Nice wheel, I was looking at them yesterday, $500.

What games do you use it with?

1295263 2012-08-19 03:40:00 Who you working for Huey if you don't mind me asking?

A company called ecoglo. We manufacture photoluminescent signage and stair nosings. They are used as a much cheaper substitute for electrical exit signs and lighting on exit routes to meet building code. We export more than we sell here but the market is definitely picking up here. My job involves inventory control, factory scheduling, day to day accounts and I also sort all the freight export.

Mostly rfactor and Race Injection. Have had a play with rfactor 2 but it's got a long way to go before it's fun. But the wheel makes games like dirt etc less arcady too. Also have the option of pluggin into the playstation etc. Definitely worth the money but there is a bit of learning involved in setups to get the feel right. Should also add that most older games do not support the shifter/clutch setup all that well. Most can be "made" to do it with a few config edits.

Thanks for the offer, I don't really use the CRT. It's only there cause I have no where else to put it :lol: (and don't intend on dumping it) I'm probably going to buy like 3 new screens with my next build.

It's a total beast, you can see the refresh rate flicker out of the corner of your eyes if you are looking at the main monitor. It's probably seizure inducing :p

Sweet, I have an older Logitech wheel I bought for rfactor, cost me around $300 if I remember correctly. I'm thinking of a purpose built G27 racing simulator for rfactor 2.

G25 or older? Have you had a go at rfactor 2? I find the bugs just overwhelm the whole game so will put it on the shelf until they come up with a full release. Guess rfactor took a few years to get where it is now so will be the same wait for 2
