  •  Cool, thanks! (none / 0)

    I bought a wheel for the original Xbox (CM3) and it was so crappy (securing the thing), I just went back to using my controller.  That was the last time I considered buying a car racing game.  

    As far as I am concerned, racing games HAVE to be played with a wheel.  To date, the only wheels I have liked are those that come with a seat in the arcade.  Yours is encouraging news. :)

    •  Yep, (none / 0)

      they are a whole different thing these days.  When the games are customised to take advantage of the feedback it really kicks serious arse.  Dirt is a prime example of this.  When you land jumps the wheel locks up, and when you are in the air the wheel becomes light.  Actually the drifting in grid is pretty good too, as it actually has feel once traction let's go.

      Next time we meet up I will bring the wheel for sure.

      The only things I would change on the MS wheel to make it more competitive would be a stick shifter, and real bearings for the main shaft.  Other than those two things I have no complaints with it at all.  That is really saying something for a MS product.
