i assume youre playing w/ Forza motorsport on xbox? its pretty damn fun and id recomend doing so if not.

from what i gather though, the xbox software doesnt do forcefeedback.. kinda crappy. i just have a cheap mad cats wheel, but it still fun as crap

I have the Fanatec Speedster FF wheel for the XBOX... and dare I say that I like it as much as the Logitec GT4 FF wheel. The 900-degrees of rotation, solid build feel, and the shifter were definitely a s tep above the fanatec, but the Speedster works well inn a minimalist sorta way. Oh, and the paddle shifts are AWESOME.

It comes highly recommended if you can get one used, however, if you are thinking about getting a 360, please realize that the controller types are changing and true FF will work on 360, as opposed ot the Force Effects on the Fanatec. Still, I think the Force Effects are pretty darn good for the Fanatec.

- dow

This is what has pretty much stopped me from buying a wheel for my Xbox anytime soon.

logitec is rumored to be coming out with the new force feedback wheel for xbox, i am looking at it with some interest, i wonder if it will work with colin mcrae rally 4, i had a wheel that did not work so well, but the game supported it, i wonder if the new wheel will work with it? logitec gt-4 wheel for playstation 2, works really well,, the same thing is comign to x-box is what i hear...

dahlback all the way.

Pete, My understanding is the same as Brian's. There is no support in Xbox for force feedback. So there will never be any Xbox wheels that support true force feedback. There may be some that try to simulate true force feedback and some may do this better than others. Xbox 360 is another story as I expect it will support force feedback (if it hasn't already been confirmed).

Correct!

You can adjust the 'force effects' on the Fanatec wheel for the amount of feedback, and it has savable setting so you can set the wheel up correctly for the game you are playing. However, these are, once again, only force effects taht correspond to rumble effects. If the GAME does not do a good job with rumble effects, expect the 'Force Effects' to do a sub-standard job with the wheel.

However, good things about Forza and the Fanatec wheel is that it was designed FOR the wheel, so you have the proper amount of resistance and wheel auto-centering which makes playing with the fanatec wheel a good experience.

Needless to say, I am going to HOPE the GT4 wheel works well with XBOX 360 ... but once again, I doubt it will since there is no headset plugin for the wheel. Without that, it is about useless on Live!, so useless for me.

Add me to your friends on Forza -- I am always up for D - A class races with the 'Hack' cars They all sound like Hoppe-mobiles
