Microsoft A16-00029 SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel and Pedals Set Reviews
| 25 of 25 people found the following review helpful  A must have for driving simulations, By This review is from: Microsoft A16-00029 SideWinder Force Feedback Wheel and Pedals Set (Personal Computers) After just a short time with this wheel I couldn't imagine not having it while playing driving simluations. Even without the force feedback, having wheels and peddles brings new life to racing games. With the force feedback, games are just unbelieveable. The sensory feedback you get gives you better control over the car and the whole game just feels better. For example, in a F1 simulation the cars feel as sensitive as you would expect. You can feel the rear end sliding around if you give it too much throttle. With a regular wheel you'd have to infer this sliding from the screen, but with this wheel you just feel it.

On my Windows ME box it took four attempts to get the steering wheel to register and the configuration software to load. I get checking the USB port with my Microsoft Sidewider game pad (which works perfectly) to make sure everything was ok. When I tried to load it on my Windows 2k box, it went on the first try. I guess its a hit or miss deal, but it could be frustrating to inexperienced users. Second, the included software. Monster Truck Madness 2 really (stinks). If you think "hey a free game, cool". Forgot about it. Really. The profile software, on the other hand, is very cool. Presets for some common games and the ability to tune things so when you switch games, you don't have to redo all of your settings. Third the forcefeed back. It is notchy and you can...

Even Nascar2 can be fun again. Only real negatives are pedals like to move and shifter knobs should be designed a little different. Both are easily overcome. |
