What wheel to get for GTL?

[hugh_]

I got GTL today and realise already that a wheel is going to be essential. Any recommendations, or comments (good or bad)? Must be force feedback.

Also I seem to recall PH multiplayer races being mentioned in the past, are these still happening? If so when and whats the server ip/pw?

Cheers
Hugh

If your budget will stretch, theres always this on the horizon www.teambrd.co.uk/ ! pez

That looks very nice, but seeing as you get a free pass to BRD's day of simulation excitement at Spa Francorchamps if you order now I would imagines its out of my budget, being a student!

I've got the Logitech Driving Force Pro, which is a PS2 wheel but works well

this PS2 wheel works with a PC? I take it its USB then? Where does one get drivers for it?

Weeeeelllll, I'd first point you to the Logitech site

Download the Logitech Wingman Software and this'll be perfect. Make sure you fiddle with all the settings though because by default you'll lose the 960 degreeness.

I run mine at 540 degrees and it seems to be perfect within GTL on standard 15.0 lock.

Well i'm confused, looks like Hugh_ is talking to himself and answering his own questions... ...My God, I think he's become possessed

No, the key to that bit is ">> Edited by neil_cardiff on Thursday 16th February 17:23"

Have no idea why he editted it rather than replying to it, maybe just hit the wrong button or there is a bug in the system.

My guess is Neil clicked 'Edit' instead of 'Quote' with his new Admin privileges, and didn't notice the [quote] marks weren't there.. Done it many times myself when trying to quote my own posts.. Doh!

Fair enough - does anyone know when the PH multiplayer races are?

Got my wheel today. Didn't do as much work as hoped this evening! Its very different to playing with the keyboard and MUCH harder, took the best part of 3 hours playing to get the hand of it, but got there in the end (with the mini, will probly still struggle with RWD).

I'm using the default Logitech Momo settings, btw should the "reverse" box be ticked where it says "Logitech Momo Race"? Just a thought and might have been why I was having difficulty.

Yeah should be online later, havent signed up or anything yet but will do when I get back. I doubt I'll be back from the gym before 7:30, what time do most people play?
