and I'm going to have to play the Codemasters game when it comes out.

So - any wheels out there at the lower end of the scale that people have working under Win7 64 bit ?

Thanks. Will investigate some of those.

<after some clicking about>

See, that's the problem with Pistonheads. I would have been quite satisfied with a 20 quid bit of plastic that worked. But no, you had to show the good options.

Now I NEED a clutch, and a proper gear shift gate, and of course leather. Oh my. My wallet.

I just sold my Logitech Driving Force Pro (the GT4 one) for £40, probably the best of the cheaper bunch. I upgraded to a G25 and it's great (although I do miss the wheel mounted buttons of the DFP).

Where did you manage to get the G25 from ? I sort of need a higher end wheel now smile

Got it for Christmas so I don't know where it was bought from I'm afraid. Have they been discontinued now because of the G27?

There are a few around but now they are discontinued they are harder to get hold of.

Just bought a g27 on flebay. Seems a bit suspect though as the seller accepted 150 for it, thought they go for way more than that.
