Some questions about the DFP

[Pink_the_Floyd]

Hi everybody,

I'm thinking of buying the DFP but I'm stuck with a question:

Does it have a maze of wires or is it wireless?


'Cause I'm thinking of designing my own desk to place it on but I could have some troubles should it have a maze of wires and cables




Pink,

It has wires. There's a power supply wire, a USB wire from the PS2 to the head, and a wire from the head to the pedals.

It has 3 cords, one of them a USB, one of them that connects the wheel to the pedals, and one with an AC adapter for force feedback.

Not a maze of wires, just 3: One that goes from the PS2 to the Wheel (USB), one that goes from the Wheel to the Pedals (Serial Port) and one that powers the wheel (2 Prong AC/DC Converter External Power Supply).



Third time's the charm, right?

It's got a power cable that goes to the wheel. A cable that goes from the wheel to the pedals, and another that goes from the wheel to the PS2/PC.

Just a general surgeon's note:

If you have a mesh of wires with any contraption, it might be worth a trip down to your local Radio Shack or other audio hardware store to pick up a package of wire-ties, which allow you to effectively group together large masses of wires and wrap others to more suitable lengths. You can't reuse them, but they're cheap (something like a box of 100 for $2). Personally, I've got a couple on the cables running between my PS2 and sound system, and the DFP's as well (that long USB cable isn't really needed when there's less than a foot's distance between the two devices). A good value, if you're worried about spaghetti.

OK, thanks you guys, I'll find some way to drill a hole somewere in the desk to hide the wires


I can't wait to start drifting with it

Its actually quite difficult racing with a DFP because i just got mine today and the force feedback "feeds back A LOT of force".haha.It gets a little getting used to.especially when i dont have a table to mount my wheel on.i have to use my lap.=( im thinking of making a little table that will make my wheel steady so i dont have to put it on my lap.

FORCE FEEDBACK...

Isn't it that thing that gives back force, the more speed, the more force feedback?

Sorry, but I'm new with this wheel
