GT Force

[DaveWaters]

I'm considering buying a steering wheel, but I can only really afford the GT Force one, as all my money goes on kart racing in real life. I see you guys all use Driving Force Pro, but should I buy GT Force, is it worth blowing loads of money on the DFP, or should I stick to using a controller?

I would DEFINETLY recommend the Driving Force Pro... see the review here: http://www.pocket-lint.co.uk/reviews/review.phtml/405/1429/logitech-driving-force-pro-feedback.phtml

I managed to find a DFP on ebay for £65 including postage from America, and I've bought it. I can't wait to play using it.

The DF has a few advantages over other PS2 wheels.

It's cheap and good quality. It has large Dumbo-ear paddle shifters which are so handy, not the micro-switch paddles on the EX or Pro. I bought my third DF recently, brand new and in the original box - $25CDN delivered personally to my door. It doesn't have the quality feel of more expensive wheels, but it does its job like a trooper.

The button layout is the best of any PS2 wheel. The SONY buttons and D-pad are right where they should be. The top L and R buttons are able to be accidentally pressed when the wheel is turned fully, but that is rare.

There are a few problems with it, too. The pedals are not invincible, but they work well. The collar holding the steering shaft wears, but there are fixes for the looseness.

There is no better wheel for the money than a DF in good condition.

Cheers,

MasterGT

Just like MasterGT i've found the ole workhorse Driving Force wheels to be great value for money. Picked up my third one for $10 second hand and its in great nick. Alot cheaper than the DFPro and G25 (although a G25 is definately on the cards once the price drops and the whole FF issue with Sony is over and done with).
