I read somewhere that the wheel does not have force feedback or 900* turning on the pc and those are only supported on the ps2 is this right?By the way I got it for $49.99.

It does have force feedback and it does have 900 degrees turning on the PC, whoever wrote that needs an ass-whipping.

Sounds good thanks for the response.

Has both and maybe it was originally designed for the PS2, but it works just fine on the PC. You may want / need the Logitech Gaming Profiler (free download from Logitech's site) that has some useful features (such as splitting pedal axis, for one) but I've used a DFP for probably 2.5 years now (it's never even seen a PS of any version) and never had a problem with it

I have one more question under my desk I have one of those hard plastic sheets to aid in sliding of a wheeled chair will the pedals slide at all?

Couldn't say for sure (I'm at work atm so can't check the underside of my pedals) they do seem pretty stuck much stuck to the floor at home.. but I think a lot maybe down to driving style.. whether you're "haphazard" with your feet etc. I have an old VHS tape between my pedals and the wall at home just to make sure they don't move (although it's all carpeted anyway) as sometimes my feet can move a bit quick / "sloppily" and possibly end up pushing the unit backwards a little over time. If you apply a more downwards pressure rather than forwards, you may have little problem as there's also quite a substantial foot base plate as part of the pedals unit too which obviously then helps to keep them steady if your feet are resting on it

Sorry it's not a definitive answer.

They might a bit if its slippy floor, if its laminate then they probably will need somethign behind them to stop them slipping, if its something that the spikes on the bottom of the pedals can dig into it should be alright.

Thanks for the input Also how much force does the wheel and using it give to the desk my desk was made in china and it kinda wobbles a teansy bit http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8529/s0073475enlqy4.jpg

if your desk is a little wobbly the dfp will likely shake it pretty good.

I built a stand to hold my wheel out of wood, and its quite sturdy and even it gets a little wobbly from the DFP.

if you are worried, go to a hardware store and get creative and brace your desk some more.

If your pedals move around and the carpet spikes don't work, try some adhesive tape of choice.

Are you sure you bought a DFP, $49.99 would be very cheap and NewEgg list it at $89.99.

it was open box

Just got my wheel and it is in perfect condition the only things I dont like is that I have to leave my keyboard halfway hanging off the desk in order to use it as my keyboard sits in a tray under the desk and the wheel covers it up... And aanother thing is that the wheel is very hard to get used to if you only used to use controllers a very steep learning curve.

it is a steep learning curve, but its easier if you start off with less rotation, for example try 400 degrees instead of 720 or 900, work your way up as you get comfortable.

I use 540 degrees of rotation. try that. I used a Formula force GP before, and it was about 3 weeks till i got used to the wheel, but its very rewarding!
