captred and/or other wheel users............

i have been looking for a inexpensive wheel that will work with pc, ps3, and 360..(fanatec is too much for right now..  the only one in the price range i want is this one...( i have $75  left on a bb gift card, so its basicly half price)


http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Logitech+-+ … 1&lp=2

it works for ps3 and pc(with software dload), which is fine for now.  with gt5 coming eventually, which will require the wheel pretty much to be competitive.

my question about it ..  is this  one a good starting point for a rookie wheel user?  if i like it i could always upgrade later.

any of you used this one? just wanting feedback from people i know.

thanks

I'm pretty sure that's the replacement for the DFP, so it should be a good wheel.  The DFP was widely accepted as the best wheel for its price point...the only problem is you can't use that with Xbox.

Re: captred and/or other wheel users............

that is the only prob.  Its a sacrifice i am willing to make at this point.  Basicly starting with the wheel on a new game where i have no controller habits.  learning it from the ground up.  I feel converting to the wheel for fm3 at this point would be overly frustrating for me, but maybe i am just nuts..lol

Well let me put it this way, I AM basically re-learning to drive on iracing, and I've always driven a wheel. It isn't that the cars in iracing handle worse, it's just that you are driving the car with the throttle and brake SO much more than you do in forza. Once you make a mistake, you just can't correct nearly as easy as you do in forza. On minute long tracks, I am 4 and 5 seconds off the pace right now, it's just incredibly demanding. With that said...it has a fun factor to it that's been missing for me with forza for a long time. If it is nothing else, it is very challenging.

Well I wanna hear your impressions of it. I've never used that one, but as Scooty said, it's widely accepted as a quality wheel. Seems to have lots of good features at that price point, plus it's a logitech. They generally put out quality stuff.

Re: captred and/or other wheel users............

Goose, you might already have a wheel by now? but i will leave my feedback.

Have the DFP, the new version you showed an image of is almost identical bar a few extra buttons, and have used it also.
The wheel is rock solid, FFB strength is very strong, playing games like F1:CE is a joy with the wheel, like a real F1 cars its increadbale bumpy and you feel every last road surface thru the wheel.
900deg works fantastic, many say why do you need 900deg its over kill but its not and once you use it you will see why, on a standard wheel turning the wheel 90 to 120deg is almost full lock on a 900deg turing the wheel that much is like only 30% or so lock, causing so much more balance, less tyre skidding etc cause you not always on lock to turn a corner, sure you hardly every turn the wheel 900deg in the game but just like a race car or F1 car when have you ever seen them turn the wheel more than 120deg, its a misconception lots of ppl have "who whats to drive by turning the wheel over and over" lol fricken n00bs.

Pedals are nice, good feel to them and work well with all games i have tried it on(PS3).

I own a G25 also and i must say the wheel part is only slightly better that the DFP so that says something about how damn good that wheel is. only the pedals and shifter on G25 make it come to life.

In terms of my ranking

G25 10/10
DFP 9/10
Momo PC wheel 6/10 (wheel is just as good as DFP but only pc and cost double)
360 wheel 3/10 (one of worst wheels ever used, crap unresponsive pedals, built like rubbish, wheel has way to much play, FFB is about 80% less that DFP/G25 and when turned up is almost un-drivable)

Few game to try this wheel on
-F1:CE (you will feel like an F1 driver after this)
-GT5P (not as tuff as F1 but so much more enjoyable)
-Ferrari Challenge- This game is similar to Racepro but with the wheel its so life like(check video below)
-SuperCar Challenge- Same as above but more cars and newer version.
