Hello people,

Maybe someone can help. I have never been big on computer games, but fancy getting some form of game that is realistic for rallying / racing. Ideally I would love to get hold of an old arcade game thing with steering wheel and pedals built in, but I have no idea which one to go for and where to get it, what it would set me back.

Failing that what is the best racing / rallying game I can get, on what system, and how much will it cost? (i want to get pedals and steering wheel, else it seems a little pointless!!

BTW I baught a pedal and steering wheel set (Modena 360) for Grand Prix 3 which I baught for my PC, but I could never get the set to work in conjunction with the pc and it never seemed very realistic as pedals were so weak and weightless. Is that the best I am gonna get???

Please advise...!

Grand Prix Legends is about as realistic as it gets.

and for 12 grand you can get a fully licenced Jaguar F1 car shell, it goes upto the engine (this is where your pc sits)

It looked really cool, till I saw the price

snowcrash, where do i see old arcade games for sale??

I would recommend the ACT-LABS wheels, pedals (including clutch! ) and working 6-speed box

I love mine! - works on the normal i-Force force feedback technology that companies such as Logitech use.

Direct ACT-LABS product link.

BURR,

so do you have one of these?? I have a pc, but when i got a modena 360 wheel and pedal set and grand prix 3 for pc, I could never get the wheels and pedal to work properly with the game.

Its the pedals I am most interested in, they are the most useless really on most racing sets!!

Gotta Saitek RS4 ff, superb

Best for the money.
Just a shame you can't get it now.

BuRR

Yes, I have one and think its superb. The best thing being, that there's a plugin cartridge that enables the unit to plug into any computer / games console.

.../me is waiting for an Xbox cartridge

Whilst we're on the topic of Force Feedback wheels, does anyone know if the Xbox has true force-feedback, rather than the feeble attempts the consoles have with their "rumble" (or should I say wobble) packs? Let's face it, the Playstation (1 & 2) force feedback is crap, especially when compared to the PC one.

Grand Prix 3 - I think you have to have a 3-axis wheel for that to work correctly.... or make sure your control panel games control setup is correct.
