COOL THOUGHT!

Looks like i will have to buy one and review it myself as it doesn't seem like anyone else has used one ...stay tuned.

hmm i dont think it would work

[TM_Infidel]

If it would work.Might be good might be bad.Might be hard to ride no idea how it would work lol.

Looks good but i dont think you will be able to control the riders forward or backwards motion. I guess its just for car racing but it would be super awsome if this would work. I am looking forward to your review

Well ..it works with MXSim, i just went out and purchased one plus a usb wireless receiver that you plug into a spare usb slot and it synced to the speed wheel after a restart. (this speed wheel is made by microsoft by the way)

You can move the rider forward and back easily enough with the yellow / green buttons on the right side. Right trigger button for throttle and left trigger for brakes depending how you like it. You actually turn the whole wheel left or right to steer which felt pretty cool. You can adjust settings to your own liking as it had no prob's identifying most commands except for the small cross wheel on the top left side of the stick ...i just wasn't able to configure it to any command yet, not sure why.

It might take some practice but i feel i could get used to it even after 8 laps of Freestone only compared to an xbox type controller which i just never felt comfortable with. It's quite responsive and i experienced no over sensitivity or deadzone issues with it right out of the box.

I'll see if i can post a vid using MSXim soon but for now you can view how it works on other pc games here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNorXpyQujo

Try a friends or one in a store setup for another game to see how you like it before taking the plunge.

Personally I wouldnt use something like this. Just for fun I once hooked up my fanatec gt3 wheel and it was horrible. This game moves much too fast for a wheel. 360 controller is what I use. But that's me.
